Glad to see new trapping videos in the future. I really enjoyed your earlier trapping videos and have watched them several times learning a lot. Thanks!!
just wanted to say I have learned so much watching your channel. I have been a fan since dual survival. and now because of watching you I don't need more than five seconds on the button. thank you for the knowledge.
I enjoyed this video, Dave. Thanks for posting. It brought back happy memories of my trap-line back in the 1980s in Southern Michigan when I was in high school. I bought a used Winchester 94 .30/30 with money from trapping when I was in 9th grade. I was proud of that rifle.
I have that same trap basket. I attached fishing rod holders to the side of it. When trapping season is over it becomes my fishing pack for those spots well away from the road. The rod holders don't interfere with my trapping stuff in any way.
Good info Dave! Trapped for years in N Wisconsin. Learned our craft from old trappers and the bible "trapping North American fur bearers" the best volume bar non for someone who really wants to know the craft!!
Good video Dave. I used to trap many years ago and was rather successful at it until it came time to cash in the furs. The prices dropped down to almost nothing for practically everything I was targeting and I lost out big time. I've thought about getting back into it but only to trap for food and have a few furs to tan to turn into something useable. Thanks for the tips and good luck this season.
Really looking forward to this series, we can't trap,like this in the UK but I am very interested in the subject & keen to learn the skills so I have a good understanding of them if I ever needed them.
I don't use the steel trap setters for my conibar traps anymore. I use the rope method. I haven't found setters that don't twist on me. I do beaver trap and as I stated the rope method works fine. rope takes up less space in my kit.
i always love the trapping stuff. i trapped only two seasons, 4 and 5 years ago, only 8 traps, but it was great, caught muskrat, possum, coon, and 1 beaver. then i had a kid, and another kid, and just got a puppy, so no go this season, but maybe next season i can do some. would be great to own enough land to trap on, maybe by next season as well.
still time to hunt, just cant run a trap line, to much of a commitment, maybe when i can take a kid or two, or if i get my own property i will be able to.
Trapping = Smart way to harvest game anyone can afford. Hunting = When all the rich executives come out here to the west and pay $15k to have a chance to shoot an elk I see everytime I go into the hills. Now I love hunting. Don't get me wrong. Elk, might be my very favorite game meat. I would rather draw a cow elk in bow season than Oryx rifle hunt. But more and more, hunting is turning into a rich man's sport, guys with $10k rifles who fly here on charter jets and take all our tags. Without local guides they wouldn't be able to find their ass with both hands. I hope I don't sound like an old crumudgen, but the rich man's money is taking regular guys like me and my kids out of the hunting community.
+ wildernessoutfitters Do you tan your own furs? If so, could you do a vid series on that? If not, who do you use? Unless it's a local taxidermist.... thanks, Brother

I love the fact you mentioned the trash can and frame, that is what I use, great video, Thanks for taking the time to put great video's out.

I was smacked in the face the day I decided to put aside the steel setters. No permanent damage fortunately. Be safe out there.
great info thanks for doing what you do keep it up.

I always like to put a fluorescent cord on my trap safety because I've came back to check my trap and forgotten to take it off
MB traps are the best in my opinion.Do you wax your traps?
Great info!
I love ur vids man ur probly my favorit youtuber . uve inspired me to become a better Smith . and I love all ur other videos keep it up man

How do set Victor double catch trap I bought one
Nice video..... wish you made a video about tanning skins from big and small games... I'm from Denmark and we make it likely in a other way
+ wildernessoutfitters Do you tan your own furs? If so, could you do a vid series on that? If not, who do you use? Unless it's a local taxidermist.... thanks, Brother
i thought the 110s were your favorite trap,
also i hate to admit it but i use the trap setters on the 110s ,these days i get sharp pains shooting through my hand if i try to do it by hand.
If im starving, im not checking any laws, regardless which state im in.
love this shit, catch my drift if you can lol
nice
come up here brother there is a bounty on bever
Hey Brother ready to trap . how bout you ? Thanks for sharing the know how .
The only trap I have ever seriously used was a live trap. Not a great option for a trapper. Far too large.
Mt dew!
