Just wanted to say thanks for all the videos. I am new to trapping and have been self taught mainly from watching your videos on you tube. Keep up the good work and i look forward to watching more of your videos. I am from Michigan so a lot of your videos can relate to here. I did catch a 53 pound beaver the other day in a set i learned from watching your vids... Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Just a tip remove your belisle 330s as soon as you arrive and avoid picking beaver up by the trap if at all possible. Helps prevent bruising on the pelt side and guard hair damage. This will help you with producing the highest pelt quality. great video
Great video. I love beaver trapping. Just started here in Wisconsin on Nov. 5. Keep up the great trapping and hunting and outdoors videos. Man I wish I had your life.
@tullysika no hes around i dont bring him along too often wen i am setting and checking traps.i wouldent want him to get killed in a 330 its just not worth it he was back guarding my cabin.
Conibears work great, but sometimes you get a smart beaver that will trip them with a stick, then bury them in mud which can be a real bitch if the mud freezes. Then its time to start with snares.
Again, love the videos. What do you use to carry your gear into the ponds? Pack basket or just a bucket? Do you set on all runs or do you select certain ones? Man, wish we could pick your brain for all the information that is contained there. LOL. Keep them coming Bro.
great video, I will be out tomorow, got the bear skinned yesterday and have to wait for it to dry. i wish fal came a bit later here so i could trap on the land like that. We will be trapping under the ice.
my favorite quote! "out checkin some 330's in this fuckin shit hole. what a horrible fuckin swamp this is, I tell ya" watched most of your videos and you had me rollin laughing.
Some pretty nice sized ones. They are way paler than the ones I get. Some of those locations seem like a real hell hole for walking. are you toting the beaver far? I hope not. Where's Charlie and what's with the safety crossing guard vests? the season opens the 25 here. Getting antsy for it. Be safe and film what you can. Thanks.
@Makete100 the only gear i pack really is traps and a machete i rig my traps before is et em so its quick and easy dont really need much gear. i pick the well used runs to set on most my sets are baited so i can set em pretty much anywere. thanks for commenting
Do you set with triggers on bottom mostly? I find it harder and more dangerous to set with triggers on bottom.... its easier to set them on top but the fur gets damaged
@scottspook my cabin neighbour has xplorernet sattelite internet its too slow to upload. so i usually upload wen i come to town to resupply on fuel and hunt intown beaver ha ha peace man
Hey man happy to see you back in the game trapping. That's some nice beaver you picked up in first sets of traps, Listen I was just wondering as a Metis did you have to take the trapping course or are you exempt? And did you have to earn points to get a trapline area? Keep up the good work and keep posting videos. Oh how do you post videos when your in the bush, do you use cell service to do so? Take care and keep safe. - Kevin
i think a 220 would kill a smaller beaver without any issues, but the 330's are definitely worth the money. even if you where to get only one, if you made decent sets you could haul in a bunch of beavers in a season at a good swamp. What do you think Andrew??
Great catch guys!! Wish we had a few more beavers around here!! Looks like a good time catching them!! What's the story with the rifle?? Bears? Like the vid too!! Terry Bonehead Outdoors
@TheWildNorth You set with triggers on top for Beaver? I do too, some say it causes damage, I have yet to see it on mine. It don't scare them those triggers on top you think?
do these run sets work the best? ive been trying to make a cut out in their dams and putting a 330 in front of it, but they keep shoving sticks into my conibears, any tips or good sets i should try?
another great vid!!! what the hell kind of rat hole is that first location in the vid?? you two get caught up in there and we'll have to send the army after you.[ha] beautiful beaver in the conibears, and i agree with mushercdn that they are a bit light in color, but beautiful big animals...keep up the great work peace joe in northern ny
Awsome video buddy,fantastic beaver sets your a pro buddy,keep them comeing 5*****Stars as aways me and my brother set a few otter traps on weds be for i got my moose my little 2 point bull one shot i made right in the nick..........
@logcabinlooms The only time I ever have a problem with beavers burrying my traps, is when they are set too close to the dam and the dam is broke open. In alot of places in Canada we can't set a snare on land.
Yep reminds me earlier days, I haven't trap Beaver for prob 10 yrs. Coniber Laws on 330's even 220's really suck in Mn. Just Nuisance Beaver for Neighbors die. Yep Good Video. Snareing man that's what I have a Passion for !!!! :)
I see you only use wire to secure your trap, what guage? never had one break the wire and float away? I had one lost in a river as I was starting out trapping, I never secured it well and the river carried it downstream....it was lost.
I really have enjoyed watching all your videos and find myself waiting for the newest one. I have a question for you. It seems that alot of the canadian trappers are wearing some sort of chartruse,orange, or blue high vis clothing. What is the reason for it.? Do a lot of you work construction or is this just a coincidence?
@hippykdb i learned how to trap before they made the rule of first time trappers must take the course. i post videos wen i am in town to resupply on fuel e.t.c
@emmamae1100 yeah it was a shithole i was looking for a superblanket beaver there but it wasent worth the time to get to the location very thick woods lots of deadfall.
I wish I would have found your channel earlier. Oh well now I have something to keep me occupied for awhile. I loved this one and you are funnier than shit bro.
@stayingawake20 yeah im just waiting for some knives to come in a gentlemen makes them and hes sending me a couple i will skin a beaver using one of his knives he sent. its on my list of things to do swede man. peace brotha
they are getting rid of their wasted sticks. I f I were u I would put a 330 just a little downstream and 1 a little upstream that way when he comes out to get the sticks out he will either go up or downstream to get more trees to eat. Then u got him.
fuck man you are livin the dream.. down here in Saskatchewan the beavers are so smart that i only caught one beaver in the 330s and the rest i had to shoot, any Tips??
@TheWildNorth wow u replied to me...fuckin awesome love ur vids man keep em comin...just discovered ya..like to see more theres beavers by my house in oakville chomped down like 40 young saplings about 5 inches wide...like 20 of them.. planted by man.. keep er safe man...by the way...u live off the grid? how u have internet?

Wow, what a haul on big beavers. Very nice! Makes me want to dig out the 330s!
Just a tip remove your belisle 330s as soon as you arrive and avoid picking beaver up by the trap if at all possible. Helps prevent bruising on the pelt side and guard hair damage. This will help you with producing the highest pelt quality. great video
Hey man just wanted to let ya know your vids are bad ass. watched you trappin all last winter and am lookin forward to another good season.
You're killin me bro! Fine Job! 330's rule!! Rock on my Canadian Brother!

Great video. I love beaver trapping. Just started here in Wisconsin on Nov. 5. Keep up the great trapping and hunting and outdoors videos. Man I wish I had your life.
You are one hell of a trapper! Keep the great films comming! We enjoy them!
@tullysika depends on a alot of things usually around 15 or 20 for beaver and then the work preparing the pelts is what takes so much time
@tullysika no hes around i dont bring him along too often wen i am setting and checking traps.i wouldent want him to get killed in a 330 its just not worth it he was back guarding my cabin.

i agree with ya on the beaver method, ive used footholds and drowners but i like 330s and snares for em better
Do you set with triggers on bottom mostly?
I find it harder and more dangerous to set with triggers on bottom....

you can tell he sets them with triggers on top because the trigger is on the top of the neck which is where the top of the trap snaps down
@stayingawake20 thanks The Swede im happy you enjoyed it!
I see you only use wire to secure your trap, what guage?
never had one break the wire and float away?
I had one lost in a river as I was starting out trapping, I never secured it well and the river carried it downstream....it was lost.
do you bait your traps ? or you just find there trails and set them up there ?
what do you do with the skulls
how many bever do you generally get per year?
What's with the safety vest?
man looks like some good duck hunting places you got up there
Great job Andrew!! You need to come down to the lower 48 and show me how its done haha.
when you trap beaver do you scout the spot or do you just go into a spot and put traps down?
awesome videos ...your a great trapper and they are rare now daz ...love Charlie ...my boy

Awesome Andrew!!!
@SuperSnostorm i cought a couple close to 50 lbs
I enjoy your videos, they have made me to become a trapper. Would like to meet you.
dude u r a true canadian that th way to do it
@smallblockfuelie safety first! just ask cheney "i thought it was a bear' lol
U could get a smaller beaver in a 220 but if u can afford 280s u can still get some nice beaver.
whats the point of having beavers ? what are they used for ?
The Joker to sell the fur
And he eats the meat. As well as using the meat for bait stations and bait for lynx, wolverine and all kinds of other animals.
Nice vid once again!
Great video, thanks and take care.
I wish I would have found your channel earlier. Oh well now I have something to keep me occupied for awhile. I loved this one and you are funnier than shit bro.
Do you smoke the beaver meat like the moose meat?
That's good I'd hate to see you loose him.
Where's the beaver retriever? You haven't eaten I hope.
@stayingawake20 yeah im just waiting for some knives to come in a gentlemen makes them and hes sending me a couple i will skin a beaver using one of his knives he sent. its on my list of things to do swede man.

The only good beaver is a dead beaver. Thumbs up.

In your future videos, it would be great if you could include the length and weight of the animal. Thanks -BAG2
