Addie Lyons, there are a number of reasons. In this particular river the deep holes where fish live are few and far between. This particular land owner got hit especially hard on his only fishing hole because the otters were over populated in this area. A lot of dock owners have troubles with otters pooping on their dock all the time, and yes I do make as much use as I can from the animal. I sell the fur and harvest their glands to use in producing other trapping lures for various animals.
Great video! Found it very helpful!!! Noticed that you mentioned that you are from Missouri. Where are you located In Missouri? I live in the Ozarks as well (Springfield to be exact). How's your beaver season treating you this year so far? Weather has posed quite a challenge for me. Anyways good luck out on the line, and Happy Trapping!!!
Really nice video. Very instructive. I appreciate you taking the time to make it and share it. I see you use the 660 a lot. I bought one this past season to try out, but the dog needed work and the safetys are very soft and won't hold the springs shut, so I didn't use it this season. I'm going to work on it and use it next season. Do you have good results with your 660's? Hope you had a good season and thanks for a great vid!
First thanks for the input and for watching. I will tell you those 660s are a real game changer not only for otters but for trap shy beaver. I've found my refusals dropped to almost none when I started using the 660s over the 330s. I get better suitcased beavers with the 660s as well as less refusals from the exceptionally large ones. We make our own using 5/16 rod, so the cost factor isn't so bad, the ones you saw in the video I had less than 15 bucks each tied up in them cost wise. We're both buying a dozen 330s to make into just 660s for the next season.
I didn't video tape the entire setup just for the sole factor of how long it took to upload what we had, but we had roughly 2 miles of this creek set up and we produced 8 otters in 2 weeks out of that general area.
Great video! Found it very helpful!!! Noticed that you mentioned that you are in Missouri. What part of Missouri are you in? I live in the Ozarks (Springfield to be exact). How's your beaver season treating you this year? Weather has definitely posed a challenge for me. Anyways good luck and happy trapping!!!
my conibears are already like that from just over 24 hrs of thunder storms and heat and humidity i degreased them good but my footholds dont seem to wanna rust up as fast
Good video. Looks way too cold not to have gloves though. Made my hands cold to watch it. I trap MO also, nice little trick on the 330 in the shallow water.
Thanks for watching man! I used to work in the frozen food industry and handled food at temperatures below 0, so I don't even notice it anymore. My hands have gotten pretty tough.
hey man i see your a big tall big guy like me where did u find waders that fit your legs also im barrel chested and i wear size 13 boot and i bought a pair of hip boots for bow hunting swamps and they dont fit my thighs lol it sucks
You're welcome to your opinion. They were once endangered here in Mo also, but thanks to trappers they have been reintroduced and now are thriving to the point that they're a nuisance.
Jochem Witteveen not the same species of otter, north american river otters are plentiful in many parts of the united states to the point they need to be trapped to manage their population so that they stay cute and cuddly to the public and not a serious nuisance. same concept with most furbearing animals in north america. trapping also prevents serious disease outbreaks since when population densities become too high diseases such as distemper or rabies they can turn into epidemics wiping out local populations of animals
+Gavin Stedman Here in Alabama otter have become a terrible nuisance to fish pond owners. I get besieged annually by requests from pond/lake owners to help get rid of the otters. Otters have decimated the fish population in some lakes as to be almost nonexistent.
I wish I had your problem, otter are making a comeback in western upstate ny, they are doing great in the Adirondacks, we have the population for a trapping season but it will be probably another decade before there will be a season for them outside of the Adirondacks
Andrewsarchus Naturelover Primitive, perhaps. Barbaric, absolutely not! modern traps have come a long ways. the pelt serves the same purpose it always has. garments, etc... I'm able to take the surplus populations and bring money back to the American economy.
Andrewsarchus Naturelover fur is a renewable resource that, if managed properly, will be here until the end of days. No one is "exploiting" animal populations. We're simply managing a natural resource, and making use of the animal to the vest of our abilities. The government heavily regulates our natural resources to ensure over harvest doesn't happen.
I bet you buy all your food at the store you lazy whiny little bitch. I don't understand why snowflakes like you always have something to say over the internet about shit they know nothing about.
seriously..in this day and age its just such a piece of shit thing to do....there is such little wildlife left..i cant believe people still do this...it takes a certain kind of garbage to do this for fun....
That's a pretty uneducated thing to say. Why don't you explain to me why it's wrong? Do you think that in this day and age we should just let animals overpopulate?
I'm curious to know how much time you spend outdoors? I'm out here every day and the wildlife in Mo is thriving. In fact here trappers are the ones to thank for the presence of otters. We're the ones who caught them and relocated them here in this area. They now thrive to the point of being a nuisance. They're seen often in our lakes, streams and rivers. They clean the fish out of farm ponds. Next time educate yourself a little before making an ignorant statement such as "there is such little wildlife left".
john dover where do you live, wildlife is everywhere and most of it is right under your nose, you may not always see it because a lot of animals are nocturnal or just generally shy or sneaky, but where i live in upstate ny our wildlife is expanding rapidly, we just expanded the trapping area in ny for bobcat because they are doing so well, plans are in place for expanding fisher trapping in the next year or so, black bear hunting has expanded because their population is doing really good. otters were trapped during the 90's from the adirondacks with foothold traps and cage traps and released in western ny and are booming and we will probably expand the otter season into western ny within the next ten years. furbearing animals are a resource that trappers will fight to protect and conserve so that they will always be here
in all honestly, they're just like every other animal. their populations have to be controlled. these guys are really hard on the fish populations, especially in small rivers like this.
Enjoy your vids Bandit. Keep it up!!

Thanks man for the informative video! you helped me bag my first otter today!!
Mike Smith, hey man thanks for the comment. I love these success stories.
enjoyed your video very much thank you
Great catches guys! Videos are awesome!
Thank you very much! Thanks for watching!

Also, how do you like the Dunlaps Otter lure? I've always set blind sets for otter. Never used otter lure much. Is it your favorite?
trapsetting101 Awesome. Good know. Thanks and have a great evening!
keep up the good work
nice set ups bud.
awsome video! you do a great job teaching

We're in central Missouri. I'd rather not get any more specific than that for self preservation reasons. Thanks for watching!
Why do you trap otters? Is it for the fur?
I'm not mad or anything I just was wondering.
great video!
thanks for the feedback!
my conibears are already like that from just over 24 hrs of thunder storms and heat and humidity i degreased them good but my footholds dont seem to wanna rust up as fast
hey man how rusted do these new traps gotta be before i can dye? like decent surface rust or does every single spot needs to be?
decent surface rust is plenty
Good video. Looks way too cold not to have gloves though. Made my hands cold to watch it. I trap MO also, nice little trick on the 330 in the shallow water.

Класс!!! Какая приманка лучше всего??
Я использую приманку для выдры Данлэпа на своих наживках. Тем не менее, вы заметите, что я не использую много наживок для выдр.
Do you trap in Alabama?
No sir. I'm not against it, I just never have.
@@trapsetting101 where are you located?
@@germansmith3291 Missouri
So what's it cost to make your own 660s? Do you sell them?
Brad Neumann I do not sell them. I costs me roughly $2 to make those the way I do. There's a video on my channel that shows how to do it.
Very good then thank you! Love the video clips! Don't worry about the anti hunter they can such donkey balls!
FOOT HOLDS NOT LEG HOLD SORRY BUT NICE VIDEO
Thanks for the input. I appreciate you watching.
LOSER HUNTERS KILLING BEAVERS ONLY BECAUSE THEY LOVE TO KILL. THESE ARE NOT HUNTERS.
I don't like this!
In the Netherlands otters are endangered animal. And you killed them!!!! 😠
Dislike!!!!!!
You're welcome to your opinion. They were once endangered here in Mo also, but thanks to trappers they have been reintroduced and now are thriving to the point that they're a nuisance.

Sounds like yall need some trappers to hit the rats hard up there.
This industry is primitive and barbaric. What use is an otter pelt in the 21st century?
Andrewsarchus Naturelover Primitive, perhaps. Barbaric, absolutely not! modern traps have come a long ways. the pelt serves the same purpose it always has. garments, etc... I'm able to take the surplus populations and bring money back to the American economy.
It's unfair that humans keep exploiting animal populations as human numbers keep growing and growing. The pelt is only worn by fashion snobs.
Andrewsarchus Naturelover fur is a renewable resource that, if managed properly, will be here until the end of days. No one is "exploiting" animal populations. We're simply managing a natural resource, and making use of the animal to the vest of our abilities. The government heavily regulates our natural resources to ensure over harvest doesn't happen.

Y did u kill a otter
because their fur is soft and warm.
in all honestly, they're just like every other animal. their populations have to be controlled. these guys are really hard on the fish populations, especially in small rivers like this.
Do ISIS members trap and wear human skins?
