Great video, brings back alot of good memories. I was raised on a mink ranch and my brother and I did alot of trapping in Wisconsin. Nice to see the next generation on the hunt. If you have any kids yet show them the tricks of the trade if you can.
@@330Maniac It sounds like we have alot in common. It's great to hear you're spending some quality time with your daughters. They will have some great memories about traping with their Dad for the rest of there life. Thank you for your reply, Dave
I made some 330 sets and 220 sets but all I catch is sticks and a couple fish. What am I doing wrong not sure about Mo. trapping for beaver Thanks for the help.
+Rocky Roney What kind of sets are you making with them? I do occasionally catch a stick and a fish but you should be connecting on beaver if they are good sets
Great vidoe . Had a similer small house this fall the land owner and i figured 2 beaver and i pulled 10 in 5 nights with 2 traps .the back waters was only about 75' X 100'had to be bank dens further up river . On the bright side you do say head alot but head is good .
In Maine, Mud on the bank with sticks counts as a lodge. In northern Maine we can trap like you do. In southern Maine we have to stay 5 feet from a damn and 10 feet from where a lodge meets the water.
Can you show a video of you setting those Belisle 330's by hand and how to get the leverage? I don't see anyone else making it look as easy as you can set them.
Hy, I live in Quebec province and I see beaver holes on the ice on the ponds in the area. Can you confirm to me that they maintain these holes by crunching the ice with their teeths. If so, I am impressed. You see and live the real life, good luck.
I am a new trapper. What would be a key thing to look for in beaver trapping? Is 330 or 220 a better trap or a foot hold ? Thanks for another great video keep them coming !
honestly rodney 330 is the best conibear there is for beaver. I know some people have used 220s but they are to small for beaver. You might catch a few but you will educate more than you catch and it will be nearly impossible to get a 60+ pound beaver in one. Footholds are also a great trap for beaver. I recommend a #4 or TS 85 or a MB 750. each trap has its situation but I mostly use conibears or snares.
hey, 1 question, I think I know this, But why did you stake the freshly caught beaver in the water to cool off? Was it because, it is easier to skin, and to carry?
That's a real treat to see it go down like that! Great video man, I've watched it 5 times. I'm jealous, we don't get too many beaver around here in Pennsylvania. Keep them videos coming brother!
I do sell them for the pelts. They are considered a nuisance because they overpopulate and cut down all the vegetation other critters in the pond feed on. They also get a horrible disease when to many are in a pond and can transfer that disease through an open wound just by placing your hand in the pond water. I took 65 of the little biggest out of this small pond alone. The disease is called "tularhemia" not sure on the spelling but you can Google it and check it out. Thanks for watching!
+330 MaNiaC oh gosh sorry I thought this was the muskrat video lol. But this also applies to beaver except generally you will have 5 to 8 Beaver per pond and they are more destructive. Flooding Farm land and cutting dozens of trees down.
Great Video! You are lucky to have a buyer that is willing to take your beaver in the round in this market. I have been watching your videos for some time and have to ask how can you get away with using those wrist length gloves? I would have filled them with water on the first check!
Love watching your videos. Got a question for you. How do know how many beaver are in a house or pond. Also, have you ever tried a bait set for otter? I heard of putting a fish on the triggers? Anyway, keep the videos coming. I use your techniques a lot. Talk later eh....
+Dave Hendrick I can have a pretty good idea by looking at the size of the feed pile, Lodge, and amount of cutting the did. Also the height in which they cut the tress off at. I have heard of trying the baited otter set before myself but I've never tried it. I would give it a try sometime. Thanks for watching!
Sorry! I meant go in the water over your waders, or even over your head! Many beaver ponds here seem bottomless. I know there is a bottom, I'm just not willing to search too hard for it.
When I'm checking for beaver runs an use an ice chisel to locate them. Them when I do I will use the chisel to determine the depth to find out if the are deep or shallow.
Cool. You're videos have me fired up for beaver trapping! I've done a lot of failing at it under the ice, but I sure to love open water trapping them before freeze up and after ice out!
I love open water trapping also especially spring time. Under ice trapping can be very rewarding and gets easier as you spend more time doing it. You will catch on im sure of it!
+Jackson Williams For a few reasons. The fur to sell it and I eat the meat I get from them and they do a lot of damage to property and farmland and private lands. Thanks for watching!

As always I stop what I am doing and watch your videos. Learn a lot from every video. Keep doing them, please.

As usual great video. Just set up here in Manitoba yesterday. With all the rain we have had, everything is roadside until freeze-up. Rats open Friday.
First year trapping I had the same thing happen with a beaver. Went and set it over a bank den and had one swim right into it.
Was absolutely insane.

you are one heck of a beaver trappers. love your videos. keep them coming.
I was waiting for that beaver to come flying out under ur feet as soon as I saw the spot I new it was coming nice job on them beavers
I remember you posting the beaver catch earlier. Still crazy that it just happened as you stepped across the run. Good video.
Wow...great video! Thanks
+Trapper234 You're welcome pal!

Great video-loved it-especially the live catch!! Always enjoy these videos.
thank you and thanks for watching.!
lol one thing for sure u ain't scared of going thru ice! good vid man!!
+Christian Thério Sink or swim!! Lol
How much you getting for your beaver this year?
not good at all. I average 10 bucks on them.
i love these bel isle conis, for the money they're the best on the market.
Hy, I live in Quebec province and I see beaver holes on the ice on the ponds in the area. Can you confirm to me that they maintain these holes by crunching the ice with their teeths. If so, I am impressed. You see and live the real life, good luck.
They do not crunch the ice with their teeth. They use their body to break the ice open. Thank you for watching!
Great photage man... Thank you for sharing!!!

Thanks, interesting
nice to see a new video mun keep um coming.
Way to slay those flat tails buddy. Later and all the best.
awesome video I injoy watching I learn alot from your videos
GREAT VIDEO BROTHER TIGHT CHAINS GOD BLESS
I know in 2015 the market was hurting pretty bad, what are beaver worth in 2021? 🤔
About the same. Haven't been very good since early 2000s
That's a real treat to see it go down like that! Great video man, I've watched it 5 times. I'm jealous, we don't get too many beaver around here in Pennsylvania. Keep them videos coming brother!
+Pennsyltucky Trapper Thank pal!
@@330Maniac ...do u eat the beaver meat??
very nice... love the insta catch
Good catches Scotty! Guess the weather has been weird everywhere this year!
Great catches
I'm amazed how you can walk around on that ice without ice equipment of some sort. I would be on my a.. all the time.
Most trappers I know develope the trapper shuffle , to keep us from spending so much time on out backsides.
Great vid ! I had a question! Is it a duke 330 trap or 280 thanks
Any reason you do that? What do you do with them, just wondering? In a sense they destroy the lake. Do you consider them pests?
I do sell them for the pelts. They are considered a nuisance because they overpopulate and cut down all the vegetation other critters in the pond feed on.

Hmm interesting.. and the gov. and private sector pays for it?
Do people eat them or its considered like a rat? In a sense they are very clean animals.
hahaha I died when u said ull get whooped. but very nice beavers and videos

Lucky to get the catch on video. Very cool. Just curious, why do you call them blankets?
Blankets is a size of the Beaver hide once stretched and dried.
Sometimes I use setters, sometimes not depends on how close I can get the truck.
20:06 You can see water comeing out of it. Thats cool.
How do you know that you won't go to deep? Familiar with the ponds? Thanks for the great videos!
what do you mean go to deep? do you mean set the trap to deep or step in deep water over my waders?
Sorry! I meant go in the water over your waders, or even over your head! Many beaver ponds here seem bottomless. I know there is a bottom, I'm just not willing to search too hard for it.

That was neat
I think it'd be interesting to see you skin and get the meat from the beavers. Good video.
I do have a couple skinning videos. This spring I will try to do a processing video also
330 MaNiaC Cool man
cool vid
Guys Leave them Alone👎! Think IF thats WAS you you dont gotta be so happy🙁☹️
did someone share my video on a gaming website or something? all I've had the last two days are gamers commenting on my posts hahahahaha
nice
Why do you guys catch beavers? I assume it would be for the fur? Being Australian, I obviously haven't the first idea about beaver trapping! XD
+Jackson Williams For a few reasons. The fur to sell it and I eat the meat I get from them and they do a lot of damage to property and farmland and private lands. Thanks for watching!
Ah, ok! Thanks for the Intel! I look forward to future videos!
