Why is Trapper J breathing hard ? Well, let me tell ya. He's trappin. it's cold, he's climbing up and down hills wearing 20 pound waders, Setting 330's without a setters (something even I can't do.) He;s standing in ice cold water that exerts 800 times the force on his body that air does, then he has to pack out 100 pounds of beaver without a pack, all while filming. Lesser men would collapse and die.
It blows my mind watching him set 330's bare handed, breaking ice, and sticking his arms in up to the elbows in water that cold. That pond has more beaver than a baby shower.
Well done sir. There’s definitely no shortage of beavers in there. I trapped for years and it sucked setting those connibears when I forgot my setters and you are making it look easy with frozen hands. Hats off to you 👊.
My favorite line? "Not That I'm A Pussy Or Anything..." Dude you crack me up. Watching your videos makes me wish I had a pond on my property so I could trap beaver. Your content is so freaking good.
Trapper J I’d definitely say that was definitely a good catch day especially since you was kinda in a hurry trying to set traps before it got dark on you last night!!! Five beavers is definitely way better than none for sure!!! Oh it brings me back to when I used to trap beavers!!! So much fun for sure!!! At least I enjoyed it!!! I remember my biggest beaver I ever caught throwing him over my shoulders not even really looking at how big he was or anything until I climbed up and out of a Creek and over a railroad track and I dropped!! The weight of him caught up to me and after dropping I finally figured out why it was so hard carrying him out!!! He was definitely a tank!!! But I’d definitely do it again for sure!!! Awesome video buddy and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!!
On your drowner set where the beaver almost pulled out: I had one do that to me this fall. I went back and reset that property. Checking tomorrow and hoping I’ll have a couple. I’ve trapped this stream 2 other times, and I can’t seem to catch them here.
Good video's and good catch on the beavers. I've been trapping since the early 90's. People don't understand how much work and the physically part of trapping beavers or trapping in general. Keep up the good work brother
Wouldn't hurt to put out some baited 330s where the beavers are traveling in the deeper water with the thicker ice. Seeing as though they are probably hungry being locked up and no feed piles.
I can set Duke, bridger, or victor 330's by hand, I use setters on those belisle's, they're stout AF and the shorter springs don't give a guy much leverage lol
Trapper J “Wish I had my setters, not that I’m a pussy or anything” meanwhile he’s elbow deep in freezing water while pinching a frozen metal clamp in his bare hands. Lol, ain’t nobody thinking that.
You know...I hope the ANTI's would see this video. All the damage that's been done from no doubt way over population. They say, " O the beaver is such an important part of the ecosystem "! NO....Us TRAPPERS are one of the most important parts of the balance of the ecosystem!! Awesome job J. Be safe
I had one get me when I was setting to catch a ground hog that was digging under the garage slab... could probably hear me swearing a mile away! No broken bones but that hand was technicolor with bruises! Friend was there and he opened it up so I could get my hand out. I helped him trap, I had 3 miles of county dredge ditch the beavers were damming up. Had 6 dams in that stretch! We took out the groundhog and 12 beavers that fall. Ground hog went on the smoker, tasty little critters!
Hey trapper j got a question , I have 80 acres mainly crp pollinator fields and about 26 acres of woods. Trying take out some coyote. They seem pass through every 4-5 days . Have creek running through farm with a river along north side. Traps being blown with possums and coons. Still a catch , I use mt. Man bait and hell fire anything else I can draw coyotes in with. Have fox, bobcat , and coyote urine I spray on also. Even my sign post sets are catching more coons than anything
gotta clean out the crap before you get the good stuff. keep remaking and eventually you'll thin down the little critters and the coyotes will get there first
I trapped beaver with my oldest brother Gary for 45 years, and neither of us do any trapping anymore, no more because of the money for the fur, plus we are over the hill in age.

J being your gloves & setters next check !! Nice job trapper j!!!

Hahahaha..at 15:18 "not that I'm a pussy or anything" . I'd like to know when the last time someone called him a pussy to his face and meant it 🙂
Plus the cold weather takes away ur breath way earlier than the warm
@Stryder Shadow My hands hurt just watching him squeeze those traps knowing how cold that water, metal and air is.
I appreciate your strength and patience and sharing. I love watching it reminds me of my youth.
A cocktail between turning the camera on is always a great idea. 😆 🤣 😂
Wow that is a lot of beaver sign, on the good side, Shure have a lot of good fire wood
Wonder there's any trees left. Flat tails are making a hell of a mess. Nice catch J guy can't complain.
Well done sir. There’s definitely no shortage of beavers in there. I trapped for years and it sucked setting those connibears when I forgot my setters and you are making it look easy with frozen hands. Hats off to you 👊.
I had one snap back and get my hand... trust me, the swearing could be heard a mile away!
Can't wait to see if u set snares and catch any beaver in them.. that place is a beaver trappers paradise
that place is ate up with beaver ..you are likely going to get a bunch more .5 the first check is awesome .great job J see you on the next one
I enjoy your explaining what your looking for, and where you set the traps and why. It is interesting to watch these video's
Good evening from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures

I'm in southern missouri, no ice to speak of!
Always a pleasure watching!
I love it when your catchin!

Looks like a bit of a hot spot! Don't forget your setters next time lol.
Killing it J!!! Awesome job and awesome content! Thank you!
Great first check. Setting traps with cold hands is rough.
Hell yeah that's a awesome spot.
👊💀🍻🇺🇲🍻🏴☠️🍻
The large pair of kenipix 16" + would make short work of resetting those springs.
Nice catches.
Wouldn't hurt to put out some baited 330s where the beavers are traveling in the deeper water with the thicker ice. Seeing as though they are probably hungry being locked up and no feed piles.
Spooky when it gets dark. 👻
now you got some more beaver castor and cubby bait for flairs
Really nice catches.
Let's get it!! Whats up J? Hope all of well. Keep the awesome content coming.
Well done!
Man, you got balls of steel walking out there.
Great first check!!
Hell yeah I’ve been waiting for these
What a man’s man. Incredible
If you’re ever in Oregon hit me up for a fishing trip
Thanks for another great video bud

Awesome. Keep on keeping on

Awesome stuff j !
What do I think of it? I love it.
5 beaver over night not bad
Connibear setters are a godsend.
We kill shot here 👍🏻👍🏻‼️‼️‼️‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love the vid’s keep it up
Got a 60lb er in Ky in 2012. Crazy times. Like 14 total.
Man’ there is nothing like trapping!
I think you left one safety on at the first reset.
Nice first check J. Give up on the yellow gloves?
Excellent!!!
Your trapping reminds me of my uncle.
Is he smart or like me 😂
You ever get your hand in a 330? Can't imagine how bad that would hurt, especially after your hands get cold from checking and reseting.

When there is that much ice you almost have to set 330's on bank dens.
Keep up the killing!

Hey and how are you
👍🏻😎
Gin and Tonic.
Just curious as to why you don’t use trap setters on those 330s?
Because I forgot them at home
Bank dens is where they live.
Total BA!
"beautiful beaver" sounds like a beautiful poop
no raccoon sets? what about bobcat sets around that pond?
Do you see where potawatomi county is putting a bounty on beavers paying $25 a beaver
Council bluffs iowa!
?
@@TrapperJOutdoors yes
I trapped beaver with my oldest brother Gary for 45 years, and neither of us do any trapping anymore, no more because of the money for the fur, plus we are over the hill in age.
:)
Why don’t you put traps at the base of the trees that they are eating on?
Beaver can stay under water for 45 minutes.
I make that tail chicharon
You know if you don't put your hand in ice cold creek water they will not get cold .Buy some gloves
Jay remember too man you didn’t put any castor on your castor mounds you put coon lure on them mounds
Ya but beaver like anise
@@TrapperJOutdoors true I was just reminding ya didn’t know if you remembered you’d forgot your castor food lure that day lol
Not that I'm a pussy. MAGIC
