Good stuff! I'm getting caught up on some of your videos. I wish this series was in a playlist, but I will sort it out. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
If you get any of the old double springs that you use for woofs take some springs off some traps jam up in springs if the woof traps. Makes them alot faster more holding power. I tack weld them in. Even a number two helps
Thanks for watching! I’ve started a bit late this year but I still have a couple months left so it’ll be a good season. Any winter that’s spent in the woods is a good season. I checked out your channel, you have talking to the camera down really well. I still need more practice. Have a good one
Hey thanks bro! Started a bit late but I made 3 catches so far, that video is almost finished I hope I can get it up tonight. How are you and your family doing?
@@enigmaticgwichin1630 Awesome man can't wait for that vid! And yes sir family is doing well. Just got back home a couple days ago. Need to set some traps myself!
@@southernrootsalaskanbranches7 good good, are there any lynx in your area? With some lure and a few of those snares you put up for rabbit lynx can be a fun animal to trap
@@enigmaticgwichin1630 there is generally! But it's like there nomadic . There here then gone for a week or two. Im gonna be looking tho! Also quite a bit of traffic back there so I can't set places I'd like too. We'll see! I need help and luck! 😅
@@southernrootsalaskanbranches7 if you know there will be lynx around at some point in time you don’t need to set on sign you just build the set hang a attractor high up and use some car lure. I think I’ll make a quick video on a Lynx set the next time I got out here in a couple days.
Awesome! Welcome to the channel. Thanks still have a bunch of different sets to go over. I’m almost done editing episode 2, I made a couple catches, can’t wait for everybody to see it
Hi welcome to the channel! Sorry I didn’t respond earlier somehow missed your comment. I’m glad you’ve picked up a couple tricks. A lot of different people taught me so I’m happy to pass it along. I hope you enjoy. Have a good one
I also just found this channel. Fantastic. I’ve also got a channel and take students out to my trapline in Northern BC and target the same critters. You now have one more sun 😁
Thanks for watching! Wow you’ve got some great catches on your channel. So cool your taking kids out on the Trapline, my daughter comes along with me when she want to. A few of her friends I know will be interested in outdoor stuff in the next few years as they get old enough to handle the temps. Just subscribed to your channel👍
@@enigmaticgwichin1630 thanks. It’s great taking kids out. I’ll have a bunch going out today so hopefully something more than just squirrels in the traps 😂
@@deadpinecollective good good, I hope you guys catch something. Definitely helps with morale to connect with something when taking kids out on the line.
Thanks! I was worried I talked a bit to much, the unedited video from my GoPro was around 25 minutes long, but part of what I cut out will turn into another video on how to build a wolf set. 👍
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I just subbed your channel as well, so cool to see how other trappers run their line, I’ll have a couple instructional videos on different sets as I put my line in. Have a good one👍
Awesome! Welcome and thanks for watching. I check these traps and more today. Prolly take a day or two to edit the video. Can’t wait to see what’s out there.
Awesome channel look forward to seeing more!!! I live in Washington state and run traps on the Colville Indian Rez! I’ll sub and give you a shout out brother ✊🏽
Thanks for watching. I just checked those traps and made a couple catches. I’ll put the video up in a couple days when I have a chance to edit the raw footage
@@enigmaticgwichin1630 I hope a snotty little kid will end up in one of your neck snares or bear traps. However watching some of your other content you have no soul, you would just skin that little fella too. After you choke him to death of course. You coward.
I guess the loop depends on the size of the opening of the choke point where I set snares. But 20-24” loop if in the open. 15-16 in off the ground, to the bottom of the loop. I used to set higher but I had a few wolves slip under the snare. Seems they walk with theirs heads fairly low. Thanks for watching!
@@mjherron1901 yeah ive caught 3 over the years. Now the different packs around here avoid those wolverine cubbies. Ive caught a few wolves because they go so fat out of the way i can put set in to take advantage
Awesome! Good content, I like the three hole set up for wolves, going to give it a try! Awesome to see how other fellow trappers run their line, always learning something new! Thanks for sharing my fellow trapper! Can’t wait for the next episode! Good luck on the line!:)
Thanks for watching! I hope that set works well for you. Works best in deep snow or in an area thick with willows or grass. Yeah it’s so awesome watching others put out traps. There is such a wealth of knowledge being put up online. Just got done filming episode 3 no catches but I put together a couple sets to show everybody. 👍
I think I’ve only had to file and adjust a couple of my 330s most of them fire fairly lightly. But I don’t want them to be to light of a trigger, I did that once and I actually caught a gray jay, I also have owls that go into my cubbies and if the 330 has a hair trigger they can get caught as well. Thanks for looking out though and for watching, have a great day👍
@@enigmaticgwichin1630 fileing dog doesn't make a hair trigger. Just opposite. Makes a good crisp lock. Dogs are nass produced stamped. Triggers should get released just past 2nd jaw. Watch some videos on how 2 do it correctly
@@kencaudle7802 I had one that had a stif trigger and a Lynx crawled all the way in and got suitcased. It didn’t suffer but it was able to slide pass the stiff trigger and got caught square across the chest. You could see by the tracks it just curled up and didn’t roll around while it died. By the time I have my whole line in I’ll have at least 16+ 330 wolverine sets in and in the last 3 seasons and I’ve caught more than 15 wolverine without a single refusal and never found a wolverine alive or damaged fur from the trap.I stake the 330s down well enough I would be able to see if the animal suffered and is something I’ve worked hard to avoid. A few have damage to the skin from fighting other animals. Thanks for the advice though, If I ever have a problem with a 330 I’ll make sure to work over the trap👍
Hi! When you say stopping others from traveling your trap line do you own the land? Or does a registered trap line give you the only authority to be on it during trapping season? Just came across your videos and subscribed. I'm number 400 subscriber 😆
Hello. here all of our tribal members own the land together. The lower the traffic on that part of the Trapline the better catch numbers I put up. If somebody is hunting they can move my snare and I don’t mind, having it there also reminds people that there are more traps ahead and to be careful. A 140 lbs wolf in a trap is quite dangerous especially if a trail rider does not know there are traps down that trail. So cool thanks for the sub! I just checked some of those traps and will have another video up in a few days👍
Yeah it gets a bit dark here, the unedited video was over 40 minutes long but I was worried that viewers would get bored with me explaining and showing all the work it takes to put everything together, thanks for watching
Mostly bridger #5s. I have a few from an old friend that are different, victor and others, but the most are bridgers just because they are the ones that are sold here in northern alaska. There are others but none for under 40$ a piece.
@@enigmaticgwichin1630 that's why I was asking, bridger is the only big longsprings a guy can still buy new so I wanted to know how well they hold up to a wolf
@@Northwoods208 yeah wolves can tear off the dog and pan if left long enough in the trap. And I had one trap last season with just one claw left in the trap. But as long as they have a decent cable or chain tiring them off and you get a solid catch they hold great. From 140-80 pound wolves I’ve caught with that trap, I’ve also had a couple wolves held with this trap by one toe
I think trapping starts to be unethical when you target small animals with oversized traps and large animals with very undersized traps. At different times in history different methods were considered normal. Thanks for asking👍
AWESOME JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AND GONNA BINGE ALL YOUR VIDS FOR NEXT FEW DAYS YAY

8:44 that’s such a perfect place for a trail set
I actually caught a weasel in that wolf trap. He burrowed up from under the trap and somehow set it off. Thanks for watching👍
Hey, Mountain Life sent me over. Gonna have fun watching your channel. Cheers!
Awesome! Welcome aboard. Just got back from checking traps the next video is gunna be good 👍
Great video and I've got a lot of catching up to do. Keep cranking out those videos. Later and all the best.
Thanks. This is the second season that I’ve been filming. There are a few shorter episodes from 2022 season
Hitting the trees too cover my tracks,idk how I never thought of that but love it. 🤘
Thanks! Use every little trick you can, there are some smart critters out there

On your 330s make sure to file dogs flat and edge at 45 degree angles so trap releases jaws. Dont get catch 2 far back let them suffer

But I don’t want them to be to light of a trigger, I did that once and I actually caught a gray jay, I also have owls that go into my cubbies and if the 330 has a hair trigger they can get caught as well.
