Another awesome video. I always wondered if a guy could attached a couple of sets to one drag instead of one drag per - good to know. Interesting about not sifting the snow and great strategies/techniques. I always enjoy your videos and keep up the great work!!
Snow trapping is so underrated. No beating the piss out of frozen ground, lugging treated dirt, or any extra equipment. Simplicity at its finest. Only issue I’ve ever had is the trail groomer dragging one of my traps for a few hundred yards 🤣
I'm a trapper in the Upper peninsula of Michigan. When you use the foam on the bottom how do you bed the traps so they're tight? I've been using the freezer bag trick it works ok. Love the channel man keep up the good work.
The best thing to use is biodegradable plastic bin bags ,small white bags,they come on a roll and are dirt cheap. They're very thin so hold the snow off trap but break to pieces as soon as trap fires . Never have to worry about the plastic either as its organic and turns into nothing. Foam is too thick and catches all the snow when trap fires causing toe catches .
Without securing the end, what keeps them from taking off with the trap. Just wondering. Im not a trapper. I saw you on mountain men and started following you.
Great Video Paul good luck on catching those wolves I hope you get a few. I think you will pick up 1 or 2 over those 3 traps with the beaver meat. Keep up the good work can’t wait to see next video.
That last set you made, will the wolves walk directly down the middle of the trail? I saw that you put guide sticks in. Just curious if they'd walk around that spot possibly and avoid the middle. Definitely admire your trapping passion.
Those are great sets for some smart cainies. I'm betting on the buried bait, they may be smart but the belly rules all and it could create some fighting over the morsels of food.
I wonder if you could use your foam pads under your wax sand to prevent the frost from coming up? It would be similar to using poly/vapor barrier under a concrete slab.
Put it in some sheep wool last longer you have to cover it some as the carp cops call wool a bait. I've every time had them tear it off I screw it down it will stop them on a dead run. That is what they eat not beaver
And another thing I would put traps on separate drags. If you get a toe catch they drag the trap over the others and spring um and pull out. Best to make um circle and get caught in more traps. Nothing worse than a educated pack. Not near as bad with big traps as with junk like ,750s
Good luck! The blind sets look great my friend!
Awesome stuff brother, I think you’re on to something with that buried bait set, looks like a great set to me 👍👍

Like the foam technique. I’m going to give that a try. Thank you.

Haha
As long as there is no freeze thaw
@@Professionalwoodsbum I generally will only set like this if the temps are going to consistently below 20 degrees F.
Nice looking sets, good luck 👍
Congrats on the Wolf Brother! Persistence pays off. I’m sure you’ll get another or so until close of the season. God Bless
Awesome video!

Put loose snow down before your foam. Bed the trap on that. The snow will bind up under the foam and stabilize the trap
@@montanawolftrapper8666 oh nice, thank you I'm doing that trick tomorrow.

So glad you were able to get a wolf hopefully a few more before the season ends
You should carry a 12-24” chunk of old snowmobile track to blend in your mafia set afterwards. Might work??
4:45 that drag you tossed behind the tree is going to hold a wolf, or did you bury that drag off camera?
Good luck! Hope your a busy man in next few days skinning!
good luck Paul all the set look really good let us know if you get one
14:24 how does that prevent the wolf from running away? I don't see anything being anchored in the ground.
I run drags in the winter. Yes they hold them or I wouldn’t use them
The drag will get caught on brush/trees as the animal runs away. Think of it as a fluke style boat anchor.
@@haasebrentahhhh ok 👍👍👍

@@mister-action1 there’s a drag that hooks on anything
If you used the foam under the wax sand do you think it would help prevent them from freezing up. Great video again Paul good luck
Great Video Paul good luck on catching those wolves I hope you get a few. I think you will pick up 1 or 2 over those 3 traps with the beaver meat. Keep up the good work can’t wait to see next video.
Could you use the wax paper under your treated sand?
I’ll try that

Definitely admire your trapping passion.
@@tomkeltescheverythingoutdo2379 yeah done the middle
that mafia set should clamp one . hopefully the wolves play along !
What kind of foam are you using? Pic
Great video
It’s in a role at Walmart in the shipping
Those are great sets for some smart cainies.

Are you the onlyone using that snowmobile trail? Just wondering if someone else uses that trail,won;t they set off your traps.

I thought about that
Hopefully the next time you check your traps, there will be some wolves. Liked how you reangle the camera sometimes.
That looks fun
Ever utilize the wolf carcass to catch other pack members?
Thanks for sharing your adventures
I did today
do you make your own drags
Those are home made they work awesome
Are those no bs traps
@@jasonteebo1437 yes
Every day is a work day! Even when it isn’t!!
Whats a Kelly Hump? Sorry, I really don't know.
@@section8outdoors mounded up dirt to keep vehicles off the road
@montanawolftrapper8666 Ok, I was curious if that was it. Thanks
A guy I watch trap from Canada makes his tail sets from his sled he pulls so he never steps foot on the ground.
We are about to get some snow. All my foot tracks will be covered before the wolves return
Whatever happened to kelsey and chloride and sand
@@tracymartin-ld1kn I don’t use calcium any more
If you put some cow in heat piss by um you could catch um
You think so?

@ well there ain’t no sheep for a hundred miles of me im guessing. Everything eats beaver.

@ the 750’s are junk
