    I like the 330 cubby set, but just curious why you would set the dog on the second notch instead of the first? That makes for a pretty stiff trigger to fire the trap. Are you trying to prevent incidental bird or marten catches?
    Great videos! I'm planning a trapping trip to AK this next fall.

    • @enigmaticgwichin1630
      @enigmaticgwichin1630  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for writing. Most of the time my notch selection has to do with the pole I set on top of. So a bigger pole the wider I need the jaws to be to sit firmly. I also try not to catch marten and owls in my 330s. So if I had to choose I would go with the stiffer trigger. Very cool where do you plan on going here in Alaska?

    Some beautiful mittens you have. Did your wife trim the moose hair a bit or leave it full length? We have a full tanned moose hide on the banister with all the fur still on it. Maybe I can talk her into making me a pair. They sure look nice.

    • @enigmaticgwichin1630
      @enigmaticgwichin1630  Рік тому

      Yeah they are a great pair of mitts. I forgot to say that the fur on my gloves is Beaver fur. Oh man a tanned moose skin without any hair can cost as much as 3,400$. It’s gotten really spendy. That’s awesome to have the full skin with the hair on it. I’d like to do that someday

    Starting to look like spring time up there, we have the same thing going on, I'm slowly starting to put out some beaver sets as some of the faster water opens up. Can't say I've ever had a marten in a 330, I have caught them in a #4 long spring. They changed our rules a few years ago, so now I can't have a 330 on land anywhere near bait or scent. We can still make baited 220 sets but they have to be inside a box or bucket... apparently it's too much to ask of people to watch their dogs 🤷‍♂️

Actually I caught a gray jay in one not to long ago. Now that was crazy to see. Man people just don’t want to be responsible for their dogs it’s a problem up here as well. Have a good one dude!

    • @enigmaticgwichin1630
      @enigmaticgwichin1630  Рік тому

      Thanks! I’ve caught a wolverine, Lynx, and gray jay in FPS so far. The jaws close with no gap and they fire reliably. The springs are a bit lighter, trigger wires are a bit thinner and the lock on the spring is cheap. But for me I can get 3 of them landed here in Venetie Alaska for 75$. Which is great, even in the closest city the cheapest I can get 330s are 28$ not including me carrying them around driving them to the airport and paying anywhere between 50 cents a pound to almost 2 dollars a pound for freight. So I expect the FPS to be a bit on the lower quality side only because of the price. But I trust them to fire and they have already proven to work for me. Thanks for asking 👍
