That's a Cool looking set!! It's a shame we have a 24 hrs check for live sets here. With the weather this year any flowing water is still open. Thanks for sharing Dave!!
Alaska manning #9 is a great wolf trap as well as the koro wolf trap nearly indestructible.. MB750 and bridgers are not as good by comparison...but still do the job. I'd use a good cold weather call lure nearby and wolf urine on the hide scent post .....smart to have the approaching wolves on the level side of the bank ..most canines dislike approaching anything from the steep side and prefer a shallow water approach.
Trapping World Interesting set I lived in Alaska for years and the vast number of traps used just amazed me! Years ago there was a case where a hiker had released and destroyed all the set in an area. She got the book dropped on her fines and jail time. Is that an issue up there, in Manitoba? Never met an unfriendly character from that area just great nurtured people!
Wow great idea and where did you hear about it or did you invent or create this on your own? I’m creative and inventive also and think most trappers are of this mindset.
Not really sure if I saw this set somewhere but I have used it for 30 years now on and off. Probably saw it somewhere cause very few things we can try that have not been used before.
Trapping World yeah I would’ve never thought to use a water set for wolves. Inexperienced in trapping both coyote and wolves which is why it is important to think outside the box. I only caught 1 coyote with mange thirty-four years ago. Took a thirty year hiatus from trapping. Been addicted to cold smoking mackerel and pickling mackerel, herring,wild game meat in raw organic cow milk kefir. I make my own kefir also. I know I want to go to northern Canada and Alaska some day as well as visit Greenland. I eat everything I trap but do not go after canines. I hope to cable trap a black bear this year here in Maine. Love bear meat and think otter tastes better than anything I ever eaten for game meat. I’m trapping for beaver now and eating the meat. Great videos you have!!
I don't think that the hide of an animal is considered as bait I think it is considered as a visual attracted bait means something that they are actually going to eat check with your trapping State and see what their definition of bait is but I don't believe that hair and Hyde are going to be under the same category as bait meet would be considered as bait but I don't think hair and skin would be considered as bait just like here where I live in Northeast Iowa Corn is considered as bait for raccoons but corn stalks and corn cobs are not considered as bait they do not eat those parts just like wolves do not eat hair and skin they eat the entrails the organs and the meat that might be a technicality that gets you to be able to use this set wording is everything read how they word the law of what is considered bait and then determine from there on what is the going was not good luck
@@jeremyfrancoisthemaddtrapp7538 by our states laws, any part from an animal you can hold between two fingers is bait (meaning any solid part of an animal other than bleached bones)
Conibears are not allowed for wolves here and I doubt it would be very humane if one did get caught. Plus that is a lot of steel to hide from a wolfs nose.
May I ask about key ingredients in your wolf paste? I'm also curious about the dimensions of your marten nesting boxes (where females raise young). Perhaps a video?
+rr bernhardt Hey there.... sorry I missed this question somehow. The wolf paste is a mixture of beaver and bear meat ground up and put in a jar to rot. I place a weighted piece of glass over the jar to allow some gasses to escape and leave it for a couple of months. When I need to use it I scoop some into a smaller plastic container, add some beaver castor and rendered down bear fat to stop freezing and that is my wolf scent.
+Living in northern manitoba That is funny....I hope you don't mean the picture they had of him after he got shot. That was a ugly picture there buddy.
Very interesting, I never though something like this would work but now I know it does.

A fine set! Hope we get to see a connection from it!
love it! i'm in sudbury there are tons of places just like that with open water--even at -30
Outstanding! I wish that I was there to help you.
that is for sure a interesting set Dave
I wish wolf trapping would be legal here as well :)
Great looking set. Never seen a water set for k9s
Nice set Dave. Look forward to seeing a few caught on it. Good luck.
Sweet thanks
Excellent set!

I use this set for fox,but I put a piece of moss on the pan above water so they use it as a place to step to keep their feet dry...whamo

@Dr. Mac I found it in an old book..They called it the spring set...It was set in a natural spring so it didnt freeze till late season
Dave that's a great video.
Great looking set!
Good luck with that set Dave. Looks like a winner to me. Later

Great videos you have!!
I know wolves are smart so have you ever had them go around your set
Nice set but I can't do that here in Idaho we have to set our traps 32ft away from any bait that is visible

I wonder if a you could set some rancid meat beneath a conibear trap and get a wolf to stick his head in the trap? That would be cool.
Conibears are not allowed for wolves here and I doubt it would be very humane if one did get caught. Plus that is a lot of steel to hide from a wolfs nose.
This set ever catch anything?
Thats pretty cool alright.
Do you add castor, urine, or other scent to the hide?
+rr bernhardt I add my wolf paste to the top of the hide as a long distance attractant.

+rr bernhardt I will do a video when I make some more scent and some marten nesting boxes.
+Trapping World Thank you! I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your advice.
Dave would that work for coyotes too
+Chad Campbell I don't see why not.
I have a question What did u mount the leg holds to
They are attached to heavy drag hooks with eight feet of chain.
ares are 24 hrs in the united states in NY
is it legal to booby trap whole creek this way.
The whole creek is not booby trapped bu yes this set is legal.
You look like Albert Johnson
+Living in northern manitoba That is funny....I hope you don't mean the picture they had of him after he got shot. That was a ugly picture there buddy.
In my country that's crime action and You can get sentence and go to jail for that..
Maybe you should move then.
Nope when he was alive
trap # ? im mb 650 trap
+Luca Zenoni Thew traps I am using here are the MB 750's
You shouldn't kill wolves
