Welcome to the North East Trapper channel. Trapping is one of the earliest ways of life and hobbies out there. A lot of what we know about trapping technique now has been passed down from our ancestors; Everything from original pit traps, snares, capture nets, to standard footholds. Trapping has come a long way since 1800s. The art of trapping has evolved with time. Keeping up to date on new styles and set construction as well as baits and lures is vital. So be sure to Subscribe and like this page...I'm hoping to share what I've learned from decades of trapping in the Northeast United States and now out west with all of you. Of course no one person knows it all, so I encourage all of you to post comments in the videos as well as on the discussion page to help me and others with any problems or concerns they are having.
21:55 maybe he swam up to the trap and for some reason tried to stop and turn around and put his foot through the trap and set it off?? Edit: after I posted this and hit play again you said the same thing I posted lol
Nice work! I appreciate all the conversation and explanation of a few of the sets. I always enjoy seeing how other trappers do their sets and why. Keep the content coming!
Ah, the joys of being a female trapper in hard or rocky ground. Can't set traps by hand, and hard to get stakes in. I was taught to use 4 rebar rods to steady a 330, but then someone came up with those stake things that you put the bottom jaws on and they keep the trap upright and in place. I think KB stabilizers? They work great on rocky bottoms. And yes, I have that same calk gun looking setter too. Oh, and I use a sled to haul traps in and critters out. I have gotten too fat for any waders sized for women, same with hip boots. And my boots I have are leaking lol. Rocky bottoms also necessitate cement blocks and rock cubbies.
I’ve got black walnuts around my house I soak the hulls in a bucket of water. it’s as black as night, free and obviously more natural smelling than paint and thinner
Is there a market for the carcass when you're done skinning. Can you use it for bait or will they not cannibalize. You sure are knocking them down nice work.
I know they gotta go but that one sitting up is like the last indian of a tribe that's his family tribe. Down size take care of your own. A whole pack doesn't deserve to die. Life has value to me.
Great job!! Hammering the coyotes. I had an uncle who lived in Russell Ks. Went out there 2 times a yr bird hunting. Always wanted to trap it. Do u use a sent post set? If u do, could u show how you do it? Merry Christmas.
Do you have to remake most of your sets after a rain like that? Would think the soil would wash in under most of your trap pans. Keep at it buddy loving the vids hope you reach your goal.
Sometimes I do sometimes I don’t it depends on what the set looks like but most of the time I just sift dry dirt over the top of it my dogs on my traps are filed down so that they drop it delete it the least amount of pressure
How do you keep track of all the sets? I always enjoy watching how calm cattle are around a trapped coyote. Had a herd of 90 cows grazing around a bouncing yote one time. Had to ease one out of the way to dispatch
