Primitive Trapping in Alaska "Marten Deadfall"

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I have always wanted to try these primitive ways of trapping. It took many different types of triggers to figure out which works best. Once I figured out the trigger mechanism, I started catching Marten.
If it does not work the first time and you keep losing bait, try something else. Make it better.
One thing I did not mention in this video is setting some Spruce Boughs over the bait on top of the top post above your bait stick. Help's keep the birds off your bait.

    Alaska Trappers Association ran an article about how to make this trap in their March 2021 edition of the Alaska Trapper magazine. It's a good trap. Well done. Peace to you from Delta Junction. Postscript... I see now that your wife Sonia wrote the article. It was well written.

    Thank you! I sent the photo in for pictures from the trap line and received a call about writing an article and a little bit about how I construct them. Thought that was pretty neat. Since my wife had written several children books she was very excited to write the article. She did need some pointers on trapper lingo though!! Lol

    Порекло ове клопке за хватање куна је Сибир, назива се "Кољамовка"! Наиме, извесни ловац Коља је по Сибиру ловио куне и тај човек је осмислио ову клопку, пре 300, можда и целих 400 година!!! Тамо је и данас актуелна, ловци кажу да је изузетно ефикасна, јефтина, изгради се за око 2 сата, траје годинама!!! Бољу и ефикаснију ловци нису створили, кажу да нема потребе, а лично сматрам да немају идеју, односно да им је функција мозга у паду 😊 !!! Запитајте се ви са Аљаске каква је мождана ситуација у вашим главама када сте ово малочас увезли 😂😂😂

    Really cool to see this old method to catch Martin also if you put this out about halfway around a really long trap line it could be an emergency shelter if you carry the tarp with you.

    Good Video, enjoyed watching. I can see the benefit of this set that you don't need to carry it into the woods every year and secondly nobody is going to steal it. Make it once and use it a lifetime. Nice.

    @@alaskahuntfishtrapadventures I didn't see it but I don't get that publication. Last year was the first year I actually got out and did some trapping in nearly 20 years. I used to trap long lines in the 70's through the year 1998, I started building a big home that year and well between depressed fur prices, high cost of gas and just getting older I never got back to it.

    Also you might want to drill a hole in each piece of your trigger and tie a string to them so you can recover your trigger after the set has trapped a marten

    I do believe that once you see the trigger system the Russians use that you'll probably like them better if I ever get to Alaska and get to trap I'm going to use them I think they will work better because the dead falls that you use a natural and so the martens won't be so hesitant to go into the trap just my opinion lol

    Hello. I'm from Russia! We call this trap a "kulemka".This is a simple and lucrative way to catch martens, sables in Siberia. I would advise not to make this trap on coniferous trees, as resin is released from the tree trunk and can stain the skin. The film "Happy People" shows in detail the installation of this trap.

    As far as I can see I have not had any problems with sap. Thanks so much for the heads up. I have been pretty successful with these builds. I have often dreamed of getting lost in Siberia in a small cabin trapping and hunting and fishing for the rest of my life.

    As a life long trapper I have caught marten I a similar trap. Along with knowledge of the natural world, trapping is great for both metal and physical health. Maybe if the nay sayers actually talked to a trapper they would see how people lived for centuries with few mental and physical issues.
