Tales of a Trapline Ep.1 - Beaver Trapping, Trail Clearing, Deer Hunting
Does it ever feel good to be back to filming the trapline series! This is the first installment of my 2022/2023 trapping series. I attempt to trap beaver as the river begins to freeze over. I also begin clearing the trail for our Marten loop and I'm keeping my eyes open for a deer to harvest. Things are starting to get wild!
Thank you to everyone who watches. God bless!

Good post! I love the bush in the winter. Not many people can handle the solitude but I love it.👍🏻
Hi ,have a great winter . Thankyou .
Nice cabin 👍
I love your little bird friend 😁❤
Here’s a tip trick for starting a stubborn quad. Take a 1 lb. propane bottle and a torch with you. When starting the quad and it is reluctant to fire, take the bottle with torch and spray some raw propane into the intake. The machine should now be easier to start.
Love the videos...like always, I'm jealous!
Nice. I'll be looking forward to episode 2.
Hope you have better luck with the squrels then you did with the beaver lol. you were just a weel or two late with the beavers, you will get them , we are sure. grate videos, we love the woods, and doing it write. good luck, stay safe.
Very top shelf bud, take no ill will from my deer hunt/critters for dinner comment you are great fun to watch and I hope you keep up the great work.
Happy to see you on the trap line again. I trapped for 15 years and I love being able to watch it from the comfort of my home some times. Hahaha
Of course it will start, its a Honda, I have one just like it with 9400 miles on it, when nothing else starts it does. Glad the season is back.
It's great to see you back Kush. Best of Luck. Greetings from Western Australia
Where are you based? It's nice to finally see a youtube video with a snowy november, too often my gardening videos have tips like "if it's too hot then put your garlic in the fridge before growing it" & I kind of need the opposite. You seem great. I love your genuine approach to speaking. You speak with an understanding not a script.
Love your videos
Awesome videos. Keep it up! Love watching them. So jealous!!!
Just subbed you! Keep making these videos! 💯💯👍🏻👍🏻
Nice cabin
Good to see you back Riley. Good luck this fall and winter

I wish there were more videos like this from you, both this content and the other channel. Love them both, keep doing what you do.
👍👍👍👍✌✌👌👌🙏🙏
Good to see you back on the line. Good luck this season!
Cool
Set some bottom edge sets for mink, it works better than any land set for them plus you'll get bonus muskrats. Beaver are the easiest animal to catch along with muskrats as long as you don't get stupid and educate them with overuse of castor and bad trap placement. Blind set them, especially under the ice in their trails. Good luck with your trapline!
Hope you have a successful trapping and hunting season Ryley. Would love to watch you process your catch just like your old trapping videos before.

You guys can hunt beavers? Nice, in Poland it's prohibited.

Great video - your quality of vids is top notch, as always. Can't wait for the marten line to be up - question...when you set the marten boxes will the traps be big enough to take down a fisher? Also, I can't remember but do you have any coyotes up in your area? That must have been tough to pass on that small buck! I mean, meat is meat LOL It's gonna be a great season for you
@KuskWild

We've successfully harvested fisher in the 110 traps we use for marten. We also set bigger traps for fisher too. We do have a few coyotes up here. Not a huge population due to the wolves but enough to make it worthwhile in setting coyote snares. As the season progresses I'll be more inclined to shoot a small buck like the one in this video. We have seen larger deer out here though so I'm trying to be patient. Thanks for watching!
Could you recommend a book on how to set a trapline?
Hey my brother....a couple questions lol. What model of GoPro you have and second do you always set you 330 triggers on the bottom?
@deadpinecollective
Жыл бұрын
It’s very common to set beaver traps with the trigger on the bottom, but when setting lynx cubbies/traps the trigger is at the top
@KuskWild
Жыл бұрын
The camera is a Sony CX-405. The trigger is set at the bottom so that when a beaver is trapped the trigger and/or dog hit the beaver on the underside. Less likely to damage the fur on top of the beaver which is what fur buyers value most. Thanks for watching!
@deadpinecollective

Also if the trigger is on the bottom it is often under the water and a little more “camouflaged”
What's up
You know, if you made a shed for 4 wheeler and covered it it would start up better.

I'm really interested in your bridge. What are the dimensions? Does it hold a quad or sled? Did you build it or purchase?
What kind of camera set up do you have?
Can you bait deer were your from? In New Brunswick we can i have a couple stands i bait .
Do the Beaver's see the traps?
Are those shoes you wear " Nick Boots " ? They look decent anyway to me.

Have the beavers stated a dam? or is the creak deep enough they won't bother?

Wolves and coyotes.
Hunting for meat that you consume is one thing, trapping is pure greed and has been since beaver trapping in the 1800s so that men could wear beaver hats. Trapping is a character flaw in today's world. I doubt you will wake up soon.

Ok... what about the main reason behind trapping and hunting? Is conservation a good enough reason or am I supposed to feel bad about harvesting animals no matter what? P.S. most animals are destined for far worse deaths than being shot or caught in a trap.
Good hunting
