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!

    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!

  • @KuskWild

    @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!

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!
