I really like the dog proof trap that you use I love the fact that you let him go if they're too small or they don't have good for that's being a real conservationist

Glad to see an upload from you! One of the best trapping channels! This was my 1st year trapping, people can definitely have success with limited traps. As you always say, set on sign!

Stu , everyone is good at something . I truly believe your calling is trapping , you may be the best trapper I have ever witnessed .

all the forums on fur handling i have read allways sent me to your fur handling videos ,outstanding instructional video series.

It’s true that more sets isn’t as effective then a well place trap. Thanks for the great videos you have made me grow immensely as a fur handler!

Thanks for sharing look forward to me and the hubby trying some of these pointers out

Always outstanding. I have copied your skinning machine, fleshing procedure and shared what I have learned with several others. It is great to keep learning,even at 76. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God Bless.

Great video, EVERYTHING he says is true, tried & tested!!! I often use 2.5-3" stainless self tapping screws with a 5/16" socket head, screw them to trees & roots & they will hold anything.. fast, easy & reliable just carry a small hammer drill..I have used Phillips head screws but they usually will strip & have to be cut to remove, the 5/16" head fixed that problem & I've had no failures in 2 years now.. thanks again Stu for your time & hard work 👍👏 you brought me a long long way in a short time!!!

I am a family man with 5 children, and fell in love with trapping as a kid, but it is hard to run a trap line with work and the kids sport and honey due list and so on. But I still love to trap and some yrs I might only put out a half dozen traps and I still produce some furs, so you're right, if ya love to trap, you will find the time, even with just a Couple traps. Ya don't need tons of traps to catch some furs. Keep up the great videos ✌️

Good line info . Especially for the “Dabbler”, or, the old pro who still wants some fur in a small area. Well done.

I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS! definitely improved my fleshing speed and put up quality after taking some tips from your vids

I really enjoy your videos. I’m a veteran trapper and out of all the other videos out there, I enjoy yours the most! Keep up the good videos.

Found you on Go Fish with Charlie Burrow. New subscriber. Have not had a chance to watch the entire video but looked like you guys caught some big ole Texas crappie judging by the pictures.

KZread needs to know that there are people out there that like these kinds of videos so just cause they don’t think it’s friendly to other people does mean that they should demonetize it what I always say “ if you don’t like it don’t watch it there is a thumbnail picture for a reason”

Thnxs for uploading and sharing this 👍🏻🇺🇸

awesome video. Love the idea.

Another good video bud! Thanks for sharing!

Exceptional content always had a rough day on the line this hit the spot

Love it keep it up.

First of all it is great to see you making videos again. Another great video from you thanks for sharing

Glad to see another video and congrats on hitting 50 thousand too..👍

This spoke to me and my situation. Thanks for making this video. I enjoy them all and have learned a lot from you. Keep it going.

Great videos and a lot of great information.

Great job keeping it simple and on point while encouraging an important principle - starting small to ensure success. Thanks!

nice catches

Great vid ! I’m getting back in the trapping after being out of it for 20 years ‘ i’ve enjoyed your videos immensely!

Love the videos👍🏻🤙🏻

Excellent!

Like the video. Your channel has a lot of knowledge for us guys just getting into trapping. Thanks for sharing.

Once again another good video. I know personally how it can wear on you after working long hours. We thank you for your hard work it will pay off for you. It's the love of the outdoors sports that sportsmen,women and children look forward in doing every year. We live to do what we know and was raised doing. It kept us out of trouble. To you keep doing what you love keep it real and people will always back you.👍

Nice video man its good that you are back! Thank you sooo much for your videos! Keep going, STAY HARD!!!💪🏻

really getting into your shows

Great video to bring in new recruits! When I was a newbie, your videos provided about 75% of the knowledge that I needed to get started on the right foot. I highly recommend CCO’s videos to any up and coming trappers. Keep up the great work, Stu!

Really enjoyed this video, I am one of those that always wanted to get into trapping, seen your videos and decided why not. I have exactly 8 traps (mixed dogproofs and legholds) and in the last three weeks caught 26 muskrats and 14 raccoons. Not huge numbers but I will tell you a lot of fun and I am so glad I have started my own trapline that I have dreamed about for years! Thanks again for all your knowledge and tips!

Great video Stu 👍! The rain sure has been a coming down a lot this season. Damned surprised we ain't floating away 😂. Have a good one buddy.

Excellent content

Great to see another video from you bud

I am a professional nuisance wild animal trapper. The concept is great for a beginner to watch. I would suggest that they look at beginner’s trapping kits at Minnesota Trapline Supply. They are good sets for a discounted price. Here is a statistical analysis based upon what this guy said. 5 traps x 7 nights = 35 trap check opportunities. 21 coon + 4 opossums + 2 skunks = 27 animals. 27 divided by 35 = 77%. A 77% catch rate is absolutely outstanding anywhere by anyone! No beginner is going to have that catch rate. That is by properly setting on sign at the absolute best locations. Plus, that catch rate cannot be maintained at even one great location for very long. This represents taking the cream off at a high population location where the animals are numerous and a nuisance. That catch rate will abruptly drop. Then it is time to quit or move to a new location with a new population of animals. Beginners need to understand proper trap anchoring to prevent an animal from escaping with a trap on it which will make all trappers look bad. Beginners need to have a realistic catch expectation. They are beginners not being able to read a situation and instantly know exactly where to set and how securely to anchor a trap. They also need to know how to safely deal with a live animal. That boot method is fine for you and me. I even have sometimes gripped a large live raccoon behind the neck, but I would never encourage anyone to do it because it is very dangerous. Encouraging the boot method on a small raccoon can easily get a beginner hurt whether a kid or adult. Beginners - use a catch pole and be safe. There is no justification for going through rabies vaccine because of a scratch or bite by a raccoon that a beginner released.

Great video. This was my first year solo. I can relate alot on the whole getting permission aspect. Good luck with the rest of the season.

I just looked up that block. It was made for the Indy 500 it said. Great find!

It's our last week of season. I'm kinda doing this with 5 to 3 mink sets. Producing. Snaring mink under over passes.i have a few videos

Great video

Enjoy your videos CC just being there doing it is what it’s all about no matter how many sets you got out

Nice job. Liked !!

You should do a mink professional fur handling video.

Love your channel. You have crazy good content clear from catching an animal to the finished product. Just tossing out an idea that would be helpful for me and maybe other trappers but would you ever do a bait and lure video? Go through what bait and lure you use for dirt holes, DPs, and beaver trapping and if it is homemade how you make it. 👍🏻

Another great video from the master himself. ...glad to see you back in action. I use 1 Mini marshmallow dipped in a little peanut butter for my dp sets. Lasts a little longer with all this bad weather we been having. Later guys and tight chains for all.

This trapping season ill be working part time and attending Ranken... Gonna be interesting to run the line with my daughter for the first time!

Awesome awesome bud just goes to show you how much you can catch with minimal cost and time ! Great information as usual thanks for sharing !

Appreciate you taking the time to show this, would love to see a predator challenge less than a dozen sets. I live in Vermont so nothing to get 24 inches of snow in one storm. Tight lines man

Thank you!

Great haul for a week

Part time trapping beats no time trapping! Glad to see you uploading a little more regularly.

Wished I had as much energy as you, fill the fur shed.

I have really enjoyed your videos. Very helpful and very informative. But I was wondering if you could do a video on how to take care and maintain the dog proof traps. Or if you already have what video was it. I have looked but could have possibly over looked it.

Some good advice from a KZread OG. 👊💀👍🍻🇺🇸🍻

Great video! That's quite a bit of fur for only 5 sets. Thats something to think about. With having a rollercoaster of hours where I work I may try this. We had a lot of rain here by us in east central Wisconsin back in October, so I feel your pain as far as that goes.

Been waiting for a new video for a while good video

Brother I’ll join next year ! Wish you would’ve let me know of this beginning of our Iowa season !

5 stars!!

I bought 6 of the #1 3/4 . I'm thinking of adding some dog proofs to my arsenal. I love your channel man. I really feel like it helps me alot. Season just started here for me. Hopefully I'll have something on my line

i have bought a lot of stuff and I really want to learn more from you

I really like watching your videos plan on starting to trap in January for Beaver and muskrat

well done

I'm new to your channel and have been binge watching all your videos. Love that you take time to explain very aspect of trapping and all that it involves. I've seen allot of different channels and yours is the only one I can stay in tune with. So I've been out of the trapping world for quite a bit and I'm just curious about lures and baits. We use to use Cavens if I remember right. Wondering what your thoughts/opinions are for purchasing and/or making lures and baits. Whats best for what species? Brands? Types? Just trying to not invest in a bunch of worthless merchandise that wont work. Thanks for the info in all your videos.

very true a few traps at the right locations will produce a nice amount of fur

I’m going to do this and give u creds for it

Great video! Location is key

I began trapping on my own land last year using a half dozen Duke 1.5 traps. Never used more traps than that on my line all season long, sometimes less. I have congestive heart failure and due to health and age, I cannot walk a long line. More traps certainly catch more animals but you can indeed enjoy trapping and catch fur using just a few traps. The key, I found, is to run the line every single day, rain or shine and keep the traps set. Critters here in Mississippi eat every day, rain or shine. I've got video of raccoons, possums, etc. working my traps in pouring down rain. You don't have to be a highly skilled trapper either. Animals will come to scents, baits, and lures. Yes, it helps to put traps in great spots but trust me here....nearly any animal who comes near your trap, even if it isn't in the best spot, will smell your lure and check out your set. So just set the trap and bait it. If it doesn't catch something in a few days move it somewhere else. You will have a ton of fun trapping and you will catch fur, just as this video claims you will. Take the challenge! Get yourself a few traps, even if you buy used ones to save a few dollars, and set them out. See for yourself what trapping is all about. You will be glad you did. Great video!!

Good job buddy . Nice catch. Keep them coming your doing just fine. . And KZread going be ass about it were find another way aaaaaaa. Thanks again and f the tree huggers. 😉😉😉😉😉

Thumbs up

Great videos, been watching you're videos for awhile now. Quick question, where are you selling your fur these days? I always sent to NAFA, but haven't sold fur the last couple years due to barely getting out. I was thinking of hittingthe state auction, but haven't sold there before. Thanks.

To anyone that asks what a "good spot is" look for water source, locate tracks of animal youre looking for (Thats library education), find a path still used by your sized animal next to a cross path. Cross path meaning highly populated area of predators and your prey.

Coon Creek can correct me if im wrong. Im NOT a trapper

Awesome video! Glad to see you upload again. What do you use for coon bait? Maybe you could do a video on making it.

Too busy with work, no one to sell to, and too rainy to trap here so I’m remote trapping through Stu lol keep up the great work brother

Me too. We have 3 to 4 feet of snow on the ground. We have had a lot of snow since the day before Thanksgiving that knock out power for 4 days. Had to quit hunting too. Lost over a month of hunting cause I got stuck out in the woods going to my spot. Last day of hunting. At 68, I didn't look forward to walking out long distances.

I release all my ‘Possums.... To the other side! In the Spring all they do is look for Nest and Mother birds. We will never have Pheasants again unless we reduce the ‘Coon and ‘possum numbers.

Thanks

I suggest using cups to put over the dp helps with the rain an to see if you made a catch or got cleaned out

Awesome forsure let em go if there not worth the money..

That's pretty good for 5 traps in my opinion

I have watched ur videos a lot but just subscribed with a question that I just cant get an answer for is there a difference between gray fox and red fox trapping

How long would you leave a trap that hasn’t produced before you move it to a new location

Did 4 sets for marten this year. Two traps at each set so they wouldnt eat a caught critter. I got two and my daughter caught two.

Great to see you back man! Doesn’t look like you are putting the wire over the tails anymore on the stretching board. Why did you stop?

is there a proper way to dispatch a skunk so it doesnt spray? i got my first this year and it sprayed lol fun times lol P.S. this was my first year trapping using dog proofs

As one of the many people who haven't started trapping yet but want to, is there a reason you attach the cable to all your traps, especially the dog proofs with the short chain? Wouldn't a guy just be able to screw them to a toggle with some good screws and washers and that be fine?

Ayyy! I've been missing the videos!

I double hardware wire and tie trees or good green roots or I use the fence staples worked for 45 years sure I use stakes for canines and I use 3/8 cable to tie my dog proofs to culverts to stop theft drill a hole a 5 inch piece of cable and 1 feral crimped I’ve never lost one yet I’ve had the cable shot with a .22 or a attempt to cut the cable with wire cutters pried with a pry bar they left for me lol and no losses ! But I’d go nuts pushing or hammering in stakes at my coon sets .

I feel like trapping is like fishing to me gotta have gear and bait but it dont mean spit unless your in the right spot!
