Swampy water does NOT sound fun! Whatever it takes!

Absolutely!!! Ain't no shame in that swim game.

Hey Mike, we're a little spread out through the state. Josh is in NW Ohio, Richie and Troy are South Central OH, and Brian and Boe are in North Central OH

I hunt Medina Ohio and Muskingum ohio

👏 👏 that’s exactly what it’s called! A purr! In this particular case it would be an aggressive purr as if to say “who are you and what are you doing in my neck of the woods. BE GONE!” They also make a more content and “happy” purr when feeding and it’s sometimes accompanied by a whistling sound. Lots of different vocals in the turkey woods!

Heard those reports. Such a tragic way to end a shed hunt. Fortunately, we don’t have bears or big felines in our area.

Yes

@@michaelsmith5171 Thank you

Every year. Fastest growing tissue and bone known to man. Even more amazing is elk, moose and caribou with their giant antlers shed and regrow them every year. INCREDIBLE!

We still have some whitetails holding very late too!

Don’t tell him that. He’ll get a big head! 😂

@@TheWillHuntLife lmfao good for him! Only thing my hound dog hunts is cheeseburgers 😂

@@coreybrown2063 mmmmmmm cheeseburger. lol. Oh believe us, if Waylon could get his chops on a cheeseburger, it wouldn't end with just one. We'd swear he's part Raccoon. Dude will eat ANYTHING food related. Can't leave stuff within reach or turn your back. Lost many an uncooked jalapeño popper to the rascal.

@@TheWillHuntLife gotta love hound dogs! This one is my 3rd in 25 years and once I got my first one I never looked back.

Most do at first. I did when I was training my bird dogs. Now they just work their asses off and get excited when we load up bc they know they’re going straight to get an ice cream cone wherever we can find one.

We trade him treats for antlers! 😆

Should we do a video on training a shed dog?

@TheWillHuntLife yessir please.

We’ll do our best to accommodate! May be a little while as we have a ton of turkey, deer and trapping content to post yet this year. Hope ya can be a little patient 😉

@TheWillHuntLife gotta love the outdoor life. Looking forward to watching those too

That’s a great way to celebrate your birthday!!

You’re not wrong.

That’s debatable. 😆 he’s also the reason we can’t have nice things 😂 wait for a future short to see how naughty he can be lol

Thanks man! More coming soon. Hopefully walleyes too! ;)

Appreciate the support! 👊

Doesn’t happen a lot in lower populated areas like here. Obviously we have reds, but we don’t have a lot of cover and very few fencerow anymore and more coyotes than we’d like to see! Maryland and PA are much more likely to have double catches.

It really is hard to beat.

It never ceases to amaze us the naïveté people display when it comes to nature and wild animals. They live in these conditions and much worse 24/7/365. Ever seen how a coyote, raptor or eagle treat a red fox? It isn't pretty or nice. Our short from several weeks ago shows the release of a red fox several years ago when the population was lower than desired. We released every red fox we caught for several years. Hunting, trapping and fishing aren't about killing...Hunters, trappers and anglers pour billions of dollars into conservation each and every year, more than any other "save the animals" group on the planet. Tell us again about pity and remorse? ✌️

As you know it is NOT a sellers market anymore. Hasn't been for a number of years and we're unlikely to ever see prices like the 70s, 80s and even the early 90s. For us, it's helping keep populations in check, helping farmers, educating people and keeping the trapping tradition alive. We'd love to run a longer line than what we do, but as you mentioned it isn't gonna pay any bills, so we keep it just long enough to have some action and be outdoors. What fur we do collect ends up at the Fur Harvesters Auction.

@@TheWillHuntLife the earlier 2000's the prices were except able. But like you I never was trying to get rich off of it. But I was actually losing money.. I never shipped. i had a local buyer that gave reasonable prices. But I called him and he said nope he was done. Said he had like 3000 pelts in chest freezers he couldn't sell. I follow the prices in FFG and yeah it's bad.. our only real hope is fur comes back in style in some other part of the world. It not going to happen here ever again. To many snow flakes.. I miss it.

@@tl1635 you’re 100% correct. The early 2000s were acceptable and one of our local fur buyers through in the towel several years ago. 😔 Throw in trade sanctions etc against what were the biggest fur buyers and it’s not good. Not good at all.

@@TheWillHuntLife we can only hope fur comes back in style in China lol.. btw I appreciate you not showing the dispatching.. I was watching some videos recently where they did and standing around and making a joke. yeah we are used to it. But It aggravated me.. it's just not for the general u tube viewer. I subscribed to you.

@@tl1635 appreciate your support! We got a ton of content coming real soon!

Great questions and thought, but it was 100% mange. Most notable mid back above the back hips, but fur loss was becoming evident over the entirety of the coyote. Under all legs was nasty as well. It was also a male.

Probably after coyotes

@thomasjcorson7502 is correct. The area in which that red fox was caught had a lower fox population than we'd like to see and our focus at the time was coyotes only in hopes the red population would rebound. We're happy to report that it's now been a few years and the fox population there has indeed rebounded to a point where we kept a few that we caught this year.

Curious as to what you mean?

Right back at ya @melvinjenkins7154

Please message our Facebook or Instagram accounts for the details. Thank you!

Hey @jack0903 Curious why you're saying rebar is "not good." Earth anchors are fine to use, but in order to save time pulling traps in frozen ground, or needing to return to the site after the ground thaws, we prefer using double stake swivel and 2 rebar stakes.

You bet! Hoping the current high water goes down. Everything is currently flooded but we'd like to get a few sets in before the season ends!

We don't mind 1 coyote on the landscape, but the problem is where there's one, there's a ton! lol. As hunters whom like to eat, we appreciate farmers for feeding the world and allowing us the privilege to experience His creation on their property and pursue the animals we do!

Glad you enjoyed it. Good Shootin!

Thanks!

Outside of giving a little covering from about the chest down especially when spring leaves aren't on, that's not much of a blind, BUT fair enough. We've done that too and will accept your challenge to do it with only natural cover. You're just gonna have to wait until 2024 ;)

That was an Elite Archery EnVision bow.
