I figured out that your beaver sizes are as follows: Little Beaver - year old Big beaver - 2 year old Blanket Beaver - really big beaver Big blanket - really really big beaver Titanic - Ginormous beaver in the 70 pound range LOL. Love your videos Sir, thank you for taking the time to share them with us!
You are the man Scott!! That’s high praise from a retired Northern Minnesota logger… I actually used to love to work in that kind of weather, but Not anymore
Awesome job buddy!! I definitely glad to see that you spent time in bad weather to go check traps and show everyone that is watching your videos!! Beaver trapping is probably one of my favorite to trap for sure!! Awesome job!!!
Sleep Apnea, that's a tough one. I've been sleeping with a full face mask since June 2007. In all that time, I've never had a night of restful sleep. That said, I'd never want to go back to how it was before the CPAP. Have you ever looked into the Inspire" device for sleep apnea? I have "complex" sleep apnea, so Inspire isn't an option for me.
I look forward to your videos everyday, great stuff!! I know you've used a lot of different traps over the years. Could you do a show over the brands you've used and what are some things you like and don't like about each brand. Traps you'd like to try in the future? Also, thoughts about the RBGs?
I have sleep apnea as well and you should check out the brand headwear I use. It would allow you to grow your beard no problem. You only have to shave just above your mustache at the base of your nose so it can seal. It’s call Dreamwear. It has a nasal cushion instead of the big mask plus it attaches to the hose at the top of your head which allows you to rollover without breaking the seal on the mask. It’s much more comfortable that the mask you have now.
So is there a detriment to using extra long drowners? I have a trap shy beaver that won't go near a 330, I didn't have any misses so I'm guessing it's an older one with some experience. Only place it's regularly active I can find is pretty shallow for about 15 feet then starts getting waist deep. A 25 foot slide cable is about the only thing I can think of. I have 3 days left in the season. Any reason not to try?
Great video Scott, thanks for sharing. I learn alot from your videos. Question? Do you have much competition since the prices went to crap? I'm in se wi and still waiting on good ice, jealous.
I had a miss on a lodge on a trout ... bigger-than-a-stream-smaller-than-a-river ... waterway. Lodge, huge dam. Had one on a castor set, and a miss in the run. Came back the next day after resetting, and I had the other beaver in the run. Might be the same one!
They might be saving it for several reasons. 1.) To climb it as a look out station,I've seen beaver & wood chucks up in trees & even shot them out of them. 2.) They are very intelligent & master builders & construction works & are using the living roots which do not rot away to hold things together. Chances are it is a very old colony that has been around for ever & passed down knowledge. People should never under estimate the intelligence of wildlife. I try not to. For instance ,let's drop some highly educated humans off in those elements & conditions with their degrees & see if they can make it without freezing,starving or becoming prey?
👍👍exactly ice never freezes above a beaver run. It is how my many Snomobiles fall through traveling along shorelines stay away from shore in deeper water for safety when in vehicle or atv. Or even walking
Why do you push snow back in the hole ? Do. Are how effective is a 220 for beaver. What are they used for someone gave me a 110. 220. 330. Old. I don’t know what kind they r
The beavers are not uses to seeing that light above the run and can get spooky. A 220 is not a good beaver trap. It's just to small. 330.is where it's at
In addition to blocking light, the snow helps insulate the water from freezing the trap in. I've caught beaver in 220's but they just aren't the trap for the job, they're an otter trap, a 280 or 330 is a better bet
I love the ugly weather for trapping nobody’s out and about to see me on private lands I have permission on ! Never fails a nice day every freaking neighbor is standing on the porch yelling I’m on private land … and of course I must stop back up yell I have permission then it turns into names and such and 30 mins later I’m on my way to check traps and then the land owner shows up lol and he must apologize for his nosey neighbors ! But you always wanna be curtious in case they have issues and would like some animals trapped ! Ugh 😑 😂!
I also have sleep apnea but I got just a oxygen tube like my dr told me about I to a medical supply store it doesn’t make noise at all like those mask like ones plus you can talk also

These make me wish I lived a little further from the metro 🤣

I know some people that use 20ft drowning rods and they work well

yes ,I`m enjoying the cold weather shots in my warm house ,well it`s only 68 out side at 8:00 PM here in middle GA
Must be nice, it's a balmy -8°F in the northern reaches of Idaho

Kiss your what? Bahahahahahahaha You still did great! Good luck tomorrow and in 2022. Happy New year!!!
How late in the season do you run? From North Dakota here and with the week of sub zero temps Im thinking the ice may be too thick now.
Ice over an active runway will still be very thin regardless of the temps but we just got 18" of snow. It'll be tough to trap until spring
👍👍exactly ice never freezes above a beaver run. It is how my many Snomobiles fall through traveling along shorelines stay away from shore in deeper water for safety when in vehicle or atv. Or even walking
Audio is very acceptable.
I wouldn't mind a little beaver right now.
Would you do a skinning video sometime? Enjoy your videos thanks.
Beaver mania !! Lol
Have said this before ? You & trapper J are the best !😀

@@timmynormand8082 otter and coons
@@seannewbury1052 thanks for replying back bro. It was a dumb question lol. I was just curious at the time Thanks

You mark your runs before snow, otherwise how do you know
You can easily find them with the aid if a spud bar.
No I don't
Hollow sound ?
Glad the video is over...I 'bout froze to death.
Eeeyyyyy what's crappenin
Watching,see that unexplained fired conibear? You are up against some mature intelligent critters there,I'm pretty sure already. Real survivors.
How much do various products sell for that are made from beaver? Hats, blankets???
I also have sleep apnea but I got just a oxygen tube like my dr told me about I to a medical supply store it doesn’t make noise at all like those mask like ones plus you can talk also
trap in ham
like to know what they weight
Why you never show what you do with them?
you are at least taking your sleep apnea serious...alot of people don't and suffer for it
how much money do you make from each beaver you get? meat, fur, castor, everything. the total added up
