Years ago, trapping was a way of life for many people. In many areas of the world, they still depend on it for sustenance. In a real survival situation, being a capable trapper is probably the most important way of putting protein on the table as the snares and traps work for you while you are doing other tasks. Much thanks to Dan Lutz and Abnormal Outdoors for his help and teaching in how to snare this animal that has been doing so much damage to the river/creek around our property. Please leave me a comment in the section below!
Dan is so knowledgeable in trapping I've had the privilege to talk to him for hours on a personal level plus I've been on his live stream as a guest. The time before and after was priceless information
"And we're looking to get some beaver." Man, kudos x 1000000 for saying that with a straight face. If it were me, it'd be...."beaver comment. Take 768"
I learned from Blackie Thomas that Dan had passed away. Dan was a real outdoorsman and a wealth of knowledge. I am really glad that you captured some of his talent on video. Thanks James!
Very true. He was such an amazing man of multiple talents and wonderful stories. I feel that my life is richer in so many ways for having the privilege of being his friend. He will be greatly missed and no one will ever be able to take his place.
@@WayPointSurvival Dan contributed soo much to this community. He will be missed but not forgotten. I know that he's in a better place and that he has set a standard for others to follow. Prayers for everyone 🙏.
I love learning more trapping info. My emergency trapping kit i always carry when outdoors has some things that are only legal to use in emergencies, such as a gill net. But also 2 dozen premade snares, a gig, a few rat traps. And cordage. Trapping and snaring is the most efficient means of getting meat in an emergency. Never had to use the kit. But its insurance.
Awesome Vid, Thank You. Great information , With Camping . Thank You Dan Lutz also Funny that the word Delicacy in my mind is a rare and small part of any animal or what ever is editable. Delicacy = is a small portion of a larger part of any editable item. That is what makes it a delicacy, IMHO. Many years ago, EVERYTHING was eaten, and understandably so. These special parts were reserved for the hunter or their family. Big build up to the Delicacy term. Not that it was the best part, but because it was the rare and small part of the kill. Very socially acceptable propaganda, made it taste good. Yet it worked and we ate every part of a Kill. JMHO Thanks James, Great information.
Thank you. I was determined to give it a try. I've always had an ability to eat a variety of different foods whenever I've traveled to different parts of the world, so I just set my mind and went for it. Glad I did and it wasn't bad at all!
Hello from Oklahoma! Good video.I've trapped since the mid 70's. It's absolutely true, when I lived in Nebraska U definitely could freeze to death if U weren't careful. Also, there are probably more than just that one. Thanks for all you do. God Bless!
Interesting content. Guess I’m a dummy , always thought of beaver tail like a big flap of leather. We have them but I’ve never messed with them . The fishy taste really surprises me thanks for sharing and the bloopers were great. Have a great evening
Hello from southern Ohio as well....meigs county. I have never tried the tail, but the boys and i cooked a beaver on a spit and we loved it, even got the wife to try it and she liked it. Thanks for the info, i didnt know they dug holes underground in rivers.
Great presentation. I’ll still watch your postings but I’m going to subscribe to Abnormal Outdoors. You guys seem to have more fun off camera than on camera and I hope that continues for years to come. Mr. Lutz reminds me of a mentor of mine from years ago (subtract some of the beard though lol).
Excuse me sir, did I see you ask a quick blessing before partaking of the meal? I’ve got 3 tails in my freezer that I have been saving to try and tan. When I went through trappers education the instructor at that time told us that you could eat the tail along with the rest of the meat. I haven’t tried it yet. Thank you to you and your guest. I really enjoyed this episode and the content.
There's nothing wrong with eating all the beaver you can. 😉 again great video brother. Edited: btw, thanks for the honest review of beaver tail. I've never had it, and have heard mixed things about it. Taking your opinion into factor, I'm gonna definitely have to try it now.
Don’t care much for Beaver Tail, I like the blackstrap a lot better. I used to trap a long time ago. I had a good time trapping. Thanks for showing us. Take care.
After eating it, I can definitely say that it wouldn't be for everyone, lol. Cooking it right helps, as well as using a little salt, however it's still just mostly fat and gristly. It was, however, edible enough that I could easily do it again, no problem.
Conibear is the way to go! Easy and doesn’t cut the fur. Can get heavy and is pricy but never fails, oh and they can break limbs if not used with caution
Another thing is that fat is hard to come by in the wild. I'd heard that beaver tail has a lot of fat, but not about the gristle part. I wonder if it was considered a delicacy because of the fat issue? I know that's one reason why the old timers liked harvesting bears when they were getting ready to hibernate .... Just wondering out loud, here.
Haven't had that one... In truth, however, the beaver meat is some of the best organic food that I have ever eaten. They eat wood and roots and so are generally not touched by much pollution. Very healthy and full of protein. Also, even though it was tearing up the creek, and it needed to be dealt with, I don't want to waste any resources. I have a feeling the day might very soon come that we will be grateful for whatever we can find to eat. Thank you for watching and commenting, my friend. Stay safe.

Here, hold my beer.
When you paused before you began to eat you became my favorite channel! : )
Thank you so much. My faith is the most important part of my life.
Same I really love that you pray on a Media outlet that is so anti christian 🙏
Glad to see you learning from Dan. I learned of him through Blackie Thomas and always learn something from him.
Yes, he is a really wonderful guy and I'm very privileged to know him.
This guy has wisdom written all over his face. Superb guest 👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you!

Thank you, my friend. Yes, his passing is a great loss to all of us.
Always interested in the know how that goes along with a skill. I also got a good belly laugh out of the outtake. Good content, as always, James.

A great tribute to Dan and his legacy.

Been wondering about trapping for a while. Thx for this!
Thank you for watching!
Rest in peace, Dan Lutz.
Indeed. He is greatly missed!
RIP Dan
Yes indeed. I miss him very much.
In the old days some referred to beaver meat as camp beef, thanks for posting 👍
Thanks for watching!

Very interesting great video.
Thank you, my friend!
Dan has forgotten more than any of us will ever know about the outdoors and trapping.
Indeed. So sad that he has passed on and will not be able to share any more of his amazing wealth of knowledge.
@@WayPointSurvival thanks and God Bless America
Rest in peace Dan
Yes. A great man who will be sorely missed.
There's an art to trapping for sure.
Definitely. Thank you for watching!

That was very cool 🤠

Thanks Jim hey Dan good to see ya big guy .beaver tail nice .I don't like it but maybe didn't cook it right ?
After eating it, I can definitely say that it wouldn't be for everyone, lol. Cooking it right helps, as well as using a little salt, however it's still just mostly fat and gristly. It was, however, edible enough that I could easily do it again, no problem.

I would have to have to have some hot sauce with it !!! Thanks Brother !
That would definitely add to the flavor! Thank you for watching!

Indeed, the fat content is a very big part of why it was desirable.
Cool but I prefer the pastry version!

Save some for me please! 👏👏😃👍👍
It's in the freezer as we speak....
Beaver tail and beans. Mountain man's delight!
Yes, it would be a great meal!
I miss Dan..
I know what you mean...
I bet those mountain men loved eating that fatty beavertail, just like Eskimos eating seal blubber, you really need the fat in cold wet weather.
Indeed you do. Thank you for watching!
Save a tree eat a beaver
Indeed. Thanks for watching.
I too am lookin to get some Beaver!! ...Have been since I was 13!!
Well, it's never too late to start studying the art of trapping.
