All the old books I have from the early 1900's mostly refer to the long spring traps we use as newhouse traps as kind of a universal description. One was talking about the wolf bounty of that time was $25.00 , a large sum for the day when a good many people made a dollar a day. Most of the books recommended using a tree limb for a drag, or "clog" as they called it instead of using a metal or wooden stake to anchor a trap, or a drowning wire like is still used today. Very happy to see a new trap video. Hope to see many more. Many thanks
I’m 75 old. Growing up I used mostly box traps and spring pole traps. Metal traps were expensive. I caught rabbits, raccoons and ground hogs mostly. All three of which were excellent eating as well as getting paid for the pelts. I had a BB gun that I used to shoot pigeons in the farmers barns. I got a nickel for every pigeon from the farmer, we would eat the pigeon and my neighbor would buy the tail and wing feathers to make decorations with. My Grandmother used to tell me to go get her a yard pig ( groundhog) to cook for dinner and the farmer would give money for shooting them out of his fields.
I am stoked for this series! I have a few sets out finally and hopefully I will expand the line very soon. I absolutely love waking up on a cool morning and walking the line with the excitement of possibly having some action on the line. Best time of year if you ask me! I look forward to seeing what’s next brother!
I never knew how to set the double long spring trap. Nobody ever taught me in my family. That's the first time I've seen those brochures from Victor. Thanks for all the info. Your video was very educational. It's been about 60 plus years since I used to use the traps.
My dad had a pile of those when I was growing up that I used to play around with. Unfortunately, they were stolen from me Several years ago, and I only have one left that belonged to my grandfather. Watching you talk about those Those older style traps really brings back memories!
Hey Dave, question for ya.. do you happen to remember which video it is where you tell that story of the group of hunters that had their deerskins taken by Natives and they carved the note into the tree I think it was? I would like to listen to that again but I can’t remember the video or the details.. thanks 🙏🏻
Primary concern would be toxicity of calories trapped. I drop deer well beyond any Round-Up, PFAS, insecticide, pesticide, fertilizer, etc soaked dwellings. We can get all those right out of the grocery store. Of course, matters not if no gasoline or food readily available.
Wow! So very interesting!! Could you explain or show how to render racoon fat? Great content Dave. There isn't another channel on ytube as good as yours.
No.1 Double Long Spring excellent still as a Water Trap Coon Mink,Muskrat.And believe it or not up on land with Apple for Bait Front Foot Beaver Trapping.You can then relocate them.Used to be Mink Trapper out of Mississippi operated? late 50's - early 70's,Strictly Blind Set Mink Trapper ..300-400 a year used No.11 Victor Long Spring Exclusively. RIP Jimmy Heads.
I hope you can make a video about how to make raccoon lard We have some giant raccoons at the lake and at other towns and cities nearby I saved one one night at work using my Powertac Huntsman XLT. It crawled out the bottom of the trailer i was packing up and i thought it was a small dog at first but when it turned to me I realized it was a giant raccoon 😂 It went to the tree at the sidewalk and stayed there for a while then went to the manhole and back to the tree about 4 times before crossing the 4 lane road. I was thinking "Am i gonna see it die? I can't let that happen, i gotta help it but i don't wanna get close to it" so then I shined my light on it each time so the drivers can see it and not run it ov er 😂
Dave I’ve been watching you since before you were famous. I remember one time a decade or so ago, you said you had really big news and would tell us about it as soon as you could. My brain went an entirely differently direction than your news. Or what would come. Also screw neanderthal feet. My brain went to games. Now more so with vr. You building the world with plants and their uses, way before fortnight and the quick building. If you propose this to meta aka facebook, don’t forget about the lil guys… 😂
I was using them in the early 80s I lived in the country and got them all from older farmers I didn't have many but for a 12 13 year old ked I didn't need many
I have binge watched your play list for so many years. It is THE woodsman library to me.
Thank you for taking this old man down memory lane. As a teenager I ran about 60 muskrat sets and always threw in a few fox sets in NE Ohio.
I really appreciate the information you provide, Dave. Thank you!! (And 73!) 👍
I have never trapped and probably never will, but I find this absolutely fascinating to watch!

I love all the trapping videos. It's been years since I've trapped for fur. Keep it up man appreciate the knowledge 🤙
Appreciate the insight!
I still have quite a few Oneida/Victor jump traps and Blake and Lamb double long springs in the barn ... Of course I'm pushing 70.
I still use longsprings today.
Thanks
Love it! 💪🏻
Wish I lived closer to attend one of the classes.

These are custom made

No snares?
I was using them in the early 80s I lived in the country and got them all from older farmers I didn't have many but for a 12 13 year old ked I didn't need many
You forgot Stop-Loss and Coil Spring Traps if your talking about foot hold Traps!
Neither were invented then Coil Spring late 30’s and Stop loss, later yet
Damn dude you should have been wearing medical gloves with all that rust on chains and wires
Damn ive been slacking on classes dave
