Always appreciate your videos. I have been trapping 50 yrs or so. I am still learning though. Always learning. That’s what makes it interesting and fun. I also mark my drag with a flag, like I believe you have done here. Makes it a little easier to find with weather. Thanks for sharing. Added note... I bought the same boots in Alaska off a guy over 20 years ago or better. Still in use, but not as pretty. Hell, I ain’t pretty no more so don’t much matter! Thanks for sharing. Stay well. Peace
I like the idea of having a drag but I’m hesitant to use them for my sets, what if it snows after you catch the animal but before you check the set. Do you typically find them close even tho you may not be able to track them? I’m just worried about not finding my catch
These are good sets. Even better though is when there is more snow. If there is enough snow the best thing to do is dig under the track from the side. don't disturb the track though. set your trap directly under the track. Make sure to not leave any evidence of having been there. Fill in your tracks for a few feet from your set. You need to use a drag on your trap. Make sure and mark the location of your set in some way or you will never find them later if you don't catch anything.
Mr Dunlap this year we have 20 days so better make a nice littl;e bush for the bobcats see you got a nice camera person plus a Big Mustache boy looking good ex video
wax dirt or peat moss? i guess the peat moss would freeze. does the anitfreeze flake not have a strong smell to it? love how you tell all the reasons why and details. i have got to look into drags more. thanks for the video - 2 years later!
At the 1:30 mark, you mention that they are stepping over the limb. How far past the limb do you want to set the pan? I have an identical situation I'm working in SE Michigan.
@@DunlapLures-SheTraps Jeff, I've got a question on how you'd tackle my situation, but it would require me showing you a trailcam photo. Any chance you've got a Q&A forum?
Kevin Wimmer it was froze about 2 inches then.now I'm not sure as I never hit where it's not frozen.appreciate u watching!look forward to meeting u and shaking your hand
I just wiggle the trap down into the snow wax paper underneath and wax paper over the whole trap sift level with snow . Stays cold here though never above freezing
Best boots ever, I have been wearing them since the first year they made them. Only lived an hour from Ely... I wear the same shirts from Johnson’s too!
Because old-fashioned snares only functioned in a lethal manner, snaring was banned in Michigan. But with the modern cable snare and its potential for holding animals alive and unharmed, the snare has been reinstituted as a legal device for Michigan's trappers taking fox and coyote.
@@DunlapLures-SheTraps I really have great success with snares (Coyotes), I'm using Dakota Line Ghost snares with 285lb pull away and deer stop at 4.25" to comply with law. I am still learning to make successful trap sets, Thanks for your video. I'm in Southern Michigan. Heading out in a minute to the line!
Yep I know.im arguing with their words not yours.good luck out there bud! Heading out muskrat trapping in a hour.opening day!! Have a great season and thanks for participating

coyoteMark lol it does
You greenscreening us Jeff?
Michelle Lyons I wish I was that talented lol
Is the ground froze solid or still thawed under the snow? Love your videos hope to meet you one day
Kevin Wimmer it was froze about 2 inches then.now I'm not sure as I never hit where it's not frozen.appreciate u watching!look forward to meeting u and shaking your hand
Thanks for the info as always
I've bin looking at the fb hammer you are using. Is it truly worth the money?
Brady Martz it's a helluva hammer.i call it the thor hammer but the cape and helmet are sold separately as accessories lol
Haha I think I'll invest in one for next year! Little more money but looks like it will last for the rest of my life!!!!
what i wanna know is where those sick boots come from !
I just wiggle the trap down into the snow wax paper underneath and wax paper over the whole trap sift level with snow . Stays cold here though never above freezing
That's what I do in Alaska but snow is different in northern mich
Iam in Saskatchewan and use mb 650 they explode through crusted snow
cool video butter cups......:)
With the snow on the ground they people can see where you walked or didn’t walk.
What kinds of boots are those? I want some
Logan Knoble steiger mukluks out of Minnesota
Best boots ever, I have been wearing them since the first year they made them. Only lived an hour from Ely... I wear the same shirts from Johnson’s too!
What you use for flake antifreeze
Chad Campbell I dont use flake antifreeze
Cool set I️ like that sucks you can’t snare though
KY Trapping Outdoors we can use cable restraints
This is all I do and scent post,, I think some coy and fox are dirt holed to death,,

They are crap.we have the crappiest cable restraints in the u.s.
Snaring was never legal so I'm not sure it would be considered bannes
