Been using a float I designed 17 years ago, I also had to add additional foam after first two seasons . They are made of white cedar. Have 96 out of the original 100 left , excessive flooding has claimed them. They are the cats ass though.
I also had a hell of a time with the water levels and constant snow, been trapping same state for beaver for 50 years now , ain't never seen water this high , even higher then 93
You mentioned that the majority of your catches, in this video, were smaller. In your opinion, would this be due to seasonal population dispersion? Younger adults being pushed out of the family unit by older, breeding pairs?
Thanks for the video. Just started a week ago in southern mn
This will be on my trapper arts and crafts to do list for sure!!👍👍👍
Excellent video!! Watching you set that 750 makes me glad I got the One Handed Setters for those LOL

Thanks for taking us along . Do you happen to have a design plan for the floats? They look like they should be added to everyones line for sure.
Nice video , keep it up.

Good job.
Although it makes me a little sad that 90 percent of the comments can't figure out how to make the float without instructions.
Great content! Lol If it was easy, everyone would be doing it
Do you have plans for you floats? Ingenious design and look productive, also look good for areas they pass thru but don't leave much sign.
Great Video. Would love to see a video of how you build your floats.
Great set-up on the floats! I'm going to be ordering you footholds for sure! Good luck with everything my friend!! You did a great job!!
i have got to make some of those floats . they are nice .you should make a video on building those floats .
Yep I was thinking same thing!
If you have time when making more floats, you should do a quick how-to of how you make them. Are those 2x4 or 2x6s?
I'll try to do it Monday for you! 2x4s
Like to try them but illegal in Maine have to be completely under water
Great video and i would like to see how you make your floats thanks
I'll try to get it up on Monday!
Great video. I gotta try those floats someday.
Not a bad day man. Would love to see a video on making those floats.
Same
Me as well
Add me to the list
And I'd like to see the build as well.

Nice run. Hopefully this weather changes. Good luck
You must be from northern mn
how you make the float
Smooth rod, or just rebar
The Hagz rod end uses 1/2 smooth fiberglass rods.
Build video?
So are you using 3-2×4 per side or how do you make them
do you think you would still be as successful with the floats even the water wasn't at flood stage??thanks
At the point I prefer running footholds guarding castor mounds. They're a lot lighter and take up far less room than floats.
Success rate seems pretty good with them floats,you have any misses as far as snapped traps with nothing in the trap?
👍
