Belisle traps are hands down the best body grip trap in the world. and as a Canadian im proud to say they are Canadian made. Love your videos btw keep up the good work
I have gotten two beaver in Belisles by legs and held them, 1 by a front and 1 by a back leg. My favorite body grip traps hands down. Keep slammin them. Al
No snow ?? I was just thinking as you were going through all of the mess by the lodge, " I wonder how many pairs of waders he goes through in a season." Lol. I feel your pain. Keep up the good work !!
That beaver getting out on to land is why I ALWAYS use cable (a swivel at the trap and one on the cable end), not wire and secure it like an elephant may get in.
Another at spot! Waders need to be a lot thicker! I got a new pair for this year again and already have a leak in both legs. Every season I year them up.
I do a ton of adc work mainly beaver for highways and townships and have always said if your going to buy conibears buy Belisles they will litterally pay for them selves. I have caught and held beaver by the tail. Toes hands down the best
Im helping a local organisation that helps vets and disabled kids with a big beaver problem got 5 in 3 days i caught a 40ib one and the rest have been 1-2 year olds i believe there should be another big one ive been taking my 2 nephews with me there first year going with me i think ive created 2 more trappers 😆
Another great video Scott. I have to wonder if beavers sometimes spring 330's by hitting them with their tail. I caught a big one by the tail in a belisle the other day. They might be able to pull out of a Duke 330's if caught by the tail. Just my opinion
Do you have any advice im having trouble catching i think the last beaver in a small lake hes trap shy to my 330s castor sets i even have one in a under water trail set the past few days it just swims over the 330. Would a drowner set work since hes been avoiding my 330 castor set? If you look at my last video i posted i had set a trail camera on my 330 castor set he wouldnt even go up to the trap
When I was around 7 me n my dad were trapping beaver n he got too close to the lodge , fell in to his arm pits in ice cold water, I was 7 so I laughed like hell😂
@@kyraleigh9816 No I was cleaning out my storage unit. I left the door open and ran to the gas station for a minute to get something to drink by time I came back they were gone
Hit that Trap Shy Beaver with snares. Everyone who calls themselves "Beaver Trappers" around here always use Body Grips and all the Beaver won't go near one. So I use snares & footholds and get every single beaver that are flooding private property and dropping trees on houses, cars and roadways.
My buyer has told me too find a different outlet for beaver fur ... nobody is shearing for hats anymore... so they’re not buying beaver . And I’m heart broken I love beaver trapping it’s a long long season plus it brings me fur I will trade trapping out beaver for trapping rights . I have over 9000 acres of land I trap because of trading beaver carcass for trapping permissions... deer hunting land permission. I do a few blanket wall decor hoops made of copper and then a few chewed sticks but I mostly give those too the people who called me too eliminate the problem beavers 🦫. I smoke the beaver also and make jerky and pass that too the land owners also ! Just too show I’m not just after fur ... but I don’t think I could sell as many furs in hoops for a wall too use up all my beavers . I have been getting 250.00 each a beaver oval and 175.00 for coons skin rugs . Of course I get 100.00 for skunks and 25.00 for opossum blankets . But I felt good knowing I could sell 10 or so a year . Now I’ll have 30x the calls and no place to sell pellets ... and it’s hard too trade for rights when you got to charge money for nuisance beavers .
Man if your buyer said he doesn't want your beaver ship them to canada auction or groenwald in illinois, they will definitely buy them. Castor prices are really good this year too.
It's not really a level playing field trapping beaver is for beginners , honestly think about it how hard would it be for someone to find you if they put a trap at your front and back door of your home hopefully he's using them for something or atleast selling them.
Everyone saying shoot em. I can't help but laugh. You will be losing money with each hole in the pelt. Blunt force trama over the head will save your pelt and you will still have a perfect pelt for sale. I put too much effort into catching them to waste money
That is not true at all. It is perfectly fine to shoot a live beaver with a .22 . The buyers will not dock you for a small hole in the head of a beaver. Fact.
A .22 caliber hole in the head of a beaver does not "ruin" the pelt. Nor does it cost you $$ at the fur buyer. I'm totally fine with blunt force trauma, I'm just clearing up this incorrect statement that a small .22 hole will ruin ANY pelt. Period.
Do.your fur buyers also buy the castor glands.Here in Iowa the ones I trapped I just tanned the hides at home.Furs bring such low prices most people just save the animals for dog food and burn the hides
Burning the hide that's really stupid. Especially with the effort put in to catch them. We catch DONT sell them and get them tanned. If we sell one they easily go 100 dollars tanned. Again why burn the hides? It's liking burning hundred dollar bills lol. Its for dumbest thing I've ever read.
@@AnthonyRubeoOutdoors we get very little for them here in Iowa..We are lucky to get 5 bucks apiece if we are lucky.So alot of the time they are thrown away like nuisance animals.Trappers in my parts never bother to skin them.It doesnt even pay enough for the time to trap.Most trappers down here trap for the hobby and to keep property free of the nuisance animals.If Im not working on something to use the fur with they are thrown away.If anyone dislimes it then come to Iowa and trap then try to sell the hides.Hide buyers give very little
As a fellow trapper, I love watching your beaver trapping videos!!!!
Oh yeah, everytime you upload its like Christmas morning.
I'm a truck driver I just stopped for the night just seen your video pop up. Good luck on catching beavers
safe travels!!
Would love to see some videos in the fur shed! Love your vids!
Seeing that ice makes me laugh as I've never seen it that cold here in South Louisiana!
Great video
Belisle traps are hands down the best body grip trap in the world. and as a Canadian im proud to say they are Canadian made. Love your videos btw keep up the good work
Couldn't agree more!
Monster lodge for sure! Great vids, well done!
That trap line sure paid off. Great video bud 🤘
Awesome catches!👍
I have gotten two beaver in Belisles by legs and held them, 1 by a front and 1 by a back leg. My favorite body grip traps hands down. Keep slammin them. Al
Absolutely! I have gotten a few myself over the years. E even caught one my the shoulder once!
The Master Beaver Trapper! Good vid once again. 👍
Man your killing them!! Great job! Most of luck to you!!
No snow ?? I was just thinking as you were going through all of the mess by the lodge, " I wonder how many pairs of waders he goes through in a season." Lol. I feel your pain. Keep up the good work !!
Nice job! Keep em coming!

Nicely done! Thanks for another great vid.
Great video- thanks for NOT playing music! 👍
I’ve never seen so much beaver!!!
Awesome video, keep them coming.
Great video....good job...
Excellent as always
Awesome video. Nice big beavers
Another at spot! Waders need to be a lot thicker! I got a new pair for this year again and already have a leak in both legs. Every season I year them up.
A cup of coffee and a great video. Maybe 3 pots of coffee a day is too much sometimes.
Nice video Scott💪
awesome video keepem coming
Love it keep it coming man!
I think you like H stands more than you let on ha. Another great video man keep em coming.
They are growing on me!
Nice video, Happy New Year.
H stand for the win lol
Awesome video man! Yesterday I educated a beaver because I forgot to take the safetys off, lol. Hopefully tomorrow is different.
Nice that you use all different brands of 330s.ya Belisle is the best but you show uses for all.
Yes absolutely. Is any brand of 330 will work just fine
Hell yeah it was a sweet video.
👊💀🍻🇺🇲🍻
The h stand looks like a modified realty sign holder? I"ve caught a few nuisance beaver n rats but interested!
Happy New Year MGBYAAIJNA 😎
How often do you check your beaver traps?
Every day for a few days. Then 2 days and then i pull them
I do a ton of adc work mainly beaver for highways and townships and have always said if your going to buy conibears buy Belisles they will litterally pay for them selves. I have caught and held beaver by the tail. Toes hands down the best
Absolutely!
Surprised you didn't have a.22 pistol on you. I never leave home without one when I'm trapping. Love those Belisle's myself 👍
It’s illegal to shoot beaver
Not if it's caught in a trap sir. Hunting beaver maybe it's illegal, but dispatching a trapped beaver with a firearm is completely legal.
Flintlock 25 well you do have a point
I forgot put it in the comments like you have a deep run that's why I was asking if you can put two on h stand.
Im helping a local organisation that helps vets and disabled kids with a big beaver problem got 5 in 3 days i caught a 40ib one and the rest have been 1-2 year olds i believe there should be another big one ive been taking my 2 nephews with me there first year going with me i think ive created 2 more trappers 😆
That's great!!
@@330Maniac thanks and i was wondering how you tell a male from female? You seem to be able to tell pretty fast
what is a feed pile?
Its their winter food supply
what brand waders do you wear
Why do you not like h stands? Just inconvenience to carry around or do they not work as good?
Little of both but they makes for fast setting
What do you do with the beavers you catch?
He do not know that and even that why destroying those valuable animals and their homes.
DO you always set your 330s on the first notch on the dog? Does that help with refusal?
It helps with head catches
Awesome catch! Why don't you like H stands they seem to work ok?I don't have any but was thinking about getting some.
Another great video Scott. I have to wonder if beavers sometimes spring 330's by hitting them with their tail. I caught a big one by the tail in a belisle the other day. They might be able to pull out of a Duke 330's if caught by the tail. Just my opinion
I also think they spring them with a front as they walk into a run on the bottom
What did the beavers make wrong for you? Why not letting them live?
Please adjust your camera angle when you are looking down.
Do you have any advice im having trouble catching i think the last beaver in a small lake hes trap shy to my 330s castor sets i even have one in a under water trail set the past few days it just swims over the 330. Would a drowner set work since hes been avoiding my 330 castor set? If you look at my last video i posted i had set a trail camera on my 330 castor set he wouldnt even go up to the trap
You make them into blankets? How do buy them?
Sell them
I never trapped before, can you explain a feed pile ?
It is their food supply they survive on throughout the winter
How many beavers do you suppose you've trapped?
This year or in my life?
@@330Maniac Lifetime ... ballpark.
5 or 6000 I'd say. Caught almost 500 one year. Lots of other 400 years. Generally 250 to 300 a year.
@@330Maniac If you eat the meat that must save you a bundle on groceries! I was born in Minnesota and enjoy the view. Keep up the good work.
You said you got a hole in your waders in a week. Are there any really great waders out there that will last a long time?
You need to try High N Dry waders - hold up great for the $$$
When I was around 7 me n my dad were trapping beaver n he got too close to the lodge , fell in to his arm pits in ice cold water, I was 7 so I laughed like hell😂
He will be trapping muskrat only in a couple seasons
No. I always trap beaver every year for the past 25 years in these spots. More beaver move in the next year
Stupid question for ya. The first one you caught, you rubbed it on it back on the ice. Why did you do that?
Dry the fur with the snow
11:20 front foot catch 0.o Weirdest catch of the year?
Should use more beilse 330s wouldnt have so many snaped empty traps
I need to buy some more. I had 2 dozen but they were stolen this spring
Dam that hurts were they stolen while set ?? Thats a expensive lost there
@@kyraleigh9816 No I was cleaning out my storage unit. I left the door open and ran to the gas station for a minute to get something to drink by time I came back they were gone

If I really wanna get them I'll hand some snares
寒い中でご苦労様です😀
do you do any predator trapping?
What if it was a muskrat and the trap snapped around him
Then its dead
No but a muskrat is so small in that big trap the trap could have snapped around the rat and it didn’t get caught

A small .22 hole in the head will absolutely 100% not cost a trapper a single cent a beaver pelt. That is a fact sir
Why do you hate H stands? I love em for really water
I've always had a problem with misses for some reason
Where did you have the land owner shoot the beaver to not ruin the Fur
Please adjust your camera angle. Not seeing what you are. Mostly ground when you are checking what’s in the traps.
How come the land owner had to shoot the the big Beaver where was your pistol?
You shouldn't shoot beaver, it ruins the pelt. Blunt force trama is better
That is not true at all. It is perfectly fine to shoot a live beaver with a .22 . The buyers will not dock you for a small hole in the head of a beaver. Fact.
If i'm using conibears i never carry a pistol with me.
As long as you shoot the beaver in the head it doesn't effect the pelts value at all
On the h stands can you put two traps on it. If you can I haven't never noticed on anybody else's channel
You can, PCS Outdoors sells some you can do double 330's
11:20 that's why you bring a gun lol
Not a good idea. Ruins the pelt. You lose money that way Blunt force trama is better no hole
A .22 caliber hole in the head of a beaver does not "ruin" the pelt. Nor does it cost you $$ at the fur buyer. I'm totally fine with blunt force trauma, I'm just clearing up this incorrect statement that a small .22 hole will ruin ANY pelt. Period.

Wish beavers didn’t exist
Would you tell a reason for your existing then?
i place $50 bills on the bar and usually catch a beaver
