I remember when I was a kid I was trapping muskrats during the blizzard of `78. I went back to get my traps from a creek, the creek was to the top of the banks and frozen, or so I thought. I started walking down the ice when I fell through. Lucky the water stopped at my shoulders cause I hit bottom I instantly jumped so high that I escaped to the bank. I cried and was thanking God when I walked the mile home. My clothes were frozen so hard that it made it very difficult to walk, and the temp was below zero with crazy winds. I left my traps and swore never to trap again, you never forget something like that. You fighting the current brought that memory back in a flash. Anyway, God bless and be careful man, dangerous job then doing alone increases the danger.
Same situation happened to me but I wasn't trapping was messing around with friends and I went under water but that God there was a root I grabbed ahold of and pulled myself out man I was miserable on my long run/walk home I was about 15 thought I was going to freeze to death while my brother and friends were laughing at me I wanted to kick their butts but was to cold this was on big Darby Creek in Galloway well say I learned my lesson
78 was my first year as a logger. if it was not snowing 6"+ it was 20-30 below zero. Hard winter but tremendously forming of character. I would do it again.
Great job Yawt !! Those were some big Beavers!! Flood water is never to be taken lightly!!! It’s very dangerous!! Blessings for all you do spiritually and educational.. You do a great job !!
Did you see the angels that were there with you?? Wow!! Praise God for His power & love!! You're a trooper - recovered that beaver even though you 'bout drowned!!! God bless you and your family always and all-ways!! 🙏♥️🙏
Dave,maybe you should have someone with you when facing circumstances like that. Like you said,deep watet,waders fill up with water,ADIOS AMIGO. On a brighter note,19 beavers, wow, that's a lot.God Bless.
Damn David!!! I thought we were going to see the demise of Yawt Yawt. Buddy them waders can be the death you. Good to see it worked out the way it did, but dang brother be safe.
Thank you for coming into our homes with your Video.. those little over flows don't look like it dangerous but, they will drown you ! Rain are cold , ice and mud what ever the weather. you always bring us some of the best video's out there. We enjoy your storys your family and You just being you. take care. See Ya. SE TExas
Oh, my goodness, you had me scared with that fast water David, you were right, you could have been down the creek, especially with all the clothes you had on. I remember fishing with my Dad in the Wateree River and sometimes they let the water go and it did not take long for the water to get really fast/bad. Please be careful, you had to work really hard for your catch today. Stay safe, God bless.
I just wanted to take a second or two to tell you I truly enjoy your videos. I look forward to watching each one. I listen to your pod casts and follow you on Facebook. I've learned new tricks to trapping Beavers and been reminded of things I'd forgotten. Glad that little swim in the flood wasn't as bad as it could have been. Keep putting out these great videos I love em.
I'm an avid fisherman in the pacific northwest. And quite frequently I'm in my chest waders chest deep in local rivers. If you get caught in fast moving water wearing chest waders, turn over on your back raise your feet out of the water and float down to where you can safely get out and walk back instead of filling your waders with water. Just a suggestion
I wish you had Red with you on these hunts, it really takes two men to do this safely. Your angels were on duty this day! Please be safer David you can only die once. Good video David but scary. Take care 👍😱
Hello David, Hugh Craft, here from Miami Fl. You need to take greater care when wading in fast streams that you don't trip into deep water. When you are alone in this situation you should have a rope anchored on the bank of the stream and attached to your body, so if you slip, you can pull yourself out of a dangerous fix. I have been a viewer of your site for years, and I am always concerned that you work too hard. The Hog trapping is excellent. Please take care. God Bell a true believer!!!
Hey David please be careful during those storms . Can you get one of those life vests that you pull a string and it inflates. Like law enforcement use on the boats . They are like $80 bucks from Bass Pro or other sporting goods places . Your life isn’t won it . Thanks for sharing.)👍👍
I don’t care what they are paying you David, “it’s not enough”. What you have to endure in order to trap those beavers is almost unbelievable. I know the good people of that county in MS must really appreciate what you are doing for them, not only in keeping the roads clear but helping them to maintain their fields for planting and harvesting. May God continue to keep you safe.
David, PLEASE remember. Yawt Yawt goes inside the waders. Water stays outside the waders. Not both inside as it only leads to major problems. Stay safe young fella.
thank you for the video, please be careful. moving water can be so dangerous.. Your videos make me really want to leave the cold central mn and check life down there. You are a great ambassador to mississippi
Great video David! God blessed you today. That was a very close call. You caught some beauties. Luckily the river only got your rod. I remember seeing the short done and this looked a lot worse. You were definitely blessed. Thank you Father. Thanks for sharing!!!
Those are some big beavers. Stay safe, especially with that fast moving water. You are helping with the water flow in that area. Thanks for sharing your trapping videos.
This video was AWESOME! Especially since you're safe from that current you fell into. God bless. 🙏 You're a good and hilarious storyteller brother. 😂 Like when you mentioned grabbing the officer's bodycam to record. lol Be safe brother.
SO GLAD that you got ahold of your drowning rod,or you might have ended up at the Mississippi Coast!!!😳 CONGRATS on all the GREAT catches, and GOD BLESS ALL!!!!👍😊🙏🙏🙏🙏
When I saw the waders go under the water and you struggling got worried for a second but realized you where OK or we wouldn't be seeing the video... Lost a friend and his son when they were duck hunting and boat flipped some how and they didn't get their waders off. When you go see the judge about the reminder the fish cop gave ya you ought to see if they will accept community service in the form of a safety video about the proper ways to survive fast and or deep water when wearing waders. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing with us all
Lol. I don't mean to make light of this but God says don't put anything before him. Go to church and then come home and relax to yawt yawt. He'll still be here...
@@sambowz9077 :) I worry about him. But he is nice to relax to, until of course he tries to drown himself then major panic attack hits me and I need my heart meds. Lol. God is awesome:)
@@DavidEllisYawtYawthey David, about how much do you think that tank of a beaver weighed? It looked huge. I like that you wore your Buckee's hoodie on your monster beaver mission! 😂
You're doing a good job and a necessary one. When you were digging out the one beaver you talked about how they undermine the bank of the stream. You could see behind you the tree that was about to fall over because the bank was undermined. I am an old man and I have seen a lot of things happen in unsafe situations. I have read and heard about fisherman and trappers who drown when the waders fill up with a lot of water. You were in a dangerous situation by yourself. I don't know how you can do it, but you need some kind of safety rope. Roofers used to work without a safety rope. But, after some fell and were seriously injured and died, they now use safety ropes. Keep up the good work.
Just wanted to comment on one more thing. When i first started watching your videos roughly 6 months back, i think you did more Bible verse readings. Personally, i really enjoyed hearing them and learning more from the Bible. Would love if you were able to do more. If possible. Thank you again for great videos. 👏🙏
Bless Sunday everyone and absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage and you doing such an amazing job and very interesting video to watch .. thanks again
I just want to say, Keep having Fun, but please be very careful!! You have a lot of people who still need you and still love you to be around for awhile!!! 🤗❤️👍☃️❄️🥶🙋🏻♀️ Your ending with the subject about how cold it is down there right now in Mississippi! But us Northern People come down there in the Summer time when it is 105 degrees F. No, I won't visit Mississippi in the Summer time!!! 👍
David, you put a scare😮 into me when I saw you amost get swept away by that flood water. How about you wear a life jacket/PFD when you're working in fast water like that. Love ya brother.
I’m glad you didn’t get swept away. I’m glad you’re safe. But on a lighter note at 6:59 I was getting ready to freak out if something grabbed that rake handle and pulled you in. lol. 😂
Thank You Jesus for being with David during this episode of the Wawt Wawt show. It could have ended badly. But it did't.
David, thank you for stopping and helping out that sheriff. So many people just grab their phone and don't offer assistance. I commend you!
Thanks
You made my heart pound with that dangerous retrieval, David! You were protected. 🙏 Good job.
You are blessed to be catching so many beavers. I'm glad you are safe.

My brother and I was trapping muskrats and beavers at 12 years old and we did really good and making money hand over fist .

Blizzard of ‘78…you surely are a New Englander. Me too…I was a teen and remember it well in Massachusetts!

Thank you. And if you ever hear me talk about California folks. Just know. I don’t mean you lol
Did you see the angels that were there with you?? Wow!! Praise God for His power & love!! You're a trooper - recovered that beaver even though you 'bout drowned!!! God bless you and your family always and all-ways!! 🙏♥️🙏
I like that. Angels are standing at the ready. We need to ask.

Good Morning David, Great To See You. Stay Safe Happy Sunday🙏🙏
I’m so impressed with the man you are. The spirit is about you for sure. Good Sabbath.
You for sure are Thanking the Right ONE Who BLESSED You, and kept you from really being in trouble when you fell in. Thank YOU JESUS FOR BEING LORD.
So glad you weren't down the creek without a paddle. I felt my heart racing for you. Thank the good Lord for helping you out of that water safely.
I never knew beavers were so big. Enjoyed watching.
Good morning from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your adventures
Congrats on all the beavers my brother. Becareful out there, God Bless y'all. John V. Michigan

I enjoy the beaver trapping. I know it's hard work, but a lot of thought goes into placing those traps. Love your work, David.
Your one of the hardest working individual in America!

Some people don’t understand the danger in what you do. God was on your side today. Stay safe brother and keep knocking heads.
Excellent video! We don't need to see your Water Dancing anymore though! Glad you're safe!

You're a hoot, man. Watching and enjoying from Canada. Lots of beavers here but i've never seen anyone do what you do. Stay safe.
Fast water kills mosquito larvae, it also kills careless humans. Be careful my friend 👍
Well done on that video. Thanks for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it

Awesome video God Bless you and your family and please be careful
Thank you, I will
Thanks Yawt Yawt!!! Always fun to watch!!! Bless You!!!
Outstanding job feeding hungry families brother
Friend, I was worried about your well being for a moment! You take care and God bless!
I appreciate that
HAHAHA what the heck. You have got into some interesting predicaments. Trapper turned excavator, then lifeguard. Glad you are safe.
David you looked good beaver skiing in that swift water WOO
For whatever reason, it just cracks me up to watch you trap beavers while wearing a Buc-Ees hoodie!
😂
Sets are pulling them in.
Yep, when the waders fill with water things can get serious quickly.
Your The Best David, Big Beaver.
Well, he is a very good David, but I'm not sure he's the "best David. I mean, there was King David. He was kind of the prototype😂😂😂
Just like to let you know that I thoroughly enjoy your videos you are a down to earth fella. Keep them coming, Cheers Harry from Australia
Watched it Sunday morning. Nice haul and can't believe the size of some of those beaver's. Stay well brother take care. 😀
Thanks 👍
Hello there David awesome work trapping the beavers as always stay safe and God bless you all thanks for sharing love it 😀
David, PLEASE remember. Yawt Yawt goes inside the waders. Water stays outside the waders. Not both inside as it only leads to major problems. Stay safe young fella.
I never knew beavers got that big. Those were some monsters. Good work David and please be safe.
I enjoy all of your videos no matter what you are trapping. I think they’re informative and entertaining to watch.

Mighty fine job catchin them beavers. Do y'all lean more towards beaver trappin or hog trappin?
A “Tank” or a Toad” are really Accurate Descriptions. Don’t you Wonder 🤔 what those Big Boys Weigh ? WOWSers! 👍🙏
That’s dedication. Also looks fairly dangerous. You probably should have someone with you when the water up and raging. Be careful out there🙏
Those waders fill up it’s no joke
Wow! 😮😳😳😳Well done, David!
Beautiful bunch of beavers!
Luv the footage very informative thanks so much
Thank you
Boy David those are some big beavers keep doing a great job just stay safe keep taking your beautiful wife out to eat God Bless you and ALL you do
