Yessir I agree with using body grip traps for meat collection. I've caught bunches of squirrels in the 110's I have set in runs. I like to anchor any of my traps really well to keep a large animal from coming along and carrying away my trapped animal and my trap with it. Had coyotes and grey fox carry away gophers in a trap along with my trap, and other varmints took squirrels caught in 110's. Most recently a redtail tried to fly away with my squirrel and trap, but it was wired down pretty good and tore up the squirrel but couldn't take the trap. Yes, spend a couple of extra dollars and get the better traps. A while back I bought another dozen of the cheapest 110's and set em aside, and when I got to the point of using a couple, the welds on the frame part broke and they're unusable until I get to where I can tack them back together. Don't forget to buy a couple of replacement triggers for whatever body grip traps you buy. The wires will eventually get broken off. Just a couple of minutes to replace. Thanks for another great trapping video. Looking forward to many more
Hey Dave, do you think there would be a market for old style traps made with new materials? Weight surely is a factor when setting up a trap line, I imagine if you could get the same trap for half the weight they might be worth considering.
I had to buy a cage trap for a raccon in my soffit channel. I set it to get ready for the next morning placing the snack in a bag daggling above the trip plate. Well well well, I wakr up the next morning and the little guy was already in there. I took it to the park. Problem gone.
That's great for the northern climate zones. But us southern boys often find the game spoiled by the time we get to the animal. Due to the hot climate. I often use live traps or foot hold traps. The only time I will use conibears is for nuisance trapping. If it is for meat. Then it is foot hold traps or box traps. Live meat never spoils.
I appreciate the connibear videos but cant understand the fascination with the depression era. Oddly enough in the depression the region i live in was booming being a major mining district.
As a teenager, I trapped for several years in southern Colorado. My Dad, also trapped Beaver, I was going for muskrat. Learned to skin stretch and prepare for hide buyer. Used steel traps and conibears. Bought my first car with the proceeds. Lots of stories during trapping. Did not do any of the things you do. But…was very successful. Trapping is no longer leagal in CO., but I concur with that decision. Df
I don’t know about Ohio but in Pennsylvania it’s illegal to set a conabear trap out of the water for any trapping purposes. Has to be submerged in water.
For a lot of States it depends on the size of the conibear. The larger ones are often not allowed on land but smaller ones often are, but check your local rules.
It’s a shame primitive traps are not allowed in so many places I think primitive trapping is a legacy that needs to be preserved
Thanks Dave. Great instructional video. The conibear is my favorite trap.
Still, one of the best channels out there. Always great content & well presented.
What a great video. Thanks for the ideas... You will not go hungry using conibear traps.
Liked the video. Always fun to set traps.
Between a conibear and a #1 long spring I trapped so much. Appreciate your videos 🤙
I love these type of videos. Thanks for sharing
Love trapping videos! Best time of the year!
Loving this series!

Thanks Dave.
I'm still using a 5 gal bucket. Gotta upgrade sometime.

Guaranteed possum for supper. Go getem boys

Great stuff! Need to know things that your Dad didn't teach you!
Interesting

Where can I buy those H stands and trap bases? I am just learning to trap...
F&T
What does everybody use to compress springs on a 120 or 160 conibear if you cant compress it by hand?
🙂👍
@davecanterbury can you recommend a place to get those trap stands...
F&T
@@DavidCanterburyNever even seen a trap before so that how much a newbie I am. What's F&T? Thank you
How can i learn more about those useful types of traps?
Yah David that trap is not going anywhere until sticky fingers come along. The worst the economy the more sticky fingers you have.
I got nailed by a 120 a couple weeks ago. It got my middle finger and ring finger. I’m shocked it didn’t break my finger
I like the wool jacket. Brand on that?
Where can I find those trap stands? All I can find is the vertices type, not the flat ones.

Hi Dave, can 110/120 conibear trap kill a python (Florida Python)?
I bet it will
Conibear traps or illegal in my state with exception of water sets for beavers.
As a teenager, I trapped for several years in southern Colorado. My Dad, also trapped Beaver, I was going for muskrat. Learned to skin stretch and prepare for hide buyer. Used steel traps and conibears. Bought my first car with the proceeds. Lots of stories during trapping. Did not do any of the things you do. But…was very successful.

Trapping is still legal in Colorado. Whether you agree with it or not .
I don’t know about Ohio but in Pennsylvania it’s illegal to set a conabear trap out of the water for any trapping purposes. Has to be submerged in water.
Sorry for ya, not the case in Ohio
For a lot of States it depends on the size of the conibear. The larger ones are often not allowed on land but smaller ones often are, but check your local rules.
If you think you're going to feed yourself trapping, you'd better hope you're mobile and not everyone has the same idea.
Thanks Dave
