As a licensed trapper of over 35 years ot makes me so so happy to see Houston learning about trapping and land management. God bless and have a ton of safe fun young man!!
Absolutely 💯
You have to protect your property and livestock. The people that don't like seeing you trap are the people that haven't ever lived somewhere that had livestock. You do what you have to do to take care of your homestead and livestock. Love you guys and all that you do
Congratulations on your trapping harvest. Continued successes!
@@jamespoteet499he's not just doing it to do it. Daniel said the main reason is to help the turkey population in his area. Predators like raccoons are decimating the wild turkey nests (they nest on the ground) to the point where their numbers have decreased in his area. They are just trying to help rebuild the wild turkey population by eliminating some of their biggest predators.
People who don't live on farms, have to realize, that other WILD animals carry diseases. Right down to even the smallest of rodents. For instance...Get bit by a raccoon....u may get rabies. Get bit by a possum....u may get Ecoli,..or bird flu., because possums are known to eat land bound birds such as quail, chickens, quineas, ducks, even turkeys and may spread a disease. The possum eats the eggs or the small birds. Every disease trickles down from one animal to another. JUST LIKE IN HUMANS!..The raccoons eats the eggs and the small birds and even the larger birds. Then the bigger animals come along and eat them. Then the even bigger ones come along and them! It's just a continuous cycle.
Seems to me that....Maybe the government should be paying closer attention to the physical well-beings of the wildlife. Research wise. ( Maybe blood work drawn at every reported kill in hunting seasons)...(.as far as, legally hunting wildlife)! That's obviously been a huge question in what brought COVID about.
I know that would be a big problem for legal hunters but....
But..That's a price I would be willing to pay. WOULD U!??
It’s a art that not many younger children do. Its so nice that you have the time to learn together.
I'm a kid I do trapping
I was quite impressed at the number of kids that were there to learn the art.
You are doing great protecting the wild turkey population as well as the animals on your property. Well done to Houston for placing the raccoons down gently even though the are dead. May your new adventure go from strength to strength and may your dreams come true
I really like the things you do with Houston . He seems to really thrive on it all. Good Dad.
I love how we're getting to learn from Houston's learning, and I love how Houston learns. He takes it in so well, and he seems great at then explaining what he's learned. This new adventure is gonna be fun. Appreciate you sharing this with us. Merry Christmas to the Arms Family!
Good for you, Huston🎉.
Good luck on the Trap line👍!
JO JO IN VT 🎅💞
I'm still a licensed nuisance trapper for the State of Georgia, I prefer marshmallows for raccoons, but sometimes use cheetos
i meant to say up lol
I’m glad Houston is learning trapping skills. 👍👍♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Way to go with learning the trapping. My husband and son use to do trapping. Lots of precious FAMILY MEMORIES!
Im from the UK and am finding your hunting and trapping videos informative. I could have scrolled past but so glad I didnt. Definately more informed.
Also uk London I love their videos especially seeing Houston and the difference in his life compared to my own 11 year old. His out climbing trees and rolling in mud but hunting and trapping is a whole different world. Kind of makes me wonder if my children would have what it takes. Merry Christmas 😊
Traditions that need to be carried forward! Good on you Danial! You are a Good Dad!
I’m 66 years old and started trapping when I was 12… there have been periods when I was too busy but I always have had traps. In all those years nothing worked better for me than the Hawbaker baits and lures. I tried a lot of brands and always came back. I wish Houston the best of luck. I never invested in dog-proof traps. But it appears to be the way to go.
Great to see you teaching your son trapping the right way and animal control/ conservation. Merry Christmas and stay strong.
This video was excellent. It demonstrated how Houston was able to attend a camp that most cildren do not have an opportunity to attend. He obviously learned a lot about trapping and his dad keeps emphasizing the importance of why trapping might be necessary. There are many learning outcomes that can occur from the trapping activity. I look forward to seeing other videos that show the progress Houston makes with trapping and what he learns.
Trapping is one of the oldest and greatest way of hunting. This is good for Huston god bless AFH
Houston, beeing part of the crew will be an invaluable memory to show to your grand childrens
very cool how Huston learned -and teaches now.
It’s fun to watch Houston’s growth and development. He is on purpose.
Great job, Houston. Learning as you go will help give you the experience that you need to accomplish the knowledge of trapping.
It is so good to see Houston trapping, hunting, fishing and growing up to be a great American!
A very Merry Christmas to the entire Arms family! Hope you have a very joyous day!
This is a great learning video for anyone wanting to know more!!!!❤❤❤❤
18:00 That "race" with Charlie was too funny. Well, not the race itself but, the fact that it took you honking your horn to get Charlie willing to run with you.
Great to see a young man learning how to trap. Keep it up Daniel raising your kids right. I’m proud of you for Houston.
I’m so happy you’re teaching him to do it right and safely ❤
I love Houston’s new interest fur trapping sounds like a good idea for him and you, and you’ll both learn something.
You did a great job. You are protecting your land and the fish and your chickens.
Goodafternoon Dan & Houston!
This is so wonderful of you teaching Houston how to trap wild animals, and let them go elsewhere!😊😊😊
Huston is a great kid 😂I know you’re so proud of him😅
It’s so good to see country kids outside enjoying themselves fishing hunting all outdoor activities. Then all the sports instead sitting inside on a phone iPad playing video games all day. 😁😊🙏🙋♀️😳😉🇨🇦
Thank you Daniel, and Houston for sharing. Can't wait till you get some coyote, or bobcat traps to try. Love the content. Be Safe, and God Bless! Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
You call Houston Weston sometimes welcome to your forties.. I’m 42. Cheers. God bless.
I’m a trapper and suggest you paint your dog proof traps white, it makes the raccoons curious as well as easier for you to see. Also when baiting them put enough bait to cover the trigger. Good luck on catching some fur!!!
What if the bait gets wet and freezes???I heard Daniel mention that with using tuna fish as bait, that's why I asked. I'm assuming your just SOL since you check them every day....
Thank. You my. Name. Is. Don. Williams I. Missed. Seeing. How. You. All. Deal. With. All your. Animals. Very. Good. Danial you. Are. A. Great
Steward. Of. The. Land. Thank. You. Mr.don. williams
Merry Christmas to all of the family. Trapping is part of owning livestock to keep you and your animals safe, good luck Houston.
Houston I'm proud of you to learn trapping bits Important to me your Dad is amazing at tons of things to learn .
I think it's pretty cool. You are teaching your son something that used to be a common thing from the old days .
Awesome job teaching everyone about nature, where our food comes from, the cycle of life.
Yall do you, thanks for including us into your daily lives and activities.. don't listens to the haters or Karen's, there is always gonna be some.. Another point in this trapping besides Houston learning , is Dan is spending even more time with his kids.. And that's reason enough to do it.. not that dad doesn't spend enough time, but this is another hobby etc that he gets to enjoy with his son!! Awesome values being taught..
Merry Christmas to the Arms Family. Thank you for always remembering to share Jesus with us! Saying a prayer for you today that you continue to see health and happiness. It sure is fun to watch Houston learn. He has a very mature brain! He’s interested in things well beyond his years. I love that you meet him where he is Dad and are ready and willing to be there for him no matter the new goal or challenge. Heartwarming to watch. You two make a great team. Best buddies ❤😊. Wishing you the best Christmas 🎄
I enjoyed watching Houston learn trapping.
Hes very good and his eyes light up with this project.
Heres to catching a Bob Cat..👍
Houston, my granddad used to be a big time trapper and my dad did as your dad is teaching you. You have to protect the wildlife on your homestead and you need to know what needs to be taken off your land. Always remember to work closely with your game warden. I’m very proud of you and your dad to protect your land.
Love this!! My grandpa taught me how to use traps & the basics when I was 8 years old. I think all young men should know this skill 😎
You have to do what is necessary for your property and the environment you live in and your doing it humanly and teaching Houston the right way to do it…
Great to see a youngster getting started with trapping. Quick hint, especially if going after coyotes, bobcats, basically anything you are going to be using a coil spring foot hold on, make sure you get those traps boiled, dyed good, and waxed. Will make a huge difference in your success The boiling and dying process kills all scent on the trap, and a quick dip in wax helps them fire faster, especially in partially frozen ground. Never touch the traps with bare skin after you have them ready to go, always wear gloves the entire time you are on the set. Super-Pro tip: Get your foothold traps laminated. This process of welding a 1/4" or 3/16" steel rod on top of each jaw effectively thickens the jaws, increasing the surface area and holding strength, and decreasing the chance of breaking the skin or bones.
You got this, Houston!
🎄🤶🏻🤯‼️
Merry Christmas Arms Family
🇺🇸❤️🎄‼️
I love seeing you try to keep the environment in balance by your hunting and trapping. Also helping keep your babies safe.
I love it when parents get involved in training their children to hunt and trap. My younger sister and I trapped gophers and our local township used to pay us. Now, being 64, I have gophers that keep popping up. I do have traps, but no interest in trapping those horrible rodents. I got a bit girly-girl, icky feeling them as I grew up. Keep training Houston and EmmaLee in hunting, it will be skills that will always remain with them.
Great video. As an old farm girl, we didn't trap. We shot one way or the other. Houston I'm proud of you're learning old heritage ways.
You do what you need to do to make your property better 😊
I agree with catching to protect and prevent loss of stock and cull over breeding ❤❤
Thanks for the video and helping educate people that have no experience with nature and the outdoors. Have a good one guy's,take care and God Bless!!!❤😊
I'm glad you're teaching Houston how to trap and hunt off the land. If other parties would take the time with their kids and teach them and spend quality time with their kids at that age, maybe we would have less trouble teens. Thank you for the great video. God bless and Marry Christmas.
Congrats Houston! I’m glad you are trying something different and helping out the eco system. Daniel love that you are using Cameraman Ron’s ending 👍🏻♥️
My grandpa used to be a trapper I think it’s wonderful younger generation is learning.
Another great educational video Daniel and Houston! Thanks for the blast from the past saying:
Tan your hide
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us Arms family 👍
Thank you for letting me take a picture with you at the airport.
I love watching all of your videos. I learn something new with every one of your videos. I am glad to watch Houston as he learns the old ways of being self-sufficient. He will never go hungry in the future, provided there is game for him to harvest. I truly believe he will become a great teacher in the future, where he will be passing on his survival skills and his vast knowledge. Thank you for thoroughly explaining the ins and outs of hunting, fishing, and trapping, especially why it is so important and necessary to control the predators on your all of your properties and in your area.
Merry Christmas Daniel, DJ, and all of yours, hope it’s safe and special🎄🎄🎄
Once he gets some hides let him learn and try to tan his own hide. Its a craft that has disapeared but man it is so fun and so rewarding.
First I think it’s awesome that you are taking care of Wildlife on your property. Second, it’s been awesome to follow Houston’s different interests. Third but not least getting my dose of Charlie. As I heal watching you and SSF has helped a lot. Sending prayers love and hugs. Merry Christmas to Animals and Humans.
Yep, an episode without at least a glimpse of Charlie almost feels empty afterwards. And even growing up on a large farm I always thought it was a waste of time and money to have something like an emu on the farm. Now, I can't think there could be a more enjoyable, entertaining, non-house pet on a farm.
Charlie is the man, or girl, or whatever, nevermind.
Hello Arm’s Family. Your waterfall looks beautiful. The thought of trapping can be cruel when done wrong but with more clinics like what you went to will teach people how to do it right. Trapping is a way of protecting your animals and controlling the population of predators.
Houston good luck with your trapping. You will look good in a coon skin cap and every hunter and trapper needs one..lol. Can’t wait to see what you catch and who wins the bet.
With DeJay being a photographer, the mono scope would be a great tool for her to use for getting nighttime animal photos. Kids these days don’t know what it means to tan their hides. I would like to wish Daniel, DeJay,
Weston, Emmalee, Houston, and all the animals a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May GOD Bless You and Your Family.
If Houston ever want to sell his furs I'd buy for him. Have a blessed evening and take care.
Hunting, fishing, and trapping has been going on for centuries. It's sad that people don't know about American History. Keep doing what you want. Merry Christmas, God Bless y'all. John V. Michigan
Bear was like "I'm sleeping dude, the tail wag is all your getting!" 😂
You’re not being cruel and I believe the ecosystem needs healing so you are doing good work keep it up
Ah, I've had my hide tanned... once or twice... or more! It took several trips to the woodshed for me to learn some important life facts. Sadly, something most kids don't learn anymore. Good show, guys!
Houston is a quick learner. Taking a hands-on trapping course was a great idea! Lucky you can guide Houston, Daniel. Happy holidays, Arms Family, from the beautiful Texas Hill Country. 🎄🎁🌟❤
Congrats Houston I think it’s great you want to learn how to trap. We taught my son and our nephew to trap. It’s good helps the farmers and controls the population
It’s great Houston is getting into what his ancestors lived on. I’m 💯 for it and can’t wait for all the upcoming videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years from the Callbeck family in eastern Canada 🇨🇦 Prince Edward Island
I appreciate Houston’s love and respect for nature. You’re doing an amazing job dad!! Merry Christmas Arms Family 🙏
Nice job Houston on your first time setting traps on the property.
😊Fantastic Houston is a Great young man Mr Dan and Ms Arms your children are super ans Mr Jp
dka
My Dad and Brothers trapped. They made their own pellet stretchers out of heavy plywood. They made good money when we were kids. I remember them waking up early every morning before school to make trap runs. I miss those days. We also had homing pigeons and raced them so I spent a lot of time traveling with them and fishing and checking traps. ❤️
Daniel and Houston,
This is a practical way to manage property and all wildlife on it.
Left out of balance some species do virtually disappear, definitely don't thrive, other species are prone to have disease & hunger cause them do poorly. It is virtually impossible to remove all of the targeted species. However the ones that remain, are generally healthy and definitely pulls pressure of the quail/turkeys and etc so they can have a healthy population.
God asked us to manage his creation. If I was to keep too many pets/livestock, they won't thrive as well...in the same way... unmanaged wildlife eventually suffer from poor management.
This is a Healthy and very Ethical thing you are teaching your son. It will continue to encourage a healthy respect for the wildlife in your son. Seen it happen.
Many times those that enjoy harvesting also have a love for the beauty in wildlife as well.
Merry Christmas! 😊
I enjoyed trapping when I was much younger, back when I was getting $60-65 for an otter, 45-50 for a red fox, but bobcats were going for up to $400. Bobcats still get pretty good price. I hope Houston has great success in his new adventure.
You guys have a MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎅🏼☃🎚🎁
Congratulations Houston! Way to balance the ecosystem on your property. Merry Christmas Arms family!!🎄🎁☃️💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
That is amazing you guys!! For the people that don’t agree with it, I’m sorry but this is the way of life. Your ancestors did this stuff. This dates back to the beginning of time and it will continue until the end of time. Like he said and has said many many times, if this is something that you do t want to see then don’t watch. I grew up trapping with my daddy. Not just for the hides but learned how to survive if something ever happened and were lost. And in today’s world you better be prepared on how to survive if s*!t goes down. I’m 63 and have been taught so much growing up on a farm, learning to hunt, learning to trap etc. I have taught my kids and grandkids things as they grew up. It’s just life and I love that he is teaching his kids how to survive.
I love Huston's enthusiasm and passion for hunting and trapping . He has Native American roots and it shows . I'm proud of him for wanting to get outside instead of sitting mindlessly in front of screens waisting his childhood away . If more kids would get outside and exercise America wouldn't have such a terrible problem with childhood obesity and other ailments that go along with it . Just my opinion y'all before you come after me take a good hard look at yourselves and your families !
God Bless y'all Arm's Family Homestead , to thine own self be true . 💯🙏❤🇺🇲
None of us country people have a problem. Love what you are doing. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
People don’t realize that y’all are being more humane to the raccoons than they are too their prey,good work Houston
Good for you guys. It is good to see younger people out doors
I think it’s awesome that you are teaching these skills to your son! Any rational person after listening to your explanation for doing it can’t argue with the common sense. Also these are vicious creatures and will destroy livestock as well as messing with your property and keeping the Turkey population nonexistent. God bless ya’ll and I think it’s awesome what you are doing and this is coming from a city gal that has never shot or killed anything in her life and likely never will. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
Go Houston do what you love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Merry Christmas Arms Family Homestead.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤣
Excellent !! way to go Houston !!! Daniel , your a good man / dad
I bring my boys trapping often, one of our favorite outdoor fun. Learned to put them up and even tanned some mink and otter.
Nice...Glad to see he actually caught something on his first time out.
Only because I don’t know, not a trapper, when you shoot an animal that you’ve trapped, where do you shoot them so that you don’t mess up the hide and that it kills them instantly.
I think Houston is an amazing young man, and has a great opportunity to learn with you Daniel . Merry Christmas to all of you and of course the animals.
you rock houston i like your style for learning
Way to go, Houston!
Our ancestry, trapped and hunted to live on. There’s nothing wrong with it and carrying it forward and teaching your children is a wonderful thing. Well done nice video.
Thank you for teaching Houston all
Hi..,.. thanks you for showing your video homestead BYE 👋 BYE 👋 BYE 👋 BYE 👋 👍👍👍
First time i heard Grow Jack Outdoors say he got a bobcat i was upset he would trap a bobcat..Why would you do that? Then he explained why and as much as I hated it, it made sense and I loved how he explained the reason behind trapping them and that's the same with you and Houston. Always explaining why you're doing what you're doing. You're educating people that don't know and I love that. Thank you very much and have a merry merry Christmas!
Good evening from Syracuse NY and it's good to learn those skills my friends and Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year everyone
Brandon and Leighton Eddy do trapping as well. I am happy that Houston is learning the correct way so you can do it together. Merry Christmas to you all.
Congrats Houston. You are certainly growing up quick. You handled yourself well for a beginner. Merry Christmas to all and God’s Blessings
A few years ago, Grow Jack posted a video of setting his traps, and when he was sifting the dirt on it, it snapped. Took him a minute or two to recover from that startle😋
We learn along with you and Houston ❣️
Hello Daniel and family MERRY CHRISTMAS
