    Very informative videos. I am 63 and just started trapping here in Alaska. I got my first Martin yesterday. I now feel that I can properly skin and dry my pelts without ruining them. Keep up the good work.

    Jim seems like a great guy that takes pride in what he does. Good luck at the auction william.

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  12 лет назад

    Jim has the mixture down to a science. Proportions, temp, moisture, timing & so on. Great when it works but you wouldn't want to damage any pelts. Pretty cool to have one all the same, all the best ..William

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  12 лет назад

    The difference in the pelts from before & after is amazing. Thank's, I'm sure Jim appreciates it ..!!

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  12 лет назад

    Right on that's good, i'm just about to 90 now, their slowing down now gives extra couple days between checks ..!!

    Was great to see it done, the pelts look amazing after drummed ..!!

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  12 лет назад

    You welcome, I believe Jim use to dry his foxes that way, fur side out with tubes of warm air blowed inside the pelt, probably it has to do with numbers. In the vid new marten boxes I give the dimentions of the pieces & I used 18 gague, 1 1/4 staples to fasten together, that staple gun is great for this. Thank you for the feedback,appreciate it & i'm sure Jim does to ..!!

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  12 лет назад

    Yes this is great for me because I get to spend more time on the trapline & sometimes I get back in the evening & might get a phone call & could be gone for a few days so makes things more manageable, my line would be much shorter if not for this setup ..!!

  • @TheKentuckyWoodsman
    @TheKentuckyWoodsman 7 лет назад +1

    That's some beautiful fur. You sure caught alot of them!!
    Even though our raccoon and Coyote get thick fur here in Kentucky, we don't get but a few dollars per pelt- Last year was $3 for Raccoon, and around $5 for Coyote but this year there's no market for southern fur. I still like to trap them though for predator control to help out the game animals I hunt.
    Great job trapping my friend!

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  12 лет назад

    Thank you & You welcome, appreciate it ..!!

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  12 лет назад

    Got about 145 out at the moment, soon gonna take a few up. Heavy competition from other trappers so got quiet a few traps out ..lol

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  12 лет назад

    Thank you, Jim's a pro at this if there's such a thing ..lol thank's again, man the drum sure puts the finishing touches to the fur, looks amazing when Jim's finished with it ..!!

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  12 лет назад

    Thank's man, yes the small ones comes right out but the major ones is best to leave them alone, may do more damage than good. Not a 100 but getting up there, good $ foresure. I'll have a keen interest in the auction foresure ..lol Thank's again ..!!

  • @holdengr
    @holdengr 12 лет назад

    So do you get billed for drumming of your furs by FHA like I do or do you pay Jim direct. I cant imagine I get the custom touch you get having Jim drum your fur.
    Great video again.

  • @johannemartel9662
    @johannemartel9662 11 лет назад

    @charlesmanning2523 9 лет назад +1

      @Biglandtrapper  9 лет назад

      +Charles Manning Thank you, was over Jim's today (fur master) a lot of fur coming in today, every one getting their fur in for the March auction. One fellow 82 years of age came in with 22 marten I think it was, tough feller, stills gets around in the bush, hope I'm that good ah shape at that age ...lol

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  12 лет назад

    Hard to say how the auction will go, I expects that it'll be good all the same ..!!

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  11 лет назад

    Sure is, Jim has many many years of experience handling fur, as a former trapper & fur farmer he know what it takes to get top returns from your catch, appreciate it & i'm certain Jim does to ..!!

  • @tiredtrucker4life
    @tiredtrucker4life 11 лет назад

    Thanks William! I'm going to hunt one of these down for sure. I have a very early Garmin model, but it doesn't compare to whats out there now and besides, on this old one, if the batteries go dead or you change batteries, all the info is lost!

    Are the furs you are drumming already tanned?

    • @Biglandtrapper
      @Biglandtrapper  6 лет назад

      No they go to the auction like this, its up to the buyer if he wants to tan them or not....

  • @devenmason2570

    wow 90?how many traps do u usually use

  • @TheUltimateAngler
    @TheUltimateAngler 11 лет назад

    Thanks for the great information but what do you do if you don't have the availability of a drum what you do then?

    • @Biglandtrapper
      @Biglandtrapper  11 лет назад

      You can send your fur to the auction house not drummed, it does not have to be drummed to ship, they get a lot of fur that way ..!!

    • @TheUltimateAngler
      @TheUltimateAngler 11 лет назад

      I live in southern ontario how would i keep the fur without drumming it

    • @Biglandtrapper
      @Biglandtrapper  11 лет назад

      If I was going to keep fur for display for a lengthy period of time I would get it tanned...For drumming I heard tell of people using a old cloths dryer & sawdust, can't see why it would not be somewhat effective ..!!!

  • @midnightfighter501

  • @Biglandtrapper
    @Biglandtrapper  12 лет назад

    Thank's, he sure does, the pelts are right soft when they come's outta the drum, you wouldn't be apply to shake them like that normally, made my head turn to when I first seen it ..lol
