Another great video. @20:00, between the springs not through the eye of the spring. Im thinking you do this so the stick can be just between the corners of the jaws. I find it is easier than going through the spring eyes. Makes a rock solid set.
Scott I always see canine tracks around your beaver houses, how can you keep from setting them too??😮 ps. I'm about 2 hrs west of you in brainerd and we have had lots of fur and traps stolen this year 😢. Any trouble by you??
Could you make a oversized colony trap (aka a box trap) and put in a beaver run or is that illegal ? I guess the size of it to work would make it a pain to drag out (bulky) but wondered if it's been tried, ?
Can you add a mink set to the outside of the hole you punched in the hut with a 120 or 160 over the filled in depression (leaving a pocket so the mink thinks it's a hole to go into ) ?
Do beavers and muskrats actually clean the lakes instead of "destroy"? They are a part of the natural ecosystems are they not? What else would they be there for? Human pleasure to hunt for fun, "tradition" and maybe a little profit? Whose lake is it actually anyway??? DEEP THOUGHTS
Not as deep thoughts as you think, in fact they are all very easily answered questions. You just need to look into the subject matter and gather knowledge instead of just having emotions about it.
Beaver are the only thing that can change the landscape other than Man. They can turn a little creek into a giant lake. They are truly Engineers strategically damming the water where its most efficient. Muskrats make holes in earthen dams or actually tunnels do not know exactly what they are useful for.
Thanks you so much for the hour of beaver and muskrat trapping. It was worth every penny on this slow nite at work
I sure enjoy your muskrat and beaver video's Scott thanks for sharing them with us!

That stop loss you bought back in '93 is just 1 year younger than me. It's celebrating 30+ years of catches!

That was for Scott, I'm not good with electronics 😅
@@silasberry-pq6fi it's all good! No harm no foul
I know they're probably not worth much, but I love seeing you guys trap inside those muskrat huts. So cool.
Awesome as usual Scott 😁👍
Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge
Nice job fella.
Congrats on the catches!!! Catch'em Up!!
I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Great job !
Hey man, what do you have on the end of your cable's on your conibears to secure them to a branch or whatnot.
It's just an adjustment loop with an aluminum stopper
Cool thanks for the response.
Love your channel.
So you get how much per beaver? Have you made anything with your most previous blanket beaver catch?
Good job !
I really enjoy your Videos
Stay safe
Just happened to log on to Yawt Yawt for the heck of it and he gave a shout out to you about wiring your safety clips
Hey 330, question for you how far from a damn on a river will you find a beaver’s bank den?
I've actually trapped a den around 50ft from the top of this dam a few years back
Could you make a oversized colony trap (aka a box trap) and put in a beaver run or is that illegal ? I guess the size of it to work would make it a pain to drag out (bulky) but wondered if it's been tried, ?
Depends, illegal where I am to live trap beaver unless it's approved by the state. Pretty much everything has been tried at some point by someone.
I'm curious to know what the reasoning is behind the no chopping policy on the rat feed piles in some states.
Can you add a mink set to the outside of the hole you punched in the hut with a 120 or 160 over the filled in depression (leaving a pocket so the mink thinks it's a hole to go into ) ?
I like the angle of the dangle part because that's screwed me over you have to feel for the angle the run is coming into the bank
great asome video
I'd love to find arm length gloves 2x I've been looking if you have any place please let me know
👍
Did you and Tony ever get the cookies from the guy? And were they good?!?
Will a beaver snare work for coyotes
I think it would, a snare is a snare
Is trap theft really that bad up there?
👍🏻😎🇺🇸
Naa the hut is the way to go at it
Why don't you sell some of the beaver pelts in your store
Do you ever make skinning videos
I have a few of them out. RUclips doesn't like them because of the blood and such so I haven't made one in a while

Also the beaver feed piles create habitat for minnows and larger fish.
