I'm not anti trapping (hell I'm anti beaver),but these are not good videos. No story arc, no pacing, no b roll, repetitious. He's a good trapper, not a good videographer, not a good editor. I've watched 3, I'm outta here.
That coat you found was from the remains of the last trapper that pissed the beaver off. No worries you caught the Beaver!! 🤣👍..you are the Beaver Master Trapper. :)
Man, I wasn't going to set for beaver anymore this year, but now I might go check out a few spots in the morning and possibly set a lodge or two... Thanks... Haha
Great job! I put in 5 traps today in a spot that looks just like the one I just watched, but I'm in indiana. Can't wait for morning, my first check. Set them 330 Maniac style!
Friend of mine has a small stream /pond on her property and had beavers move she was tickled pink to have beavers on her property . Not to long after she noticed that all the trees were being made into a dam
Didn’t even have to buy a drink to catch that beaver! Well done! Some say the smaller beaver is better. I like a nice big beaver myself, they tend to stay damp longer, you should eat the beaver. I hear that’s a good thing, I hear your liking the beaver too, especially the big one got got
Great video. Wow, pretty hardcore beaver trapping, no messing around. I have a beaver in a lodge that has sprung my 330's at the entrances twice. Not quite sure how it's doing it, no sticks in the traps. Maybe you know. Anyhow, I'm going to put a couple drowners on the dam, not enough depth around the house. I caught a beaver on one of Kirk's muskrat floats the other day. It was a freak'in miracle. Thanks for all the great tips.
i have a huge beaver problem at my cabin in northern michigan. i bought a trap. but after watching you videos. Im learning so much! if you lived closer i would just let you trap them all! lol
Another great video, thanks for sharing 👍. I never trapped beaver after ice locked up, think I've been missing out. I like the drowning sets off the lodge.
After watching this video and one of yer other ones I am glad I invested in the MB750 for slide rigs, Cant wait till spring comes and I can toss these out on my traplines here in Ontario
Those beaver are educated on traps so their gonna mud in their access and make another. Trapper J uses footholds and drowning rods for beaver and he catches them all the time using that setup.
I just discovered your channel. I lived in a semi rural community in upstate new york for a couple years in my teens. Some of my friends trapped muskrat in the creeks nearby. This was back in 1964-67. Is there still a market for furs anymore? I would have thought animal rights activists decreased demand. I am enjoying the outdoors in your videos, thanks for sharing.
U Guys did good on this one. Got to admire ya'll trapping in cold weather thru the ice. Doesn't seem to bother U at all. Anyway, enjoy watching you trapping. Now do you skin them yourself?
To save a little money i save the castors out of beaver I've caught and grind it in a old blender. Add some glycerin to keep from freezing. It'll work as good as about anything else. (Don't use in same place as caught.)
I'm not sure if you check comments but.. I've trapped for years and seen a lot of drowning rods. I've always used wire but the rods are interesting me lately. I'm in Missouri with Sandy rocky bottoms in several rivers and creeks. I get all the concepts of the rod and building them. By chance do you or are you willing to make a quick video for people like me to explain the drowning rod and what bottoms do and don't work with them? Thank you and great videos.
Beavers in my pond are strange and unique. instead of increasing water level they constantly drop it. These pests almost drained my pond, they had dug holes in the dam and ripped it off, so water fled away to a ditch.
How many size in the 330 traps? There several brand and numbers but still under the 330 trap. And those are under water animals why would they get drown from foot trap?
330 is the size, and foothold traps are attached to a rod or cable so that when the beaver get caught in the foothold they naturally want to dive into the water and can’t come back up since there is a one way cable or rod slide that holds them underwater, drowning them
I don't have nearly the experience trapping that Scott does, but I'm a hardcore duck hunter and a casual beaver trapper. I beat waders up pretty badly to a point that they also only last a year. I used to think that I had to spend $350+ on a top notch set of waders. No one ever accused me of being a genius though, so after 15 years or so, I finally decided that I was wasting my money and I bought a $109 pair of waders from rogers sporting goods under their store brand name. What do you know? For the first time, I had a pair of waders get me though two years. Not only that, but as of now, I survived duck season and they are still going! Unless the early 2021 beaver season does them in, then they'll start the 2021 duck season in October for year #3. Best waders I ever bought!
Maybe you either need to get a fish lens, a better camera or one on your chest and one on your forehead to get better shots. There’s a lot of footage that is missed because your camera is facing a different angle.
Do you ever sell your beavers whole without skinning? I’ve never trapped before I’m just interested in the market side of it as far as what brings the most value. I was reading on some different fur buyer sites that some places buy carcasses as well as skins.
Yeah I can tell you what the problem is as they wait for it to go so long before they call someone cuz they're worried about the price that's why all these damn I just have that damage don't have over a month but I tried fever for 20 years easy and it just gets worse and worse cuz either people don't go and check it out or they're worried about the money and it ain't the problem will just go away but it never does
Why? Why do you get to tell other people how to talk? I like when people comment but can you please refrain from telling everyone else how to talk? It just isn't necessary.

Great video, the coat was weird and the Racoon. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching man!
With that many 1year old beavers,a stud Male bread 2 females! Great video. Nice work
Greetings from Germany. Great video. Wish I could go for the beavers here in Germany. Keep them vids coming.
Thanks for watching!
Very productive day brother! Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Man those last two were some big dudes. Great job, got to go get some beaver soon, giving me the fever big time. Lol. Al
Thanks Al!!

Thx for video's I have not trapped very long anything I can learn is a plus love spring beaver havnt done winter don't want to fall in
Beaver is good eating. Especially the tail.
My uncle tells me every damn day it taste like roast beef potatoes carrots and onion never tried it
I like to add a chunk of castor to my coffee and bourbon
nice frog swam away from the lodge :)
Good video. I learned some things. I did not know beavers would dig a den in the bank like a muskrat.
As a fellow Trapper that was a great video. It'll be interesting to see if you get any more when you come back and trap it again.
Thanks! I'm also very curious.

Thanks bud!

Bearded man's beaver lure is only lure we use. Awesome lure
Great video. Awesome catches!
Thanks Spicer!
After watching this video and one of yer other ones I am glad I invested in the MB750 for slide rigs, Cant wait till spring comes and I can toss these out on my traplines here in Ontario
Good luck! They are awesome traps!
super awesome vid. thank you!

Great job. I enjoyed my trapping. Got myself a pelt and a couple skulls from my short time. Thanks for sharing your work.
Those beaver are educated on traps so their gonna mud in their access and make another. Trapper J uses footholds and drowning rods for beaver and he catches them all the time using that setup.
Yep its my go to setup for almost any trap shy beaver. If that doesn't work ill use snares to get them. Trapper J is a fantastic trapper!
@@330Maniac im hoping to be able to go out next year.
Love your videos
Thanks!
awesome video man!
Any time my trapping partner and I set a 330 on a single pole with a swivel stick we call it "Maniac Style". Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Should have caught that frog and used him for bait ice fishing. Great videos keep it up
Thanks!
Saw some frogs swimming around when were you setting up a few around the lodge. Wonder if the raccoon was out digging for a frog supper?
I'll bet that's what he was doing
fun to watch

Pounded em!
Good stuff! Let us know about the TrapperJ colab!

That Raccoon didn't go twenty.

Drowning rods are my go to. I do some pretty big jobs and if not totally iced in, its drowning rods with MB 750's.
They have definitely become my favorite as well!

Ya i know I've been trapping for only 53 years.
@@randym148 Then we already know Lol
try some enrager from clint locklear , it is awesome on castor mounds .
I might have to give it a shot. I was really impressed with the bearded man lure I used here. It had 100% catch rate

How do you find all you’re beavers I’m kinda new to it but I’m having a hard time finding beavers
I've seen that before when catch a smaller beaver the others will mud in the run right over the beaver that's caught.
Damn good video! Looks like a lot of fun.... hey what kinda pan tension are you running on your footholds?
Beavers in my pond are strange and unique. instead of increasing water level they constantly drop it. These pests almost drained my pond, they had dug holes in the dam and ripped it off, so water fled away to a ditch.
Did you happen to see that GFW I looking for beaver that have been caught under the ice. They are paying a little beater for them.
My fur buyers does as well
How much did the big end up weighing?
I didn't get a weight yet. But its still frozen in mt storage unit lol
We all are looking for beaver big or small take what you can get.
Did you get all of them?
Wonder how long it takes the animals to drown when they’re caught by the feet?
I took 17 beaver in two weeks out of one lodge with 3 traps
Just curious on what kind of fee it cost to rid the beaver off a property?
I charge 200 per beaver flat rate
Hey MaNiac can I use my offset coyote traps for beaver as well?

Was that a frog under the ice at 19:30 .
Are they dead by the time they are pulled out the water?
I see you run no pre load tention on your Ts 85 pan .is this tour normal set up?
Yes it is. Unless my pan feels really sloppy I don't mess with the tension
What size footholds you use brother ?
Bridger #5 and TS85s
Maybe you either need to get a fish lens, a better camera or one on your chest and one on your forehead to get better shots. There’s a lot of footage that is missed because your camera is facing a different angle.
It's crazy how you manhandle those 330s.... you make it look easy - it's not. nice vidoe
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY "BLANKET"? ARE YOU GOING TO PROCESS THEM? IF SO CAN YOU VIDEO ? ESPECIALLY IF YOU MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF THEM.

Yeah I can tell you what the problem is as they wait for it to go so long before they call someone cuz they're worried about the price that's why all these damn I just have that damage don't have over a month but I tried fever for 20 years easy and it just gets worse and worse cuz either people don't go and check it out or they're worried about the money and it ain't the problem will just go away but it never does
Are you pretty far south in mn?
No, I'm north
Maybe it was just the time it was uploaded, but around the 26th we had like 4 inches were we are. Nice vid
How expensive a pair of chest waders does a guy need ?
What's wrong with beavers being beavers?
They are causing about 20,000 dollars in damage to property
You like the TS 85’s more than MB 750’s?
I think the 750s are a stronger trap
@@330Maniac agreed
Hi I would like to request you that if you caught that beaver again can u please send me beaver right or left hand to me
Where those black beaver
No they weren't
:( why not capture them and take them to another place far from your land?
This isn't my land. It would cost thousands of dollars
Most states I've been around, mostly east coast, don't relocate beaver because they are already pretty much everywhere they can be.
please leave beaver alone
