@borealwhisperer6044 Thank you

@@owenminnesotaoutdoors9664 whenever i make a catch, it just feels great...

@@MimiT-l9z I eat them as well.

@quaileggsvermont Yep, hoping to get a couple videos made

Thank you

Always a great time on the Rainy

Congrats! Very glad to hear it. That's part of why I make the videos so others can go and do the same.

Not sure the exact model, but It's a cabelas brand trail cam, with regular white flash not IR, so you get color on night pics and video.

From about 3:50-9:40 I'm skinning.

I mean the initial cuts lo the very start :) I have a porcupine and mink in freezer@@owenminnesotaoutdoors9664

Why did he cut the video at 3:49

⁠@@owenminnesotaoutdoors9664 why did you cut the video at 3:49

Thanks. I get plenty of deer pics so they seem to be doing fine and have a stable population.

A bit north of floodwood.

I think fairly safe. Better than the lower, and alot better now than in the recent past.

Millelacs has good numbers. Sherburne they are around, but in low density pockets. So unless you get trail cam photos or are 100% certain of tracks Millelacs would be the better bet.

What do you do eat​@@dr.bergpensionado1005

How sad that you don't understand what the revenue from sportsmen does to protect our wildlife

@@deadnorth8333 So getting money by killing???? Doesnt sound too good.

Torturing animals is never respectable.

Very nice fish and low pressure on the St. Louis. Floodwood even says it's the catfish capital of MN

if you miss killing animals you are very cruel

Thank you, glad you enjoyed.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed watching. Just can't beat the north woods.

@@owenminnesotaoutdoors9664 no you cant! I have not experianced anything as good since i moved to southern Michigan

Very cool. Always amazing the experiences you can have when you're on your own.

@@owenminnesotaoutdoors9664 a part of that I didn't mention was the creek bank he went up was very steep. I couldn't go up where he did without a rope but he put a little power to it and went right up.

Thanks! Yeah snow made it a tough year. Good luck on the beaver!

@@dr.bergpensionado1005 you dont eat any food then ? no matter what you eat animals die

Thank you. Yeah great color on him for sure. We have strong population numbers, so I don't know why the season is so short. Definitely gets a lot of complaints.

@@owenminnesotaoutdoors9664 I just checked - in Wisconsin, the fisher trapping season is October 15th thru January 8th. Perhaps the MN DNR needs to move it's HQ out of Ramsey county into Beltrami

?

@Holger Awakens and Wisconsin has a lower population and limited draw tags for fisher. So yeah our short season is pretty wild.

Thank you. I'm about even with the cities but a ways west, so I always gotta go north to trap. Usually I go way up so I can chase marten too, but this year I stayed closer to home. Glad you were able to find some success. I know people have said this was the hardest year to trap in a long while with all the snow and cold. And appreciate that you have enjoyed the videos.

@@dr.bergpensionado1005 The cruelest thing we can do to wildlife is fail to manage it.

wildlife manages itself. you are pretty delusional.@@dankrogstad6238

Thank you. Yeah you don't always connect, but that's just trapping. Gotta love just getting out.

Thank you. Glad you liked the video.

Great eating. Most people smoke it, I like making sandwiches out of it, it's good on its own. I'd say similar flavor to catfish only stronger, and very firm, more like sword fish or a pork chop.

160s, and bend the trigger wires wide. Beaver or venison are my preferred bait, gusto for lure. Make sure you set where there is plenty of overhead cover. Good luck!

Glad you liked the video, and that it could bring back some nostalgia. Yes the beaver are back and otters. Fisher probably weren't around much when you were here, their population didn't really rebound until the late 70s. If you watch my 2019 marten fisher video towards the end I show in a bit more detail how conibear traps work.

@@owenminnesotaoutdoors9664 I really appreciate your reply. It's just so neat that, since my time there, the wolves, marten, beaver and moose(?) have returned...they were just no longer around in my time. And I must confess that your video brought home and reminded me of just how formidable that winter in the northern Minnesota woods can be...I specifically recall checking traplines at 3:00 of a moonlit early morning at 25 below zero and how conscious I was of the latent danger it presented. If you're searching for video content, I know I would be very interested in how you prepare before going out (traps, bait, etc.) to make sets (if it won't give any secrets away). My brother and I knew a "real" trapper who, each fall, would buy and pack about 10 pounds of salt, slabs of bacon and enough coffee for eight months or so and head north into Canada setting up caches all along the way. He showed us some trapping techniques we had always used since then and they worked quite well. One technique was to try and eliminate all human scent from our traps. You probably already know this, but we would boil a cauldron of water with fresh-cut pine boughs and our traps in it for about an hour or two. After this we would only handle the traps wearing leather gloves or choppers (mittens). You could also spell out how you skin, stretch and dry your pelts and the techniques used for that. I'd be very interested to know. Just sayin'.

Good luck! I hear the natural foods are heavy this year so it's been hard for some people getting them to come in. Patience and quality bait go a long way.

Just north of floodwood

@@owenminnesotaoutdoors9664 oh ok. I’m heading to Dinham lake for some kayak bass fishing today. By melrude or cotton
