Amazing Otter Trapping Video Crossover sets with 220s!!

[@RTAlabama]

To all the protesters - Oh good Lord - what have YOU ever done to manage wildlife so they don't over populate and die of disease or starvation? I'm sure you'd enjoy watching a video of that. People like you protest against cutting trees but live in houses made of wood. You also protest killing animals but love your leather shoes, belts and seats in your fancy cars. If you're not living in a cave eating sticks and rocks, take your self righteous opinions elsewhere. Go get a life and find reality.

[@330Maniac]

Well said!

[@moniej.8306]

Very good point but I love otters 😭

[@braxtonmcguire2864]

There's a difference between killing to kill or killing to hunt. Humans have grocery stores for food yet most still go and hunt for no reason! I would understand if you lived in a tribe and had to kill to survive but I guarantee that you don't.

[@thatoutdoorsguy3645]

Amen brother!

[@stlhd3394]

Braxton McGuire not everyone lives near a grocery store. Most people trap because they like being outdoors and they sell fur to make money

[@yoyomamamma2260]

Love your videos brother, I’m a hunter and fisherman too. the comment of you doing it for passion got me ! In my opinion your soul is dead without passion ! I meet tons of people every year and when I ask people what they enjoy doing it’s sad that 2/3 of them say my family or money. I can’t talk to those people, way too boring !

[@j.r.w6623]

Man wish fur prices were still like that

[@Gonzo3780]

Nice job on the sets and otters...We are not allowed to set anything bigger than a 110 here on land in Michigan...Those were some big boys that's for sure...I no of 2 trails like that between lakes and one on a river to a lake I wish I could make a land set on...I just found out about the beaver houses this year too...I will be trapping some old ones next year...Good stuff...Take care, Gonzo...

[@330Maniac]

Thanks pal I really enjoyed making these vids we had perfect weather for trapping these areas for over a week and it really paid off. thanks again for the kind words =)

[@79Testo]

330 MaNiaC what brand 220 u using ?

[@330Maniac]

Victors

[@79Testo]

330 MaNiaC strong springs ? stronger than a duke ?

[@79Testo]

330 MaNiaC I have suspicion that there might be otters on my trap line...but a good portion of the wetland is not walkable...it's marshy. There's a beaver lodge in there...

[@dublelung1]

Nice video and beautiful otter. Just curious, is a 220 the largest you can use there or do you just prefer them over 280's or 330's?

[@330Maniac]

220 is the largest I can legally use on land here. I prefer a 280 or a 330 for them in the water though. And thanks for watching =)

[@beebob1279]

thanks for the video. I saw otter while trout fishing a stream in summer. They were more curious about me wading their stream as I was. I got nervous so I stopped moving upstream. Then they moved out of the water and disappeared into the brush. Never saw one in the wild before. They're really cool to watch. Haven't seen them there for several years. Maybe I got lucky to see them. What kind of products can you make with the otter pelts?

[@nightrunner3701]

I found an otter skeleton in a culvert in Sacramento despite me having the experience to know exactly what an otter skull was, none of the locals believed me. “There’s no otters around here”! “And certainly not in the storm drain”!

[@browderdavid8959]

The simplest sets are the best and most effective.Let the terrain do the work for you.GREAT looking otters that you harvested.

[@330Maniac]

Thanks Browder!

[@t5sur1]

Nice! good big males, effective simple sets. Good job.

[@330Maniac]

Thanks!

[@cjroutdoors4138]

would a 160 work for otter?

[@330Maniac]

Little small. nothing smaller than a 220

[@nightrunner3701]

What is the white critter in the thumbnail?

[@330Maniac]

that is an albino mink that I caught

[@MissionOutdoors]

I couldn't tell, but do you have the conibear holder wired odd so you don't lose it?

[@330Maniac]

David Enstad No I actually just shoved it into the ground. it was a bad idea to do it that way in hind sight lol

[@MissionOutdoors]

I need to get more conibears and start using them to their potential... You'd think I'd have a ton of traps for being a dealer. lol

[@roxane1889]

Theirs a otter in our lake that we own on our own property and it keeps eating all our fish what should I look for to try and find it like tracks and stuff and I don’t have a bear trap or anything I’m just gonna shoot it just wondering what I should be on the look out for

[@330Maniac]

They will have a certain spot on the shoreline someplace that they go to the bathroom on. Look.for that

[@dakotasmith361]

Where do you get those conibear holders?

[@teeadam45]

Perfect catch on the otter. That's some beautiful fur. Awesome video!!!!!!

[@wallaceviviansadventures2095]

nice otters keep it up

[@330Maniac]

Thanks Wallace! Got a giant male in this set =)

[@evanlanginais]

people really hate trapping otters but me I love it. last season I got 42 yes I just bragged about my otter catch just to piss u tree huggers off lol PS. 330maniac awesome catches of otter.

[@330Maniac]

Nice catch pal!! We only have a 4 otter limit here =(

[@evanlanginais]

hey look at the bright side you get alot more beaver than i do. i only got 13 last year and i trap them to eat them lol. But every state has there limits, i think mine is grey/red fox. i just had to comment my catch cuz man i cant stand people that want to down on people who take animals through trapping when theirs noting wrong with our job

[@330Maniac]

Limit of what?? There are 4 species here. Otter the limit is 4 in minnesota. mink, beaver and muskrat there is no limit

[@330Maniac]

evan langlinais down south there quite a few states with no otter limit. Mississippi is one of them

[@joshuaccombs7130]

evan langlinais well fuck your just a regular bill Tyler now huh the otters are so thick ya don't trap em just club em on the bank. I'm just blowin ya shit man i'm a fourth gen trapper from the wabash river they just brought otters back on the list but one per year. Oh and good luck this year but you probably won't need it. Wow 42 hell of deal

[@southernsasquatchseekers9639]

Man that is some pretty otters there bud!

[@monstersofthewater3648]

I agree

[@filthycasual8074]

bruh it makes me so mad hunting otters because they just so Beautiful. should be some laws preventing it

[@330Maniac]

The fact you use words like "Bruh" make me super mad. Why isn't there laws against that?

[@BlairEricksonFishing]

awesome videos

[@charleschristenbury4722]

How can you tell a 160 from a 220? I brought some traps from a guy and he said they are 220s but they look too small for otter.

[@330Maniac]

Charles Christenbury I believe the jaw spread on a 220 is 8 inches and a 160 is 7.

[@davidmoulton5422]

Thank you for the video new harvester

[@jbrooks101]

Can we set 220s on land in MN? I thought they were too big; but I'm a greenhorn, so I could be wrong.

[@330Maniac]

You are allowed to set 220s on land as long as you are on private property. They are not allowed on public areas.

[@jbrooks101]

Thats good to know!!!!!

[@zachrykhus4280]

Is that an albino mink??

[@330Maniac]

Yep

[@zachrykhus4280]

That’s awesome! Nice work. An albino mink is a dream. I want an albino mink and muskrat mounted in a fight scene on drift wood. Maybe one day

Keith Spell Hey Kieth I will shoot a video this fall on how to skin an otter out. Unfortunately I no longer have someplace to flesh one though. Thanks for watching pal!!

[@stovokk]

We don’t have otter so maybe it’s different but if you offset your whiskers you’ll suit case the critter and it won’t thrash over one blade of grass

[@Dougarrowhead]

[@TheLewdDemon]

Hey so I am in the state of Alaska and have a BUNCH of traps ( But never actually trapped, yet) and I was curious do you think stuff like Mink, Marten, and other weasels would be good for starting off? P.S. Keep up the incredibly great videos love them all!!!

[@330Maniac]

muskrat are another very easy animal to target. but yes all those would be good starter critters. even Beaver aren't to bad to catch during the fall in open water.

[@MissionOutdoors]

Not sure if you have raccoon in Alaska or now, but they are by far the easier animal I've ever trapped. My kids are even able to catch them without me.

[@kukamunga7336]

Not judging, I'm a sportsman myself. I'm genuinely wondering what the point is in killing them though? Do they taste good or is it just pest control?

[@330Maniac]

population control and you sell them

[@alphonsozorro7952]

Fur.

[@mmiles55]

Did you use any lure on these sets or were they just blind sets? Great video thank you

[@330Maniac]

M Miles These were all blind sets. Thanks!

[@GG-ub4ej]

Just in the learning process here but some people seem to hate duke traps. I just ordered 6 duke 110 and with very little experience am thinking those 220s your using look like dukes. Are they dukes and what is your thoughts on them? They are appealing to me for the price.

[@330Maniac]

G G Dukes are not bad traps they work very well. only issue I ever see is with the larger conibear like 330s. sometimes when you catch Big Beaver the jaw will bend. but they are a great trip for the price

[@GG-ub4ej]

330 MaNiaC Thanks for the info and videos. I appreciate it.

Do you use live traps or just conibears and stuff like that?

Trapping predators and keeping their numbers low is the way to do it. Be proactive and make a decent size fur check. Talking about predators and eating GMO food is not for me. Show me a wolf pack and my hands will start to itch. I never skinned an otter I didn't like. Get out and trap why don't ya?

Not just that you kill so many otters, but the animals that are scared are killed by the otters probably saying thank you for that xD.

[@komando8365]

George Hess III What are you, a fur trapper from the 1600s in Canada? Get over yourself, trapping animals isn’t a way of life anymore. The majority of trapped animals that are trapped for their fur isn’t even remotely worth a fraction of what it used to be even 15 years ago. Nice try!

[@Leenux]

Trapping, aka hunting for cowards...

[@330Maniac]

Oogway Trapping takes 10x more skill than hunting. You can shoot a deer from 300 yards with a gun but with trapping you gotta make something step on one spot thats 2" by 2" wide. How bout dat?

[@Leenux]

Do I ever mentioned skill? Or guns? Real man take a knife and/or self-made spear and go out to wilderness. Tell me about skills here.

[@330Maniac]

Oogway so you're full of shit then lol

[@Leenux]

Well, disappointed but not surprised. I did not expect any smart answer from you. If you want take something from nature do it in the way of nature, not in a parasitic way. Otherwise you are just like most of human kind - a parasite to the nature. If you want to control numbers of otters, hunt down poachers that kill their natural enemies. For now it is just an excuse to feel superior against defenseless animals. Pure cowardice.

[@330Maniac]

Oogway Lol ok. I guess i did not know that you were the king of decisions on this earth. So if you yourself just decided it's cowardly it makes it true? Yeah thats not how it works sorry. I love trapping and love teaching thousands of people how to do it. Its the most effective way to manage animal populations bar none. So its about being the most effective to me. And I couldn't be more proud of what I do regardless of what you have to say. You aren't gonna affect me one bit. I'll still be out this winter catching hundreds if not thousands of critter. And I'll still be making trapping videos teaching more and more people how to do it. And there really isn't one thing you can do about it. Literally not one single thing.
