I’m 17 and I set my first beaver traps a few days ago with the help of your videos I got my first beaver and it was a big 50 pounder! Thank you for all the educational videos it helped me a ton!

[@330Maniac]

That is awesome!

[@aardhond]

Congrats mate keep trapping !!!!

[@aardhond]

@@330Maniac you do realize that someone will blame you for get him addicted to trapping ha lol

[@rustyshackleford5542]

Please google “beaver keystone species”. You’re doing a LOT of damage.

[@330Maniac]

@@rustyshackleford5542 Please google reasons for beaver trapping. You're doing a lot of damage with your misinformation

[@denver_suvvcrews8388]

Definitely need more under water videos of the sets when you can. GREAT VIDEO!!

[@VENZUL0]

Need to invent an underwater motion-activated trail cam

[@flintlock2588]

That's a good idea

[@ruststar]

It is called a ziploc bag

[@75thshootist]

Yes this needs to happen!

[@travisrscott75]

Trail cam in a Clear waterproof box

[@9251finley1]

The GoPro footage is awesome. It gave me a few ideas for my traps sets I hadn’t thought of. Thanks!!!

[@thomasrobinson8960]

Now that's some great footage there. Thank you.

[@alularussell778]

I loved this. Back in the day, oh what memories. You did good and keep it up. Then you get too old and it's guys like you who keep the art alive.

[@bryanf7348]

The 2nd half was extremely educational for a newbie. Thanks, man.

[@stevecobb6001]

Greetings to you Sir from North Wales in the UK. Great video!

[@nhirdler]

Love the underwater footage. That river is crystal clear! Definitely need more

[@rangepro]

wow, very clear>>>>>>>thanks well done!!

[@rogerbublitz1722]

Awesome underwater footage ! Always enjoy your videos Scott. Keep them coming.

[@jeffreyhalet9632]

Love the underwater footage. Very cool

[@jasonmiller6949]

Heck yeah! Thank you for sharing the underwater footage, helpful to better understand what's going on down there.

[@jamieburston1517]

Awesome vid bud I love to see the sets under water. Great job as usual

[@crittergetter5045]

Thanks Scott! Keep em coming!!

[@Hectorcolomb20]

Well under water very good. And big beaver.👍😏

[@brucewayne2091]

Amazing visibility; thanks for adding that underwater footage.

[@brentthebloodhound]

this is the best video and explanation of beaver trapping inside the water.

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Awesome under water video!! Hopefully people that don’t understand how beaver work this will help them out!!

[@1stbump]

Great video as always! Loved the underwater footage also! Thanks!

[@AnthonyRubeoOutdoors]

It's like Christmas. Santa Mackner keeps bringing us gifts

[@isellcatlitter]

i'm surprised there wasn't fish in that channel... and now i got to shame (call me a KAREN) all of your subscribers for not clicking that thumbs up....REEEEEEE

[@lpalerme]

Very helpful to see what sets actually look like underwater.

[@scottphillipy9831]

Did enjoy the video, thanks for sharing. The underwater shots were awesome. I'm glad I found your channel, it brings back memories thanks again.

[@3badattitude]

Excellent video! I really enjoy the under water footage. It gives you a different perspective on what they do!

[@lukepollack6076]

awesome video, I miss trapping so much! Love all your other videos aswell, keep em coming!!

[@mackmcinnis6087]

I love the underwater footage it's awesome. Thanks

[@ericnevison9016]

That's insanely clear water. Very cool! Thank you for showing this, learning a lot! More underwater footage!

[@chrisholmes6029]

Love the underwater footage! Very enlightening.

[@BMartinOutdoors]

You asked about safe trapping with dogs in the area? I actually used your videos to do that this spring. I used a Michigan legal cable restraint which includes break away and deer stop, to make my drowner set. I used your snare mounting system and installed the drowning rod right next to the snare support stick, then made the snare fasten end as short as possible to the slider. It was installed on a very used crossover from a pond to a dammed up drainage ditch. The snare was more than “half in”. If a dog managed to get in that, which I doubt, then it would be a foot catch and the deer stop would set him free. Blammo, first night!

[@bobn7525]

That was fantastic. Thanks for the footage. Too bad most beaver habitat isn't that clear.

[@oknave327]

thx for the underwater vids...I can now see where you are jamming the stakes on the 330's. Great video!

[@robgrubb420]

underwater part was 10/10 scotty so awesome id watch an hour of that.

[@erichennes1737]

great video again

[@kevintheweedman]

I miss trapping. Did it back in the 80's and 90's when fur prices were amazing.

[@luckytrapper7656]

That underwater video was cool as all hell .

[@judithdandavis2206]

the clear water was awesome to show your sets . love the footage .

[@chrisweiss6363]

Thanks man nothing pisses me off more than ppl trapping in high traffic areas. Love your vids keep fighting the good fight and be safe out there ✌️

[@alexdingle4292]

You're not trapping till you get a finger caught 😂

[@camus6208]

Very good underwater shots

[@timzeafla7678]

Nice job! That would be a good spot to put one of those float/castor sets out in the river. That way there’s no risk for catching any pets.

[@savedbygrace5279]

Good footage. Totally agree with the trapping ethics.

[@dougfairburn2037]

very much enjoyed the video. You're gonna have to come up to my place and help me with my beavers...bring your camera! ha ha, thanks for the great footage.

[@johnvaness8445]

Great under water video, thanks.

[@waynelewis6250]

Awesome video . It looked like a beaver could go around the H trap and directly in front of it were obstructions

[@arthenry498]

That was really great!! The underwater footage gave a whole new look to this. I really appreciate that. And you are totally right about NOT setting traps where someone or their dog might get in it. (if it's there, you KNOW some idiot will find it) And the sport does not need any negative publicity from upset people!! Thanks for your consideration and advice.

[@jayfishez]

I was seriously hoping you brought your marcum and had an underwater catch lol

[@WestTennessee]

Good catch on the beaver and love the underwater video!👍🏻😎

[@_Jolyn]

Love the under water footage! Thank you!

[@cpd833]

Thanks😎 for the underwater foorage

[@bertram_oredrock]

I watch a trapper's youtube channel from Idaho and he actually posts signs along roads warning dog owners of traps set in the general area. That normally keeps dog walkers away from his traps. When he removes the traps, the sign are removed too.

[@Northwoods208]

Idfg has those signs available to us to print off, but it's up to our discretion to use them or not, personally if I'm in an area where I'm worried about it, I just set elsewhere

[@jasonfielder8138]

Man, I am so glad you showed the thumb safety trick. I handle these things like a bomb about to go off. I am shocked at how nonchalantly some of these people handle these traps. I didn't know the thumb trick 🤦 You have anymore handy tricks?

[@matthewmarsh301]

Awesome videos man. Very tasteful editing vs some other trapping youtubers. 👌🏽

[@mullettk3594]

That underwater video is super cool . Unbelievable what they can do

[@mrmikenz]

Should set go pro up and record the trap getting a beaver that would be cool to see

[@leonkoopmansdutchsyntheticreef]

Just keep the camera there, I want to see live catch 😁

[@JMAC123]

the under water footage was awesome!

[@deernutOO]

Like the underwater shots and video. Would like to see more of the underwater sets.

[@ethanhopper8809]

Awesome video like always keep up the good work

[@alj4940]

Cool footage, sure is neat being able to see that. Nice big beaver as well. Keep them coming love it. Al

[@bowslingeroutdoors3653]

Love the underwater footage! Too bad a game cam wont work underwater! I would like to start snaring beaver too.

[@ryang98]

Thank you for all your trapping videos. My daughter and I in our first week trapped 2 beavers (#30 each). We found the runs and put some #330's in and the rest is history! Great videos, thank you!!

[@330Maniac]

Congratulations!!!

[@andylengerich3859]

That underwater video is great! Thank you for sharing that. Love the videos man!

[@andylengerich3859]

BTW, great message at the end.

[@danielmastin3606]

Cool video, really like the underwater footage. Thanks for sharing.

[@jimmyboy5597]

Always enjoy

[@spiceroutdoors]

The under water part was awesome

[@SSPJG3]

Great video! Thanks for posting. 👍

[@douglasbattjes3991]

cool underwater video, and nice sets. 👍👍👍👍

[@j_berg72]

Good job, love all the beaver videos

[@floydlenz2280]

Another learning video.. Thanks for your efforts.. I really enjoy your trapping videos.

[@donhull3857]

That was awesome it really clearified what to look for and whats going on underwater *** great job***

[@larryryan596]

As always great video. Good advice at the end about being responsible.

[@uncommonsense6635]

I knew a girl once, her name was Wynona, she had a big brown beaver, it was pretty tame. I remember she used to stroke it all the time.

[@seanehmke9208]

Good stuff. Love the underwater footage. I would have put two traps at the feed pile.

[@330Maniac]

I had 2 of them initially. They sprung one on an H stand

[@seanehmke9208]

Clever little bastards they are. Enjoy watching the videos. I was thinking of a caster mound set early on in the video but then you mentioned people walking thier pets. Could you set one farther off the road?

[@montym2003]

Wow man I've binged watched / studied your videos 100's of them in the last few days but so far that one is the best!!!! GREAT WORK! Thanks for the educational training!!!!

[@waynefiebiger3202]

The water video Wes very good. Have you ever caught a large fish in your traps.

[@edgundlach2811]

Absolutely beautiful underwater pictures! I've watched beaver damn excavation videos. But never beaver trapping. Yours was the first. Subbed. Thank you Again beautiful and nice music with it..

[@330Maniac]

Thanks Ed!!

[@chuckletendre9800]

great tip about keeping your thumb out of the trap

[@OutdoorExperiences]

Absolutely love it keep it coming

[@paulkress4362]

Great spot, you ever fish that lake that feeds into there for pike?(or know where panfish are in the winter on that lake, do real well in the summer but no idea where to go there in the winter)

[@shawncharleyboy3702]

That's some clear water ✌️

[@miketibbettsjr208]

The conibear on the h stand looked slightly of to one side of the run . When a big beaver see's another 1 in a conibear it most likely snare time

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

I really enjoyed rhat video buddy!!

[@yourmomsdildo3938]

The amount of times you said "big beaver 🦫" gained you a new sub from this stoner. 😂keep snagging those little bastards. They have cost me a bunch of sweat and frustration over the years. Good job on the set.

[@beebob1279]

We used to fish a stream for trout at my buddy's golf course. I would often see chewed sticks from beaver. We fished that thing a mile up and a mile down from those sticks and never saw feed piles. We fished it in winter, spring, summer, and fall. What am I missing? I don't trap but still want to understand what I'm seeing. Awesome channel. Please keep them coming.

[@330Maniac]

Somewhere up or down that river is a lodge or den where the beaver are living. Generally they will make a feed pile to sustain them through the winter to eat

[@ValentineFox547]

Have you ever caught fish in that trap before by accident

[@johnsundelin5435]

Great underwater footage. I have a spot almost exactly like the one where you caught the beaver, crystal clear water, bank den with fresh gravel pushed up. I can only use 330's fully submerged 10 feet from the den. Water is fairly deep, 3-4 feet, it looks like they come into from multiple directions since there is minimal debris in the water in front of it. Is it possible to put a couple large sticks/branches to guide them to enter in one spot 10 feet out or should I not set there? Thanks

[@zhelko]

this was great, i finally have a clear idea of how the trap sits underwater. i know this question has probably been asked many times but what do you do with the trapped beaver? do you skin them yourself? something else?

[@330Maniac]

Sell them usually

[@judithdandavis2206]

dan got some snares made and want to try a set called the lost castor mound set ,a stick with 2 snares on it ,one on each side of the stick with castor smeared on the stick . when the beaver is swimming around the stick checking things out ,they swim through one of the snares . the meat trapper showed this set and seems to work ,can't wait to try it out .

[@330Maniac]

When did he post that video? I actually made that set up myself years ago. Thats exactly what I named it Lol. I have a video I made 4 years ago of it.

[@TheFishleclair]

great vids

[@frydaddy43]

Love this video, i have learned over the years. Been beaver trapping myself a few years, in South Georgia. Starting a KZbin channel any advice is welcome. Gary L Frye outdoors Keep up the good work.

[@codyjohnson24]

That was amazing!

[@MsDaddyrabbit1]

Excellent

[@jimb7067]

That was some neat video; really enjoyed that. Are you going to try again to video an actual capture?

[@nathanieldeboe5480]

Love it man I trap cats and canines myself never messed with wAter trapping much but you make it look pretty easy 😂

[@wanderingthewilderness]

Nice video bro. Great catch

[@michaeldemny612]

Good grief man, what a really really cool video. Great footage.. What can you do for an encore?

[@toddlarson883]

Awesome vide!

[@mitchdroese84]

I would do that, but most of the water that I trap here in Texas is mud and walmart sacks.

[@michaelenglish8004]

Great video 👍 Maybe set another H-stand beside the other one. Clear water may have made beaver change direction & threw it. ?? Good Luck.. Just Subscribed to your channel
