Ok I was impressed with your trapping but now I think I’m more impressed with just the time commitment for all those sets at multiple locations - checking them daily -THEN working full time. You’re a hard charger Brother. Thanks for all you do!

Great advice for those wanting to start out. No need to jump in long lining with a ton of steel. A mentor would be a great start for one in a local area. Research, the ability to fabricate and finding those deals are a plus. Your channel has a wealth of information and has the ability to help in the fore mentioned areas. Know the feeling on being a bit behind but it all works out in the end.

Really wish I could have that many sets out. But unfortunately I am stuck using cages so it's hard to pack that many traps with me. Can't wait to see more videos this year. You were the first trapping channel I started watching and have learned a lot from you. Thank you for continuing with the great videos.
@timothyrothrock41733 жыл бұрын
You are right about the number of traps the beginner needs. The biggest thing for the beginner is learning. Make a lot of your own tools and boards. The classifier is easy steaks no prob. bate is made. A dozen traps to start. I'd get sets of three different types.

Maybe need new springs once in a while or some other part is all. Great video, again thanks for taking the time. Al

Pretty sure I could fill your trailer up with my traps but that isn't saying much when your stuck in a cage trapping state like washington. My smallest traps are 6x6x24 colony's, and iv got a pile of those. But when you start stacking up 12x12x36 and 12x18x36 beaver/otter/bobcat cages it becomes very difficult to get any number of traps out even in a full-size long bed pickup. My new trap design will be collapsible that will help immensely, but will still fill up a ten foot trapping boat very quickly!

Its not the number of sets that matters. I am not going to just put a bunch of traps out. I do full time trap every day of the season and have every high catch rates. Most guys just throw in a bunch of traps and have a very sad catch rate. If i put out a dozen MB 550's i can almost guarantee a 25% catch rate ,night after night. You must keep moving across the country side. I say 5 days and move on.
