In the Fur Shed with CCO Ep.2

[@jimg443]

Young man, love your videos, bn trapping 40 year's, these smart phones new to me, grew up on ffg magazine, I really in joy the way you teach, great job, you keep it real, keep it up,

[@NateAndSons91]

Jim G amen to that ! He’s doing awesome love the videos he makes

[@prnprn4024]

Can you do a video on garment making. With fur prices low this should have a lot of interest.

[@bcallahan3806]

As always. Educational and informational. Thank you. A true keeper of the land. Beaver and scrat very lean. Those on grass fed beef should take a try with a good cool. Two birds with one stone in my book. You farm the land without destroying it. May God Bless and move foreward. Thanks again, Bill

[@beartoothmcavvyandkennel4882]

Well done! I always enjoy watching. Been tapping for 20 years and watching your videos helps me blow off the dust coming into the season. You are the reason I have a skinning Machine. That’s been the Best invention since the coil spring trap.

[@wadewittman8510]

You got that right 👍!!

[@delbertbutcher1219]

Thank you for starting this video series. Each video I learn something new. This round, the big takeaway for me was carcass disposal and how to use it vs dump it. Thank you for all the time you put into educating us!

[@alj4940]

great advice young man. I got a chuckle about burning the fat,I do that as well. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks, Al

[@casper9256]

Thanks for making informative videos. I'm just starting out tanning pelts. I dont trap but hunt and take problem critters off the compound. Found a fresh roadkill beaver I've been working on. Got one in the pond I'm going to take soon so wanted some practice. Thanks for the pointers you make It look so easy.

[@northeastrider825]

Great information from the fur shed! Another great video.

[@TrapperJOutdoors]

great video lots of good questions answers

[@MegaRapfiend]

Second year trapping. You have taught me everything I know about fur handling. I follow your tanning instructions and gave successfully put up an tanned all my first critters an am now onto putting up more things this yr. Thank you for your videos.

[@MegaRapfiend]

[@BNOOutdoors]

Love seeing you back brotha! Out trapping and filming now..Haha RIP NAFA

[@jimmybrown9039]

I am a guy of few words on that i am new to this an learning a lot from you, I am military retired,dont quite fit in with people i hope you keep teaching

[@TrappingTheMitten-JohnHowell]

Lol, those are words beyond wisdom! "skunks stink" Stu, that made my day! Keep up the good work and thanks for your videos!

[@brentbarton9716]

Love the hoodie. Glad to see you doing well.

[@jerrodhankins2676]

Can't wait for those beaver recipes caught my first 4 beavers this year. Please share

[@chrissaguaro7793]

lol. Fixed the squeak and beer. Spotted cow, nice choice. Try the stoned soup from New Glarus. love the videos and the "In the fur shed" series. Definitely staying busy. Cheers bud.

[@jkd0114]

Hey I’ve done your tanning method (orange bottle) 3 times now. Each time I’ve had fur slippage. I would love to hear your best pointers to avoid slipping. Especially for fox, coyote and coon but I would definitely listen to all aspects.

[@phillipmartin5760]

Make sure to get all of the way to the leather on the hide. I had similar happen to me. After talking to the Taxidermist I learned to use the full side better than the sharp. Most of the time slippage comes from not getting all of the flesh off , you can see it during the first rinse before you salt. Just let it dry out a bit and take it back to the beam and flesh it again.. Hope that helps..

[@floydlenz2280]

Great vid , really enjoy your ideas and solutions.. Looking forward to the next.. Happy Holidays

[@foxhilloutdoors2134]

I like the idea of cooking episodes. It would also be cool to see how you make bait as well.

[@HuntA.baseball]

Great job, been watching you for a few years now. Look forward to seeing new episodes. Keep on skinning!

[@normanthompson4729]

When I started I got a draw shave from a second hand store and I still use it 30 years later.

[@NSTRAPPERHUNTER]

Great video Stu and thanks for sharing. Later buddy and all the best.

[@lesterstumpf3105]

So glad to see more videos coming out keep up the great work

[@timb1683]

Learn something new every time I watch a video from cco 👍

[@timothyrothrock4173]

I keep my skunky lures in the shed. The constant smell helps me to stay used to it. Also keeps the wife out of there when I want to be left alone. I don't really mess with processing skunk unless a friend wants a pelt. Been trapping for at least 50 years. Still learning.

[@CoffeyOutdoors]

Great video. Well done

[@sgarner78]

Spotted cow is a great beer!!

[@jacobjordahl12345]

Thanks for chair, we love you cuz you are a good sport brother

[@charleszschunke4947]

Great video.

[@mikelbhardin7202]

Thanks for the up graded beer 😁🥴😁🥴

[@Mark-ty8gl]

Can I keep boarded for in a heated shed with the wood burner only heated a few hours a day. I see you have yours with the wood burner going

[@markreed512]

Excellent info

[@stevesykes4527]

LIKE THE RIP OVER NAFA SIGN

[@MegaRapfiend]

I copied the nafa bags on my ceiling from seeing it in the video .now I had to copy that. anybody would know who influences my fur shed.

[@fishinfool4204]

Some great content as always brother thanks !!!

[@tanner3227]

You should do some homemade baits for coyotes/foxes/bobcats.

[@NateAndSons91]

Tanner Lee he does he said he makes yote bait from the beaver an rats 👍

[@tanner3227]

@@NateAndSons91 yeah I wanted to see how he actually makes it and what else goes into it 😊

[@shaynealdana8789]

Just getting started. Thanks for all your help!

[@jimmyraythomason1]

As equally important as a good fleshing knife is a good fleshing beam. The right contour can make fleshing go so much faster with less damage to the pelt. I use 6-8 inch pvc for beaver and 3-4 inch pvc for every thing else (except mink).

[@Jarrett0101]

Starting out would snares be good to start with?

[@tn.outside5138]

I started with 7 duke 1.5 and a couple duke 2. Made my own bait, and started selling green. You only get a small percentage of money with green but if you need to save up money to fund the rest of your trapping equipment and then to buy your boards and other stuff til you can flesh and sell.

[@jakejake708]

Man the fur shed come a long way been watching the earlier videos a while I guess. Looking good

[@MEGADADDY1968]

Thank you for all this great info. I'm just getting into trapping and your videos are awesome and extremely informative. Thanks again

[@garysweatland5499]

Great info. Thank you.

[@jessiematlock1634]

I've learned all my fur handling from your videos. Maybe you can do a video on your bait making, ive been trying my hand at it this year. Keep it coming and tight chains!

[@tyejohnson9079]

I'm just getting started in that's the biggest problem I have is I don't know what to do with it after I'm done drying it out

[@wadewittman8510]

Check out FHA- fur harvesters auction or Groenewold Fur and Wool. Another place to sell fur is through your state trapping association auction. Hope that helps you out 👍.

[@tyejohnson9079]

@@wadewittman8510 thank you so much

[@wadewittman8510]

@@tyejohnson9079 you're very welcome buddy, now get out there and stack the fur👍😀🐺!

[@adameiberger1669]

Love your channel. You have crazy good content clear from catching an animal to the finished product. Just tossing out an idea that would be helpful for me and maybe other trappers but would you ever do a bait and lure video? Go through what bait and lure you use for dirt holes, DPs, and beaver trapping and if it is homemade how you make it. 👍🏻

[@JayVanDaele]

Great stuff!!! Keep em coming thanks!

[@TexasJungle]

Love the channel! Love what your doing guys or do what you love!! We are!! Texas Jungle yee yee!

[@kevingranger8819]

thank you for all the info.

[@j.r.beckham3750]

Keep up the good work like the videos. Still have never caught your name or the town you are from in Illinois. Quality fleshing knives are for sure a plus I use a post knife seen it in one of your videos went and spent the money and couldn’t be happier. Thanks

[@72pinebarron]

Hahha. Love the preview. Thumbs up. I will watching it tonight. Good job and I haven’t watched it yet. Sweet.

[@72pinebarron]

Fantastic!!!! Thanks for this. Especially the beaver and musk rat meal ideas. Cheers 17

[@drewgant4421]

Well done brother

[@tcxp]

Can you go through the different kind of tail zips? I hate the orange plastic one..do you know of any that you can re sharpen?

[@larryhill5649]

Love the Q&A. Do a video on bait and lure making. Thx

[@efvangilder2642]

A individual fur buyer I know compost carcasses and sells the compost to orchards.

[@Larry342516]

Great video thanks.

[@Ecoasthunter]

Glad I'm not the only one not being able to stop a skunk from spraying!

[@steveulery4650]

Hahahahaha like how you have updated your poster!😂😂😂

[@Telluridepilot]

Resently ran across your videos and I had to comment and tell you how awesome they are. Very well put together and great content. I'm in my early 50s now but as a teenager in northern Indiana I trapped muskrat, fox and basically what we could catch. Back in the early/mid 80s the market obviously was different. Me and a buddy caught mostly muskrat but we caught 1 red fox and got $75.00 for the pelt ( big difference compared to now ). Muskrat if I remember we got $10 or $12 for a decent size rat. I just wanted to say thanks for the videos and keep up the great work.

[@shanek6582]

Man that would be some nice prices.

[@robellenberger6816]

If I'm selling to a local fur buyer do I dry the furs on the board like normal with skin out or should I dry them fur out for the buyer to see

[@NorthernTrapper]

Glad to see you’re posting trapping videos again. Love the RIP NAFA sign. 👍🏻

[@nicholascampbell3369]

That's a stack of fur!

[@aewilliams3006]

Yes please on recipes or cooking tips

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Great info man, love your videos keep'um coming.

[@korbinbaird6737]

What bait do you use for dog proofs

[@shanek6582]

I’ve been using a pressure washer for fleshing this year, wish I knew about it years ago. If I was as good at fleshing as you I’d do it with a knife though.

[@Backdaft94]

Use possums for fleshing practice if you can flesh a possum without messing up you can flesh anything. Good quality fleshing knife like a necker is a must.

[@40motomike]

How are you drying the furs after the Washing machine?? Dryer? Hang dry? Duration of time? In the washing machine, are you using detergent? Fabric softener? Bleach?

[@scottkese8503]

What do you with your baits and lures left at the end of the season? Will they last until the next season? Anything special need to be done to them?

[@Jeff-ps6ws]

Did your fur check bounce? Who are you going to sell too?

[@joeycavitt7704]

Keep the videos coming.

[@tomkeltescheverythingoutdo2379]

How did you get new glarius spotted cow? You can only buy it in Wisconsin. Nevertheless, its a good beer. Lol

[@trapperted5083]

Thank You Stu for your time and work on these videos been watching for a long time two recipes for you beaver- take front and back legs brown in bacon grease put in pot with onions and green peppers go easy on the peppers as they can over power the rest of the flavors use drippings to make gravy and cook for awhile till tender back straps flash fry in oil with some bacon grease heavily salt and pepper dredge in flour and fry hot and fast till WELL DONE raccoon- treat like a squirrel clean and part out par boil with a teaspoon sage and 6 table spoons of cider vinegar till almost tender put in covered dish for thirty minutes at 300 degrees with your favorite barbecue sauce sweet or vinegar base pre cook a few sweet potatoes and add last ten minutes as always young ones are best hope everyone enjoys

What camera gear do you use

[@lanewilliams8313]

When you use critters for dog food, are you de-boning the critters and just feeding the meat? And also do they need anything else added or can this be the only diet?? Thanks

[@GregoryFamilyRacing]

Great videos man! Keep it up!

[@rollinchevy9677]

Are you getting new sizes in for your merchandise?

[@logankaplon222]

Do you make your bait for your dogless? It looks like mark June’s chum? Could you do a update video on what kind of prices you got for your fur this year?

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good Q&A CC good answers now I would like to see one of Stu,s bait recipes utilizeing beaver or muskrat or both boy woundnt that be a good Christmas present Stu,s bait recipe

[@TrappingTheMitten-JohnHowell]

Hey Stu, can you tell me about coyote fur getting 'singed' in late season?

[@jesseteick891]

I enjoy your videos...love trapping. You should show some of your daily catches.

[@SemiReTired]

Ive trapped and dispatched 80 skunks to date, after I wash them in my concoction I can press that skunk against my face like a pillow. No stink at all. Beaver is one of the best meats out there also

What do you dispatch with

[@countryboy57148]

Can you please go further in depth with NAFA? I have shipped fur for years to them and there is no Fur Harvester pick ups here in MO. So I’ll have to probably go through a local state auction. But I was hoping you would know about what NAFA will do with unsold fur and their checks that are bad

[@arnoldcottrell2740]

small question how you keep mice out of do traps

[@Hmoob828]

definitely, I want to see a catch n cook. Lol.

[@danpanko4124]

Where do you sell your fur in this bad market?

[@nomad7412]

Love your videos and was wondering how many critters do you catch per season and does it cover the costs?

[@lonnynorton2982]

Do a video on how to process and pack some of your harvests

[@chuckhowell1026]

Man you are one active outdoorsman. Reminds me when I was younger. I throughly enjoyed all of the videos I have watch and I am thinking about getting ba k into trapping when i fully retire next year. Would love to know more about the live market because that seems to be where the money is it down here in the south. How are people able to grap a hotel or fox by the Cape of the neck and put them in a soggy box? Seems like it would be so risky. If you could shed some light on the live market I would love to see it. Great videos and you show how putting in the work pays off.

[@joelshaffett9273]

Where do you sell your skunk essence? I dispatch my skunks with a skunk sleeper/ acetone combo and they very rarely spray so I get to extract .75-1.5 oz off each one but I don't know where to sell it. Thanks keep up the great work!

[@ryleebristol]

What kind of foothold is your go to For a mixed bag

[@91ericpeavey]

How would you go about trapping or processing in a very populated area. I live in the Bay Area California.

[@Backdaft94]

Cant legally trap in Commiefornia anymore.
