Had to run over and listen to the meat eater podcast. From one southern Illinois boy to another, damn good. Didn’t waste time, just got the job done.

[@randyfisher4581]

Thanks for the education , speed dip is what I used for the dog proofs. Gummy is how they came out. I tried acetone to clean them up with no luck . Bought new ones and ready to start over. I’ll try the full metal jacket next 👍

[@MichaelJones-be2ke]

Thanks for all ya do!!!!

[@tommurphy6972]

Wish we had walnut trees around here close, thanks for the videos

[@WestTennessee]

Good tip! Thanks

[@ericdavis3736]

I've done it like your doing in the 70 and 80 had to quit trading late 80s thank for the vidio

[@zacblonien]

Thanks Stu

[@justforfun4623]

Thats how i did mine this year under a wood fire, the old timers had nothing more than that, a good 55 gallon drum cut down and some place to build a fire is all you need

[@curtiswjackson9916]

What brand of dog proof do you use and why that brand of dog proof

[@ericwinget5454]

I am not sure if you will see this but have you ever shared how you skin a coyote?? If so pls let me know. I have been looking at alot of your videos and i am liking them it helps alot

[@hvac1238]

Hit the 👍

[@thejudge51]

Didn’t know you were a Nissan guy

[@jhall9543]

Do u collect urine from trapped fox? If u do how dou do it?

[@swampwhiteoak1]

Please practice saying something only one time.

[@brianpung9693]

Love the videos man. I don’t trap or even have an interest in it but I can’t stop watching

[@timsmith7039]

You where talking about the smoke I use smoke for cover Scent for deer

[@littleshopintheshed]

Being from an area that doesn’t have walnut trees, would walnut shell blasting media do the same thing??

[@t.g_buffington]

Season started for me yesterday so I set my traps today

[@esauer1014]

Even though I am not a trapper, I find all of your videos informative and pleasurable to watch!!! Please keep up the great work and take care in the upcoming season!!!

[@JohnWomack-m2r]

Where do you sell your hides,,,,i used to trap many years ago. But i haven't found a fur buyes in years

[@mikewhitman745]

Anyone paint their beaver foothold? Or just go ahead and dye them and wax them like all the rest?

[@66bigbuds]

We eat the nuts and use the hulls for die. The used to make many shades of wood stain from those husks.

[@stayerallen6768]

Melt your bee's way in your boiling water it will float on top and coat the traps as you pull them out.

[@marktheo1563]

That's it let's make those ants stick with that white spray paint if they try to steal the paint & lures. I can see your reasoning!

[@robiskul]

this brings back so many memories of my late father boiling his traps I used to go with him on his trap lines..so may good memories i recognize the whole process

[@lockdoc854]

Do you have a video of the retrievable anchors you use now and what and where can I get them

[@CoffeyOutdoors]

we use walnuts and logwood dye to dye our traps, we paint our dog proof traps also

[@MrBilld75]

I love how informative you are. I don't know a whole lot about trapping and am new to it and I appreciate the extra tips like "don't wax conibears though". Stuff like that is important.

[@mattcoats2008]

Thank you for the great videos. First year trapper and I am really enjoying learning from watching your videos!

[@RockyRiverFarms]

Very well spoken. Great video I love how you haven’t fallen into the big money rut like everyone else “fmj” etc. I myself grew up using sumac since we don’t have many walnuts here where I’m at in mn. I love it keep these videos coming🍺🍺🍺

[@spencerhanson5606]

Could you do a video of all the baits you use and how to make them??. Please and thank you!

[@gmill2316]

I’m so glad you decided to re film all your videos. I’ve watched all your trapping videos and even though it’s all just about the same info. It’s great to watch fresh content.

[@cockpill]

Wish I had these vids when I started 10 years ago lol

[@marktheo1563]

Black walnuts & sumac to u!

[@mihlbachler2]

Hey stu. Pals has me working in Indy all winter. No trapping for me . You're all I got this year so keep the videos coming

[@coyotewacker]

I'm old school to !! Great to see your vid ,, just a tip you can bag up your walnuts in an mesh bag ,an lift them out wen your done ...Also simmer on Monday Then let them sit ... Keep up the great vids!!

[@jonathancoley8112]

Great video!

[@DevinGrigsby]

Thank you

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

🤔Pretty sure the Globalists have a bunch of these set for us. Great video! I'm learning... Oh I think you can use the water into ink. 💯

[@lucaspriesendorf251]

I dye my traps by putting them all on a wire, digging a hole in the creekbank just under the waters surface and completely filling the hole with wet, black, mud.Leave for a week.Traps will be nice and black.

[@johnpipe3188]

Just FYI, the molecules being pulled out of the walnuts are called tannins, not tannics. Thanks for the great videos!

[@mikewhitman745]

I was thinking that also but he did say tannin at one point, he did tannic more though. That might be an area thing, like people call poplar trees popul where I am.

[@ChildofYHVH]

Just curious how much hides are going for these days? Last time I sold any ways a little over 20 years ago (97 or 98). I think larges were 18.00 then.

[@coyotewacker]

Do you put anything between the jaws of the trap ??

[@andrepatterson7058]

1st 💯

[@Baker-tx7yg]

Here's an idea,... Post your videos a day or two early on your patreon page for those of us who are contributing to your future success so that we have the incentive of advanced viewing to keep us paying for your premium content.

[@timothyrothrock4173]

My grandfather was my influence in hunting fishing trapping. I wish he could have been able to get the info you shared with us. I run 1/3 the traps he did and my yields are much better. I know the best piece of advice I have got was pan tension. He would have been amazed how few skunk opossum I don't mess with. Thanks again

[@bbcustomoutdoors]

I gotta get started. I’m so far behind this year on prep. I’ve dyed with walnuts and it works great! Last year, I spray painted my mb550’s because they were new and didn’t want to wait on the rust. That’s works, too!

[@BornAgainOutdoorsman]

Try “Glow in the dark” paint. Had good success with it while experimenting. Paint is kinda pricy tho

[@goatgate3815]

“I’m do’in this for you.” How cool is that!!! Thank you indeed

[@brianwilson4861]

Those walnut hulls will dye a white cotton Tshirt a perfect desert tan

[@ahuntersdiary4344]

Thanks for the great content!! I always enjoy your videos 👍👍🇺🇸

[@jacobklaassen2146]

Hey how about a skunk trapping video this fall/winter

[@flintlock2588]

Do you reuse the pogo anchors on your DP's from year to year? Don't they get all bent up when you pull them out?

[@timross7046]

When you rust new ones with vinegar do you have to rinse them off with water or soda water before you die them ?

[@ryanadkison4491]

Hey question what is the purpose of dying traps

[@SDMountainMan]

Thanks for sharing I appreciate it didn't know it was that easy

[@152lb.mousehole2]

Won't the heat mess up your spring tension?

[@randyfisher4581]

Or maybe just paint

[@brandonweatherly6764]

Dude you look like Wayne Gretzky

[@garrettlewis7761]

Before spraying your dog proofs with paint, do you clean them or wash them out in any way? FYI, this is my first year trapping and your videos have been a huge help! Thanks for everything you are doing!

[@ctfan1486]

I'm wondering the same thing. Do you dye them first? Do you do anything to decrease them when they are new?

[@jamesvincell1047]

Do you have to wax the traps

[@fishhubbd]

Nice

[@oldmanfred8676]

Close to 63,000 Subbies!

[@jtb9544]

My favorite dye too! Cheap and easy.

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good information CC

[@johnwarren2505]

How can you set coyote sets around here in southern Illinois with all the free ranging does here

[@mikewhitman745]

Free ranging does? I think just about everywhere has free ranging doe and bucks. Wild animals generally free range.

[@Dunlap-uj5zl]

👍

[@charlesmurray1220]

When I waxed my 2 year old traps they came out with a lot of very flaky, scaly whitish wax on them. Anyone ever have the same?

[@mattwilliams5435]

I’m no expert, only a beginner, but I saw a video where they said boil the traps in dye, take out and then drop straight into wax while the metal on the traps is still hot. If you dipped them into wax while the metal was cold, If you didn’t allow enough time for the metal to heat to the same temp as the wax then you end up with white flaky film of wax on traps when you take them out. Hope that might help.

[@mikewhitman745]

@@mattwilliams5435 I'm also a beginner. Have heard you can wax cold traps but you need to let them sit in the wax and come up to temperature before you pull them out. Possibly the old wax needs to be boiled off the traps? I think you have to de-wax them, dye and then wax again. Exactly sure though, hopefully someone with some experience can chime in?

[@StompyFPV]

did ya miss the barrel with that walnut at 3:30? love the vids!

[@BornIn1500]

nah it went it.

[@daniellemarie8254]

Please stop in the animals I do not like it please stop 🙏👎💔

[@mikewhitman745]

Stop in the animal? That sounds like it's an illegal act in the USA.
