Flying to Kansas to trap nest predator raccoons.

#yawtyawt #raccoon
Today we fly to Kansas to help trap some raccoons in hopes of helping the low number of turkey hatching. Raccoons are so bad on the nest and the turkeys need a little help. Plus the fur will be used and some of the meat.

As someone who has hunted and trapped all my life, I really enjoyed seeing this video. Urban people just see how “cute” the furry critters are and don’t understand the damage they do to populations of quail, turkey or other populations.

[@ronjohnson9032]

Urban people think coyotes are fuzzy and cute also. Until they are chewing on their kids and pets.

Thanks for bringing us along on the Yawt Yawt road trip. I truly enjoyed going along with your crew. Thanks!

Thanks for another great video...don't care what you trap, I thoroughly enjoy watching you and others doing a great service in helping to control nuisance animals. Thanks for sharing and wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and happy, prosperous hunting for the new year, God bless.

Thank you

[@jonburnett7137]

Welcome to Kansas, glad to have you here trapping raccoons and all nest predators. We certainly have an abundance of them.

[@josephcollins4336]

Good show!! Don’t give the negative people any time at all!! Great buck BTW!!

[@royrostjr1352]

Hello there David awesome watching you guys in Kansas

[@jerrywhite8209]

Really enjoyed the program today.

[@tomgrey2137]

I’m a firm believer in predator control. I’ve seen what happens when you don’t. Which is very sad to see the effects of ignoring predators. Great video 👍😎🤠

[@DavidEllisYawtYawt]

Yep yep

[@veralida7264]

Yawt, the only thing I find offensive is you killed MY 10 point buck!!! I thought you were going to save it for me!!!😂 Seriously, I'm still amazed at how beautiful it is, and I'm glad you hammered that big boy!!

Thank you

[@cindymcmurray6879]

Enjoyed. Merry Christmas.

[@bonniecramer8045]

In my experience, a raccoon can have up to 4 babies at a time. Now, if all 4 are females, that is 16 babies possible. No wonder there is an over population of them. Never corner a raccoon, it will tear you up. They don't just snarl at you...they can and will attack you.

[@damokebusdrivah9701]

Yes Wednesday a new Yawt Yawt episode mahalo for the video. Loved it very educational didn’t realize how much of a nuisance raccoons were. Also I never rode a small plane like that. Didn’t know about the air pressure. Again great video thank you for sharing your adventure. Can’t wait for Sundays next episode

[@DavidEllisYawtYawt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thomasbordi8726]

Great show as always love it all. And get that beaver out. And that muskrat!! Merry Christmas to you and your family 😊.

You make it fun David no matter what you are trapping. My dad was a hunter and two of my brothers loves to hunt but they never have time anymore. They work hard trying to keep the business going . And lately they both have been having health issues. That's the reality of growing old. Have a wonderful Christmas and a better New Year!

[@ritafirestone761]

You crack us up no matter what you trap or hunt. When you got your buck and dropped it, you were so excited and giddy. Nice buck by the way. The skunk was hysterical how you handled that. Merry Christmas and you and your family have a blessed New Year. ❤❤❤

[@dugncat]

You do a great job of illustrating why trappers trap, to mitigate the damage different wildlife can cause if allowed to over populate, not to mention the disease they can spread. And trash pandas, aka Raccoons are right up there at the top.

[@kimberlycard5595]

That was very interesting so thanks for sharing. I’m with you that skunk 🦨 needed too stay behind 🤣

[@reubengantt6298]

Mr Ellis, it was definitely exciting to watch this video! I come from a Line of Hunters and Trappers, with exception of Trapping Hogs. I enjoy EVERY KIND OF VIDEO on your Channel! I'm almost 80 years old and don't get to go Hunting anymore, but I make up for it by going Fishing! I hope you and your Family had a wonderful Christmas and that GOD will BLESS you all with a GREAT New Year!

[@sherrywilliams409]

Daniel Arms and Houston from the channel Arms Family Homestead in Oklahoma are about to start some trapping of raccoons etc. Trapping is in his family roots. He was named after Daniel Boone! lol They want to do their part in helping birds like turkeys etc live and thrive. Men may think I’m weird since I like this type of video. I do find this interesting plus anything that saves wildlife that my late husband hunted is a way I can honor his memory. He loved being in the woods whether he was hunting or not and I shared the love right along with him. He now lives with Jesus bc brain cancer took him. I have the peace only God offers and I’ll join him one sweet day. My husband called planes like that puddle jumpers and he hated them profusely!

[@DavidEllisYawtYawt]

Yep. Talked to them today

[@keithjones818]

David it's a good thing you're in fresh water, cause something big swirled the water behind you while you was pulling that beaver trap. Good luck in Kansas, safe trip.

The buck was a nice catch, I was raised in and lived in cities most of my life. However... I also have spent a lot of time on what was my grandparents' -and is now my- farm in rural South Carolina. I grow timber on it. So, about your ten racoons? Only a good start. I'm surprised your hog trapping is seasonal. in SC, it's year-round where they've invaded, Good luck & God Bless!

My mom used tomato juice and a hard bristle brush on me when I got sprayed by a skunk. It didn't completely eliminate the smell, but it sure taught me to never get close to a skunk again.

Loved the tomato juice joke!👍 Looks like the trapping was successful & although trapped the raccoons were not in acute distress. It is imperative that natural balance be achieved and maintained for all of the animals. Thanks for sharing! God bless!

[@DavidEllisYawtYawt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DetourswithFrank]

I fully believe in hunting and trapping, but I could never have the arrogance to think I am keeping nature in balance. 😮

[@margelittleboy]

@@DetourswithFrank I guess I need to understand how trying to undo the causes of over population by one species which was caused by destroying the animals that preyed on them, thus allowing, in this case, the raccoon to over populate, which then affects not only turkeys, but pheasants, grouse & many other species from being able maintain a stable population, is being arrogant. All of the creatures used to be important for the environment, but man & his ego for that almighty trophy, not just meat on the table, decided let’s try this & totally screw up what was once an abundance of a variety of wildlife. We’ve not only destroyed the wildlife populations, but also their habitats. Some are becoming wise and realizing that there less invasive ways to work the land & over time the land recovers and becomes more valuable & productive. Nature returns & a more balanced environment coexist. It’s always been a battle of animal vs man on land usage & sadly the animals lost & are losing daily. It would be terrific if mass hunts were not needed, but at this point it is. That won’t always be the case, at least that is my hope. I don’t mind a good hunt, I do mind the extinction of species because of man’s stupidity.

We did not have many beavers around home but we did have a problem with muskrats digging into our pond dams. We would set our traps similar to how you set your beaver traps.

[@WizardOVOz]

Love your videos, watching from Australia 🇦🇺

[@user-eb9tt8xr5n]

Here in western Maryland, most traps catch skunks before fox, raccoon, possum, etc. The skunk smell helps the set to cover the human scent.

[@timothylong68]

Nice video and Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@DonnaKnower_sez]

Hey! Great video! I follow an IA fur trapper who uses both dp and the [connabear] traps, so I was familiar with the process. What I DIDN’T know was about the ‘extra’ value of the essence and skulls. I know the trapper is happy to get skunks, but I assumed it just the fur. I bet he knows about the rest, but not if he bothers to harvest them. Man, I could tell you were in distress near the end of the video!! Sorry ‘bout that, but it did look funny…since it warn’t ME hahaha! I’ve used the Dawn, soda and peroxide mix on dogs and it really does work 👍😁! The tomato juice joke was a ripper!! Good one! And supper is ready, so bye for now. 💕👍

Hey David. Great video. Thank you for sharing. I have trapped a few skunks what I do is walk real slow holding up a blue tarp. Slowly cover him up then dispatch him then the tarp contains the spray . Hope it helps you . Again love the videos thank you. .

[@michaelmartinez8902]

Brother David, I'll tell you what would have freaked me right out, when the craft was taxiing to take off, seeing that flap of window molding (weather strip?) flapping in the wind. Loose stuff on something like an airplane, make me nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Plus I swear, when you were taking off, it was 2" & when you landed, it was about 3 & A half inches (shudder). Do you eat a trash panda? I have kin that do or have. They say it CAN be made to taste decent, but none brags about how tasty they are. You're God's Master Craftsmanship. Be blessed!

[@ejharrop1416]

Thankyou for a very informative and interesting video. The balance of nature is tricky and helping to control the over population of predators is so important. Controlling 10 point bucks is especially important, good on you. Take care, Merry Christmas to all, God bless each and everyone. Peace.

Hey David, loved your show "as always".... Just a comment on the EAR HURTIN, HOT FLASH. My wife and I flew into Chicago O'hare Airport and on the decent my ears started to burn and hurt. The pain was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. I simply could not stay in my seat and was almost to the point of tears. We hailed a stewardess and she instantly knew what to do. She grabbed two styrofoam cups and some paper napkins. She took the napkins and soaked them with hot water, squeezed out the excess water, then put some of the napkins in each cup. I placed the cups over my ears and immediately the pain went away! Yes, I looked like a goofas, but ask me if I cared? Now I know, you did not have all that on your little plane, but it may help some of your viewers at some point in time. Just sayin...It was the same as if Jesus had touched my ears. Maybe you should sell "yawt yawt" cups!
