How To DYE & WAX NEW TRAPS | Predator Trapping

Trapping predators has become a past time at the Waddell farm and as we've very well learned, trapping is an art. Michael Waddell us walks through how to dye and wax brand new traps to prepare them for action. After learning from others, here's the way he like to do it.

This is absolutely awesome. Someone of your caliber being able to to reach the public and show the art of trapping. I hope more and more people jump on board with trapping. It’s one of the most important seasons in my opinion.

[@BoneCollectorTube]

Thanks Jarett! t's so cool! Can't get enough

[@123Outdoors]

So glad to see y’all promoting trapping!

[@jamesbaird681]

I'm about to move to Georgia!!! New Mexico where I live is shutting down to trapping! I got into it 3 years ago and I absolutely love it . Keeping the predator population in check is very important to our way of life . Love all your videos, you guys are down to earth good ole boys and not all HOLLYWOOD!! Have a good one .

[@fullyenvenomated757]

Real good video brother. Thanks a bunch for taking the time!

[@florentarchambault6110]

I man, i am a french Canadian from Québec, Canada and like you i am a hunter, a fisherman and a trapper. We see you have fun to do it!! Thats pecfect body!! You doing well, even if you new in this sport, you doing it with passion! Lot of people follow you with bine collecter. Congrat man, you are a good ambassador!👌👌💯 Best thing i can say for all of you who try trapping is have FUN, because it fun!!

[@brandonscott2091]

watch about putting that anchor in the wax sometimes it will cause you driver to stick to the anchor. No real need to get them rusted just degrease them and alot of times i use the wax and dye together in a deeper pot so when you pick them up its all in one. Glad to see you document learning something new and showing all the details especially something that can be soo controversial at times! Keep it up!!!

[@redwolfmedia1276]

Really cool set up. Thanks for sharing!

[@dgwoods1970]

It so awesome to see you trapping. I have followed you since the real tree days!!! Tight Chains brother and welcome to the trapping family!!!

[@lsoutdoors2354]

Didn't know y'all trapped!!! I been doing it 31 years and love it!! Keep great vids coming!!! U can us white vinegar to make them rust to if it's cheaper than the asid u used!! We use straight white vinegar soak all day then wash them off they rust in matter hrs

[@featherbuster1]

Awesome segment

[@timothyjones8858]

Thank you for sharing this video with us.

[@marillahills91]

Awesome video!! This is why I been watching you since the beginning. I even have the bone collector tattoo lol

[@BrokenTWelder]

Welcome to the world of trapping. It's for sure a great part of our heritage.

[@dljkson]

good stuff brother, love the Hank eggtimer method

[@jonathanchristenberry3394]

Dag on Michael those are good numbers for your first year of Trapping. Welcome to the Brotherhood, Tight chains.

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

Bone collector trapping video would be great.

[@Michaelkenjarrell01]

Great video, I have been trapin 30 year an still learning best luck to yall,,

[@barryrowland2095]

Been watching you hunt for years and always enjoyed. I trap also, amazing when almost immediately you see increase in deer and turkey in your area

[@breezyridgeranch]

Let's see a trapping video!!

[@BoneCollectorTube]

Check this one out! backyard.exmark.com/rural-lifestyle/trapping-tips/

[@johndoe43]

Good job. When pulled out of the water a light shake up and down will remove water drops and trap will dry quickly. You are doing it right. Don't let someone change your way.

[@PhilandAlex]

Thankful for your educational video

[@shanonboykin717]

I think I'm going to go with the Minnesota brand just for it being American made, thanks for the video and knowledge for the first timers!!!

[@ellobo1326]

Our property is heavily populated with coyotes. (And hogs too 😡). I’m gonna spend more time this year while down there to set traps. I’m a rookie. Have only caught one in my life. Hope to get decent at trapping coyotes.

[@chadmahler9132]

Muratic acid needs neutralized with baking soda to stop it from eating up the trap.

[@BrocktheRock87]

Don’t forget helps the rabbits to! I hunt just about everything but rabbit hunting over my hounds is a absolute blast. SC

[@AppalachianAsain]

Awesome! Merry Christmas 🎄 🇺🇸

[@douglasbattjes3991]

I wash my new or old traps in Dawn dishwashing detergent , gets rid of the oil better than anything then over night in vinegar so the dye with take, Good job an keep trapping 👍👍

[@larrysimmons7719]

Great video thanks

[@midmichigantrapping7549]

Awesome video! 🤙🏻 trap on

[@monkeyminer892]

Trapping is new to me too, just starting out

[@seibelmark2175]

Looks good

[@tomhairston9557]

I trapped back when furs brought good money, 35 yrs ago..but your video makes me want to drag out all my stuff and get after those critters this next winter...good luck!!

[@carterpernell4011]

I'd be interested in seeing some of your trapping sets in a couple of how to videos.

[@BoneCollectorTube]

Here's one that we did for the Exmark Backyard Life: backyard.exmark.com/rural-lifestyle/trapping-tips/

[@jasonbrazzell2313]

Just received some Duke's 550's and ready to get em dyed and waxed and hopefully catch some of coyotes running around up here in South Carolina

[@jutnjenrasmussen8637]

Looking good guys!! If you don’t want to make such a mess just throw them in the dishwasher, pull them out and paint then wax. I usually paint on spring and wax in the fall before season. It’s great to see you guys in the trapping world for sure! Tight chains

[@nancyevans2666]

What kind of wax?

[@jutnjenrasmussen8637]

@@nancyevans2666 just unscented wax from hobby lobby

[@Ranger.Vt.]

Old timers boiled traps in water with sumac buds. My uncle showed me this. Turns the traps nice and black.

[@larrysimmons7719]

Hopefully you'll come out with a new trapping video this year

[@jeremymoeller4797]

is your wax pot just 100% wax or is there water in there with the wax just floating on the top?

[@lobopropredatorcontrol]

Well I didn’t know you trapped, liked the channel before

[@tylerbarras8276]

Question.. how much wax is needed for 4 traps?

[@gizmotony1234]

should you die and wax a 110 conibear trap ? new to this thank you

[@muddymoriveroutdoors3353]

Let's see the trap line. 550 pro are awesome...

[@brutusjb3814]

How often do you have to dye and wax them

[@russgosnell818]

That's how I gage what I'm doing too buddy, that and beers down! 😆 🤣 😂

[@frez777]

You did it right!!

[@johndoe43]

One thing. I wouldn't use the acid but if you do neutralize with baking soda. I use acid to remove rust but it makes me nervous on some stuff. I make a paste with water and use a bristle chip brush followed with a good rinse or two or three.

[@KJMJ1228]

Awesome job trapping those nasty things that really hurt deer and turkey population. Love to see a video of bone collector trapping southern style

[@kitclayton5144]

I’d like to see you do some trapping on your BC show.

[@waylonlegend4603]

6 hank songs and 5 beers. That’s the time

[@MrMharley]

Michael where do you recommend getting the trapping supplies? Great video 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@CottonTheHaloFreak]

Hoosier trapping supply online has a raccoon sized beginner package for $200 comes with wax dye 12 traps and cables to secure the traps down and a trapping hammer

[@CottonTheHaloFreak]

Also comes with lure and bait

[@robertshirlingjr.6988]

What camo you wearing now?

[@BoneCollectorTube]

Realtree! Element outdoors

[@larrygregg2241]

👍👍

[@knobcreekoutdoors135]

I wash my new traps in the dishwasher believe it or not and it works good

[@heyman6010]

If you ever get a badly rusted trap. Drop them in a bucket of vinegar. It takes a few days but it removes all rust and no metal. Works for bolts and car parts also.

[@Sitka_Blacktail_Hunter]

No need to remove the rust. Due them and they’re gonna really soak in that dye

[@hjones899]

Vinegar will rust them the same just an FYI

[@sweetsour4459]

Jug is the only measurement. And we understand it. That's the brotherhood lol

[@sundowngates2087]

Carolina coyote on KZbin has great tutorials.

[@georgezink8256]

Put your bees wax on top of water the way your doing it is very dangerous? I was burned by hot wax years ago

[@bavariasuhl]

what are some of the better youtube videos on trapping ?

[@SilviaCo-qb4sf]

TRAPPER J

[@outdoorswithcam]

I don't understand why you want to rust a new trap. Just put them in the ground then dye post season. Love my MB550.

[@hjones899]

I just wax new and set. Those look like the new duke 550s (square pan). Love my MBs too !

[@sheltowee8079]

So 30 minutes Hank Williams time?? Sounds like a real measurement to me

[@jeremykennedy9124]

Check out Trapper J on KZbin he's good and has his own line of baits

[@mattingly1217]

Instead of all that wax just boil some fresh water and throw a bar on the boiling water... you can wax a dozen at a time.... and less back pain

[@jackriley5974]

A little over 100 years ago, at the end of the season, a trapper would leave his traps hanging in trees on his line. He never dyed or waxed them. But then, neither did he drive around his line on an ATV loaded with "necessary" gear such as cordless drills and cookie cutters?

[@schlomoshekelstein908]

i've never dyed or waxed my traps. i bought em new with the oil on em and just put em out and caught plenty of shit. i'm in california though so maybe the animals are dumber out here. they rust up quick enough, or a horse steps on them and bends them all to shit

[@bryaneckert6371]

I truly believe kids need to learn trapping to Eat later in Life that and gardening ! Only going to get worse !

[@georgezink8256]

Thank y’all for getting word out there about greatness of trapping? You will learn more about critters when u trap them ? But I’m asking a favor ??? Take a picture and post the day a fox or yote ,,, poops on top of your trap after it digs it out turns it over and craps on it !!! Then sir, you will have met a once caught animal

[@deloachgator251]

Deer hunters don't care about other hunters like fox and cat hunters

[@schlomoshekelstein908]

lol are you a cat hunter?

[@deloachgator251]

@schlomoshekelstein908 not much places left to run cat. We run fox and yotes mostly.

[@schlomoshekelstein908]

@@deloachgator251 i live in california and get coyotes and raccoons all the time. i had a cat eating my rabbits and I set a trap for him but apparently he was getting chased by a coyote and ran thru my trap and i got the coyote, and then the cat hid in my toolshed. when I went to grab a shovel from the shed the fuckin thing hissed and jumped at me i nearly shat myself
