Young man, you got your shit together, keep doing what your doing,

[@travisturner3100]

I have been tanning hides for about 3 years now. Would like to see the item's you make with your furs.

[@bbcustomoutdoors]

I’ve learned a ton from your videos. I’m looking forward to this series.

[@randallburnett7926]

Wd-40 that chair other than that great video great idea can't think of any questions right now but I am going through the comments and liking the questions that I would like to hear the answers to....keep up the great work

[@aaronpaxton4026]

Yes on the Wd-40 ! haha

[@Fortyjustice]

Why does everyone think that WD-40 is a lubricant?

[@michaelgallagher4962]

Get some white lithium grease and spray that chair. Lasts longer than a day like wd40 does.

[@growhuntkillcaneat]

Formula 3000 or Fluid Film is a much better option than wd for lubricant.

[@dennislafluer257]

Great vid! Drinking the old Natty Light! Nothing like drinking cheap beer in the fur shed.

[@mikelbhardin7202]

Be glad to see when fur prices go up so you can buy some good beer 😁 just kidding great video keep up the good work

[@davehansen8405]

great minds think alike. got the exact same knives. plus a zillion more that i dont use anymore. i also agree with you about the mud. i live in ohio and the mud is a huge issue. if im trapping around water, which i usually am in early season, ( no ice yet) i just throw the muddy ones in the creek and give em a good rinse hang em up head first and put a fan on them

[@bradleycoles8273]

Glad to see you back trapping again, looking forward to the videos.

[@ralph5469]

Love the Q & A format. Glad to see you back in the fur shed. I liked and followed the boat build, but have missed you being on the trap line and in the fur shed. Glad to hear that we'll be seeing more of that this season.

[@spencerspears7461]

Glad your hanging with us. Been using your techniques of fur trapping and handling the last two seasons here in SEMO.

[@Fortyjustice]

I’m in SEMO, too. I hope that you catch a bunch of critters!

[@Gabe-ue1fj]

I'm 13 and love your videos. I just bought a tail stripper, a tail zipper, and a fleshing knife. I can't wait for them to come in the mail😃

[@hvac1238]

Your videos are the only reason I decided to start a trap line for the first time this year. Keep it up and thank you.

[@longlowdog]

Really glad to hear you are going to be present through the winter. We don't mind night time vid's and we will understand if pressures of work and home life mean you can't maintain regular vids. When ever you are feeling up for it we will watch. Regards from Scotland.

[@stevepace6032]

I just want to say thanks. I have used you videos numerous times to help my skin and put up all kinds of critters. Thanks

[@jamiebenjamin1872]

I would really like to see how you make your coyote stretchers

[@shanek6582]

He’s got a good video, I made two stretchers for coyotes a couple weeks ago from his measurements and have already used them, they work great.

[@rickmcninch7100]

A real pleasure watching your videos

[@Backdaft94]

Just wanted to give you a huge thank you, I had gotten out of trapping for almost 20 years and got back into it....a lot had changed and youre videos helped me get caught up. Especially with fur handling. Keep up the great work, and thanks again. Looking forward to more trapline videos.

[@charlesmurray1220]

Did ya "Like" the vid?

[@OttBryce]

Love this channel dude. When I started trap’n I came here for quick tips and tricks that have let me quit my job and work from home as a bowyer and during the winter a decent trapper and easily make ends meet. Thanks man.

[@stillwater62]

I am old, and I am always learning something new, like a technique that helps me get the job done faster, AND better. You never stop learning, so I appreciate every trapper that shares their knowledge, and experience with others. Thank you, CCO, for sharing.

[@bigpapaskinner2854]

I washed my fur this year because of you it turned out so much better thank you all your videos are awesome and very good info

[@geraldrice9959]

I started watching boss of the swamp videos about four years ago and then I found your channel and I was hooked. Your way of explaining the entire process really helped me with my processing and I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you. Thank you

[@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.

[@karenarens9168]

Love your videos. Good educational information.

[@Jeffrich308]

Awesome Video! Thanks for your time!

[@mikewatson6666]

Been trappin for nearly 50 years and have to say your videos have help me be a better trapper thanks keep up the good work

Awesome job keeping it short enjoyed both of these videos!

[@alj4940]

Very good to hear you are going to do these , I started trapping in 1970 and yes that was a long while ago. I still learn and will always learn as most folks should know. I have learned quite a bit from you over the last few years believe it or not and I personally want to thank you for taking the time. I know it takes a lot too. Al

Wash BEFORE fleshing.. learned something on the first one. Thank you sir!

[@camus6208]

Curious to know what do you do with all the critters carcasses? Dog food ?

[@vanillagorilla9790]

I have a friend that takes all mine and makes dog food.. He will stop and pick up road kill sometimes.. Lmao i would never..

[@killerar15]

I've been watching for awhile now, just went back and watched your older vids, you showed your Pogo puller but watching quite a few 15+ I've never seen you use it. Could you show us new guys how to pull different stakes / anchors, like a tips, tricks and dirt cheap solutions for us tight wads.

Awesome video. I found your channel a couple of days ago, and can’t stop watching. Thanks for being so generous with all of your knowledge and experiences. I am going to start trapping on my ranch in the next week or so, but i wanted to see if you had any tips or tricks for the waxing and dyeing of traps. Look forward to the next one! Cheers.

[@erictodd7239]

Hey man love your videos keep the TIPS coming!

[@Curtmiller1968]

Great job! I have learned a lot from your videos. You do an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating. Thank you!!

[@VicsYard]

Thank you sir!

[@KhaosRhythm]

These Q and A's are a great idea. I was hoping to get your thoughts on a couple of things recently and wasnt sure which video to comment on. Getting on with the questions then. Do you eat anything you trap? If so, any tips or precautions? And what do you do with all the carcasses mid season if the ground is frozen? I'm curious as to what system you've come up with. Thanks for taking the time to read this if ya did.

[@elisaunderlin9624]

Are you able to snare in your area? If so start dropping them in a spot where you can put snares and no one get mad. ( not on piblic ground) you'll start seeing where animals are coming in to eat. Walk the same trail in and out every time. When the snow gets deeper and hard to set steel put your snares in. You'll catch fur. Its one way.

Glad you're back on the brother. Really enjoy the vids. A while back you said you'd make a video on how to make that backpack style gun sling. If you're looking for material I think that would be a good one care. Give ol rebel dog a treat he's gotta be feelin old now. Really enjoyed watching him.

[@saskabush133]

My question is do you snare and if so what do you use? Here in Saskatchewan we use the ram power snare usually around bait sites and works very well. We are pretty lucky to have the western heavy, average around 100$ per dog. Thanks stu.

[@tonysummers6879]

So glad you're doing this series! I attempted to wash several after skinning, but I don't have a washer, and they took a while to dry!!

[@elisaunderlin9624]

I do like he said before I flesh. What I found helped me. Get a rolling pin and roll it. After that grab it by the nose and snap it a few times. Or another way I speed it up but don't be so close your cuttinf the hide is an air compressor to help push water out.

[@furzfinz2881]

where do you buy the reground butchers knives?

[@crptguy7]

Good tip on the washing pelts before fleshing. I never knew keeping all the fat on helps dry it out faster

[@bobmohr5532]

like the fur shed video!!! Keep up the great work

[@frankmarks3595]

As usual your videos are informative and I see this series being the same as all the others. Personally I have taken a lot of Info from your videos and applied it. Keep up the great work

[@willythomas584]

Thanks for sharing. Where do you get those knives? I’m starting trapping again after 40 plus years. A lot has changed since then on supplies. Never used wax sand or the traps really didn’t need adjusted, the pan was level when I would buy new traps. The price was cheaper also. lol I can’t wait until this season, I really missed trapping. The challenge is a great feeling and the feel of the fur. I sure would appreciate the info on the knives. Thanks

[@chrisgentile3521]

Nice, looking forward to it.

[@kentcostello8099]

I'm trapper I like your videos good info for trapping and your Wright about the butcher knifes .

[@rackemwells]

Question for next video.... How does a new trapper get started? I can assume the obvious, but from your eyes and setting ones self up for success.... Do you get a small amount of the same trap, chase one specific critter, keep it small, master the basics before trying to run a 100 set line? Get say some footholds, some coniber, work an area and catch what's in it... etc etc

[@rackemwells]

Just seems like you need space, a freezer, spare washer, 1/2 dozen knives, a plethora of sized boards for many animals, beaver hoops, 6 conibear 3 330’s 1/2 dozen footholds wire blah blah blah... beginners tackle box could be a $40 rod reel combo, pack of hooks, bobber, worm...

[@jasonwilliams3177]

Time is priority one.

[@rackemwells]

@@jasonwilliams3177 You ain't kidding... Trapping just seems like more of a lifestyle than a hobby. So much prep and learning before you even see a critter, then you gotta have an arsenal to tend to that... All revolving around time

Patience is priority one...

great video. New to trapping the last two seasons. Was fleshing out a coyote that I shot while hunting deer and noticed how much blood was still on the fur after I pulled it of my beam. Did not know what to do so I washed it nice and clean in my garage sink and boarded it. Took forever to dry proper and did not turn out that good. wont make that mistake again. What is your ideal temperature in your shed while drying boarded critters? Thanks in advance.

Thank you and where do you buy your knives
