Channel Trapping Problem Beaver, We Caught a Giant!!!

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Awesome video 330!! It’s definitely nice to see you still out catching the beavers for such!!! I can honestly say that my favorite animal to trap is beavers and seeing what is the biggest beaver that I and my buddies can catch!!! Lol!!

[@PeteJones-g4b]

Thanks for posting! I really enjoy watching. Yesterday evening, i was setting some traps in a small stream that sits in between a lake and river. It was dark, and i had my headlamp on the lowest setting because im right by the road. It's better to not be noticed when your setting a $350 trap (thanks Wa.). Anyways im working away not really thinking about much, theres a few thin clouds out and a almost full moon. A beaver was enjoying a nice little moonlight swim down said creek. He didn't see me and i didn't see him till he bumped into the back of my leg that was followed immediately by the loudest tail smack he could muster. I launched out of that creek like man about to be eaten by the unknown. The beaver sounded like an outboard cavitating as he made his getaway. That was a first for me. Not soon to be forgotten.

Back in action Scott 👍 I am impressed how you hand set those 330’s appreciate your work.

[@LarryGenePate]

I really really enjoy your videos, one last thing i wanna do and i am 72 yrs old is trap a few beaver at my brother in laws and your videos help me!!

#1 beaver trapper on KZbin!!

[@bertram_oredrock]

Love when you catch the beavers. Keep nailing them 330 M. Good luck tomorrow.

[@heathboeddeker5401]

330Manniac Great to see ya back trapping Sir . Tight chains/cables in your future

[@judithdandavis2206]

like the looks of the new duke 330's . glad to see the safety was changed on them .

[@artfranz2273]

Yup looks like the same safety that’s on the Belisle’s. The beauty of this safety is you don’t have to wire them back, they grip tight enuf on the spring arm so they don’t rotate/move.

[@JR-3030]

Could hear the goldeneyes flying over when you heard the beaver chewing. My favorite ducks.

[@huntingandstuff9489]

It's good to know Victor makes beaver traps

[@georgepotter5101]

What a TOAD!!! Nice catch

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Great job my friend! I can't wait to get some of the new Duke 330s!! Thank you for sharing!

[@linato1855]

Great start,Scott! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@danielmastin3606]

Pretty nice catch, really like those Duke 330s. Definitely look pretty powerful.

[@baitammo4652]

That new Duke abought takes their head off!

[@matthewcarrigan8377]

Nice sets today brother

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Man this is awesome! Great work and great video as always!

[@330Maniac]

Thanks Joe!!

[@SteveandSusiesHomestead]

Maybe they will be able to use Duke in Canada now . Cheers

[@tylerferguson7672]

The new duke looks identical to the belsile, I found the belisile took off a lot of fur. Almost too powerful. My favorite 330 is the LDL brand, great traps.

[@loneranger8293]

Great video again sir! Sure looks like a Belisle 330, that Duke as safeties/dog the same.

[@330Maniac]

It's just like a Belisle 330, but like I said on the video trap supply companies are free to make a version to sell

[@loneranger8293]

@@330Maniac interesting , Duke smart to follow Belisle as my favorite for beaver with Bridger a darn close second. Good luck. Pulled up my beaver traps awhile back as ice up here in Manitoba finally. Onto fisher, marten, and yotes and perhaps the odd wolf.

[@bobpowers6239]

Good stuff Mark. Stay Safe

[@stevegilbertson5938]

I have a creek over here by New York M. Beaver got it all dammed up and flooding everything .

[@andyloebrown8250]

Then it sounds like you are infested. Once they arrive, it seems like it is a never ending task to reduce their numbers.

[@MikeLittle-b6b]

Slam wow!

[@brushcrawler8612]

Big male out there somewhere 🦫

[@markpinther9296]

atta boy!

[@scottlmbach707]

👍

[@brandontaylor3023]

Great work. Always super informative! What camera are you using to film your videos?

[@codyr8881]

Great video man! Just curious how long will you leave your traps out on a location/or when you’re not pulling anything out? Thank you sir!

[@mikewhitman745]

So on the narrow channel set how would you recommend setting if they need to be fully submerged? Just barely underwater with a dive stick across the top? At the bottom of the run with a dive stick above it? I'm required to be fully submerged.

[@330Maniac]

Yes, I've done it like that before in situations

[@mikewhitman745]

@330Maniac sweet, thank you bud. Keep up the good work, I've learned a lot from you.

[@ericmorton9570]

I thought this location looked familiar.

[@shanegeorge7344]

I think you should bring trap setter be easier

[@330Maniac]

Setting by hand is much easier and one less thing to carry

[@mikekroenke8424]

If you've ever had one snap on your hand, a setter is wonderful to have close at hand! Speaking from experience.

[@330Maniac]

@mikekroenke8424 I've broke fingers, had one of on my foot you name it lol. But not for maybe 15 years

[@camaro6810]

Where can you order the new Duke 330? They dont even show it on Dukes website

[@brentreynolds5381]

Did you find out who traps were there from last video!

[@widerivercc]

I’d have a lot more respect for Duke if they just admitted their strategy was copying other’s designs. Granted it’s brilliant and profitable because they minimize their R&D budget…

[@ottercat8527]
