MASSIVE Beaver Plows out of the Bank While Trapping! (Otter and Beaver Catches)

[@gregbowen9546]

Congratulations on the otter and beaver. Still trying for my first otter. Thanks for videos , learned alot from you the last few years.

[@ottercat8527]

Good stuff 330 ! Every time someone calls about beavers in their pond , I always look for the spot for an otter trap first ! I like my hoodie too . . . . . I really look good in it !

[@gksox]

Great stuff as always ! Ever thought of doing a "Maniac Bloopers" video ? Because Brother ... I'm sure you have 330's go off on you while you are setting up !!

[@330Maniac]

Thanks!! Honestly I haven't caught myself in about 10 years or more. But other bad things happen a lot lol

[@danielmastin3606]

Awesome catch, sweet Otters. That one Beaver was Huge 👍

[@MATTLEism]

This takes ice fishing to a whole new level.

[@dkaczrowski]

Nice looking beaver you have there Scott! Nice fishing with you yesterday. Happy Birthday!

[@derekwpennington1796]

Otters eat beavers??? Wow did not know that. Learn from you in every video. Little tips or tricks or big info like this. Love your content. Much respect from Maine. Lost left leg on christmas morning of 2021 so cant trap but live thru your channel. Never stop. You do so much more than youll ever know.

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Awesome three days on the line for sure buddy!! Keep up all the hard work buddy!!!

[@pankonen]

After all the years you’ve been at it I love hearing how excited you are when you pull traps. Trapping is seriously like Christmas morning every check! Was happy your store got a 3x hoodie in so I could support your work. Thanks for everything I’ve learned so much! Trapped my first two of many more to come! I’m dreaming of an otter too!

[@330Maniac]

Thanks Tom!!

[@johnsundelin5435]

Awesome! I pulled my traps here due to shotgun deer season as well.

[@johnvaness8445]

Great video, stay warm.

[@mr_approachable4759]

Ordered a sweatshirt and it showed up today . They look nice and I'm wearing to check traps tomorrow

[@melvinkidd1813]

another great video love watching them 👍👍👍👍

[@jimmyboy5597]

I enjoy these, thanks for all your effort.

[@kennethcivitts2268]

Enjoy watching your beaver trading videos.

[@floydlenz2280]

Nice catches Amigo.. Otter is on my list, just not much water trapping where i am.. Keep'em coming

[@tracyproctor3344]

Those otter are pretty cool. Wish we had more of them in my area of Nebraska 👍👍👍

[@nickyeary2727]

Otters eat 25% of their body weight a day and can clean fish out of a small pond before you know they are there. You might want to rethink wanting them in your area. Just my opinion Lol.

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Another banger trappin video man that was a chunky ass beaver. 👊💀

[@taylorsorgatz6789]

Nice beaver dude

[@chrisforthy]

Awesome video! I get pumped every time you upload a trapping video. Keep em’ coming.

[@judithdandavis2206]

congrats on the otter catches . everytime i pull up a drowner and see one , it is exciting . we get them tanned and keep them . it is hard to sell for less than 20 bucks .

Nice catches man! Have you ever watched one swim through a trap before?

[@alexdingle4292]

Had a sprung trap yesterday then came back and got a skunk 😂

[@ireknyrek7373]

Super brawo ty

[@bowslingeroutdoors3653]

Hopefully you get that 60" otter! Checking otter sets tomorrow and hoping i get the one that destroyed the set and got away

[@chrisholt7248]

I want some beaver stew 😍

[@moosebrandon8665]

Been years since I've done some good trapping some good old memories

[@keithkierstead7358]

Now that you have a limited out on otters what happens if you get one ?

[@330Maniac]

Call the CO and he picks it up

[@jeffholmes5146]

Another awesome trapping video! Looks like you use a lot of Duke 330's. Is that your go to trap or do you really prefer Belisle 330's?

[@cc519]

What kind of gloves are those at 26:13 ? Its not listed?

[@330Maniac]

I got those from a local guy that buys my deer hides

[@jedclampett6466]

What a tanker.....

[@miketibbettsjr208]

You ever have one blast out while you’re standing in the run ?

[@Savage3OO6]

Otters haven't been in my neck of the woods for over 100 years, but as of two years ago they were spotted about 20 miles away. I keep waiting for the day that I check a beaver trap and find one. Considering that I'm on the great lakes, it's 20 miles of all water, so it's just a short swim.

[@330Maniac]

They most likely aren't that rare. Seeing them around here is extremely rare but there are thousands of them around here

[@Savage3OO6]

@@monicacahill3552 Correct.

[@derekwpennington1796]

Im part otter myself😂😂😂 been known to eat beaver myself😂😂😂

[@kwrath96]

Are 330s too much for an otter? Is there a higher risk of damaging fur offers 220 or 280?

[@Northwoods208]

I catch them in 330's, fur damage isn't much different, I always put the trigger on the bottom when I can, that helps

[@peterjones7288]

Only problem I’ve ever seen with a 330 is depending on your trigger placement sometime they can slip through or you can get a hip catch. If I was targeting beaver only sometimes I would move the trigger to one side and bend one wire parallel to the bottom jaw

[@misterexponential]

Newer sub here…what do you do with those animals?

[@brucekiszely2995]

Michigan?, Lt, ya might wanna check the regs regarding that 220 bodygrip bobcat set?!

[@330Maniac]

Not Michigan

[@НигдеНикто-т2у]

👏

[@Dunlap-uj5zl]

👍

[@colin8532]

What happens if you're limited out on otters, and end up catching more while you're targeting beavers?

[@330Maniac]

Call the CO and report it. They will take it

[@colin8532]

@@330Maniac - Makes sense, hope they don't give you a hard time when it happens. Really enjoying your videos, thank you :)

[@peterjones7288]

I’ve seen a few times where the otters dig holes in the dam drain the pond and feed on the minnows and stuff trapped in the low water

[@georgeparrault9945]

I’ve heard Otters are fast enough to trip them and not get caught.

[@jeraldseberger5414]

If you'd been standing there your waders would have been full and not from water

[@coleolson4888]

You ever use the 330 stands under the ice

[@hilljackoutdoors2808]

Have you ever caught one while you were still there setting traps? Also ever had one hit ya in the leg coming out of a den while you were setting one. I'd be having to change my pants man.

[@330Maniac]

Yes to both a few times. Definitely makes you jump haha

[@tarisco614]

When you take the beaver/otter out of the trap and push back on their arms/legs what are you doing? Just trying to break the rigor mortis or something?

[@330Maniac]

Yep

[@scottswift1394]

Do you ever catch anything that isn't 2 years old?

[@330Maniac]

Usually a lot of small beaver. For some reason the ponds I been trapping have been running big on size

[@traviscoates6878]

I’ve never had a sprung trap, there’s always something in it

[@danschutz2163]

Always good show bro. Stupid question maybe. Does anybody eat otter. What happens to all the beaver meat. I know u eat beaver but not that many. That wasn’t supposed to be a funny pun either. Normally I would’ve meant it to be a dirty joke but I’m interested

[@nickyeary2727]

Otter meat is terrible, We tried it a few years ago. They are part of or related to the Weasel family.

[@abbym1976]

Are otters nuisance animals like beavers?

[@nickyeary2727]

Yes. Otters eat 25% of their body weight a day. If you have a small pond they will decimate the fish population in short order.

[@connorhany351]

get a spud bar man it will save you so much time and energy

[@330Maniac]

I use one for beaver trapping all the time when setting traps. An axe is much faster for checking though for me.

[@hoyt15flhtk82]

Hopefully your joking or you apparently you don't watch to many of his videos. He uses a spud bar all the time and preaches the same.

[@SchwarzeskabelGWP]

With it being too shallow for a trap what about a snare I’ve seen you use them before

[@330Maniac]

Yes if I was sure it was gonna freeze hare over night I'd use a snare

[@DavidHague-u7z]

Live Action! dbh

[@buzzsaw5475]

Havent trapped in ears, but just bought 25 acres with nice creek coming through...mink, fisher ,coyotes..time to start again!! to hell with the haters, it takes a certain kind of person to do what trappers do...they bitch while they eat their steak, or chicken fahitas!! as long as its in saran wrap, its ok,,keep up the good work, gonna get organized for next year!!! merry christmas, God bless!

[@Eternalcloudwanderer]

Do you eat them? If not, what do you do with them?

[@thistledewoutdoors3331]

Do you Target otters ? If they kill Beaver , wouldn't keeping them alive help keeping the beaver population down ???

[@330Maniac]

Unfortunately there is no way to avoid catching otters. They travel the same areas as beaver

[@isellcatlitter]

in my opinion your go pro video quality is every bit as good as your tripod videos , and the audio from your go pro is 15 TIMES BETTER than your tripod camera.. just saying...
