Conibear School Episode 3: Triggers and Pans

[@matthewclark7781]

This is the single best and most informative trapping series Ive seen on KZbin. Thank you.

[@TonyGarrett-p1c]

Great channel! Cool dude! This trapping series is among the very best KZbin videos, on ANY subject.

When it comes to survival, feeding yourself or your family these lessons can save lives. It isn't always about selling furs. It is about having food to make it through bad times if need be or just feeding your family. Your videos are much appreciated. Thank you very much.

[@Meattrapper]

+Larry342516 That is exactly why I keep shooting the video and posting them. Thank you very much for your support my friend - I appreciate it!

[@barrymills387]

I just ordered some 110 and 220. I’m just getting started. So here I am watching your videos. Thanks.

[@paulanderson1915]

Good tips, thanks

[@wadetakahata]

useful information for when it''s really needed, thank you

[@MileyonDisney]

Great info. Thanks!

[@lordrichard8184]

I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos. They’re awesome!! Keep up the great work!!

[@13CRAZYDAVE13]

This was just what I needed, thanks for the tips!! I've had some 110's out attempting to protect my berries from the neighborhood rats, after a week all I'd done was feed them😖 I watched this video last night, modified the triggers today & set them as leg traps along the trellis. Boom!!! Nailed my first rat tonight just after sunset!!!

[@Meattrapper]

Great job!

[@13CRAZYDAVE13]

The Meat Trapper you got any recipes for squirrel? Those traps are keeping me busy day & night now lol

[@midnightblue69]

Excellent series! I'm a lifelong VA trapper, most KZbin trapping videos leave me almost incensed at their misinformation or irresponsibility, your videos are top notch, thank you!

[@Meattrapper]

Danny nuff'said Thank you sir, I really appreciate that.

[@contreeman]

[@parrotbill9072]

I use snares and footholds, a little scared to mess with bodygrips, as old as am, I may not heal very fast. Got my finger caught in a 110 and boy did that hurt. If I ever get some, they will be Bellisles with the extra safety.

[@andrewriley1053]

Great ideas!

[@NSTRAPPERHUNTER]

Great info and thanks for sharing. Later and all the best.

[@Meattrapper]

+NSTRAPPERHUNTER Thanks buddy - hope you have a great season this year!

[@camerona2697]

thank you for making all of this information available for free. i was wondering if youve ever used like a 110 conibear in place of a foothold trap in a regular land set like for raccoons or coyotes like you mentioned doing in this video. if it works just as good or good enough as compared to a regular foothold trap, itd make the 110 conibear just that much more versatile in a grid down sort of scenario.

[@bradgillis3701]

excellent video... A problem I encountered with walk thru coni pans was my hip catches on mink increased. You can also bend the ends of the trigger wires to add an extra trigger wire. Ive heard weasel trappers have the same issue with walk thru coni pans but ive never caught a weasel.

[@Meattrapper]

+brad gillis Good point - they do let the animal get farther in and you can't control the time the trap actually fires. Being a water trapper I don't use them much, but I'm going to do more experimenting this year with pans on 330's to see if they will work better on trap shy beaver.

[@bradgillis3701]

Thats a good idea for the beaver. ive had success switching to footholds for trapshy beaver, and otter too since we got a season them about 5 years ago they can be very tricky too. We can set snares in water here so if it has to be a dispatch set I'll use one of the snares but im not a snare man by any means. You know we've been getting a few traps out and tinkering. I may make a few pans for the 330s too. Thank you for the idea.

[@ImASurvivorNThriver]

Great information! Thanks for sharing.

[@Meattrapper]

Thank you for watching!

[@dalemyers9265]

nice vid. i had wondered if the conibear could be used as a leg or foot hold. i saw somewhere were one was converted to a cable throw to catch hogs by the leg... n.c. has tight restrictions on conibear usage. but when all else fails, guess what? i bought my 330 to rid our barn of ground hogs. and even then i can't make a bucket trap to catch them. ... n.c. has pretty much relegated the trap to water use only. and land use, to indoor barn or shed only.

[@Meattrapper]

+dale myers I will be doing an entire section on conibears as leg holds in my outlaw trapper video. They could be very effective in times of war if nails were welded on the jaws and the safeties removed. It would be near impossible for an enemy to free himself. He'd be anchored out in the open and could not be drug away to cover. If covered by sniper fire it could be a very bad day. Just a thought.

[@luannekarwanski8169]

Love ur vids they help a lot thank you

[@jeffreyjeffrey5317]

Nice video! Am from the Caribbean. Can you show more information about how to use a conibear as a leg hold trap?

[@danielorobio1824]

Greetings, I like hunting javelina and bale what trap do you recommend especially for javelinas?

[@GatorLife57]

Wado for sharing ! ENJOY....THE SIMPLE LIFE

[@Meattrapper]

+Wolf Travels2 No problem sir - glad it was useful.

[@sopoelectrician]

Hello, Its me again. I watched all four segments thanks learned lots. Unless I missed it you never really covered the two notches in the trigger you touched on it is segment two and said you would come back to it. Did I miss it or is there a different video in your collection that covers it. Thanks Oh and the reference to John Pry up here in Maine. I will have to look him up. :-)

[@Meattrapper]

+Jeffrey Berry Good catch! Funny how things slip your mind when you're talking. Anyway, as far as the two notches go, the outermost notch is the most sensitive and easy to set off, whereas the inner notch is more stable and takes more pressure to move the trigger. Thanks for catching that and have a good day sir!

[@kellypeterson5771]

Great information. Two questions. The big pan made on the bait pole spike for 330's is that only for beaver or could that same setup scaled down work on smaller traps? Do you have many mink in Alabama these days? Thanks, Kelly

[@Meattrapper]

Kelly Peterson It can be scaled up or down as needed. unfortunately we do not have a lot of mink or muskrat here these days.

[@kellypeterson5771]

So do you make the part that holds the jaws? If so do you have any video on that? Have not been able to go thru a lot of your videos yet so I apologize if you do have one. Thanks again

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

2 things. I've learned a lot from your videos. And, you remind me of a 10 year older version of Peyton Manning.

[@Meattrapper]

All I have to say to that is Omaha!! :)

[@RS-GraciPesca]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@michaelbrigman3516]

I've seen that yellow safety online at F&T but yours is the first video I've seen where someone uses it. I'm curious, have you had a 330 fire by mistake and this safety stopped it, and if so, how did it hold up to the pressure and force of the 330? Another good video MT. Thanks.

[@Meattrapper]

+Michael Brigman The safety easily handles the 330 firing because it catches the jaws before the springs have separated very far. It's the same principle as to why you can easily old the jaws of a 330 shut by hand once the springs are fully compressed - but it is very difficult to compress the springs by hand after they have fired apart fully. Hope that makes sense.

hi

👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍

[@pamtnman1515]

Every time your finger pokes that trap trigger, I wince in anticipation. Can you use a stick, instead? It is so distracting, waiting for you to get snapped
