This is my boyhood starting in 1951, it was all longsprings then.

[@jeremiahcornwell2986]

I love all your videos Sam! I'm almost 40 now and have enjoyed the outdoors trapping, fishing, and hunting my whole life. I think everyone out there who enjoys the outdoors can learn something from you. Not everyone out there with your kind of knowledge is willing to share it with other people, and you do it for free and ask for nothing in return! Your as good as they get in my book and I'll shake your hand any day. Thanks for all that you do, and best wishes to you!

[@arcticmorning]

Nice video....nice narrating.. nice vids of actual catches..

[@Grizzman600]

Thanks for the idea of putting a trap holder on a brick, never would have thought of that. I too use the bottom edge sets, but use a stick to anchor the trap down, and thats pretty hard to do on a rocky river bottom. Thanks again for the idea

[@sasquatchadk]

Nice video. We're switching to more 'rat and mink trapping this fall due to deer season overlap. Now I have to go buy some pavers to set up my bottom edge sets....

[@AAsportsmovement]

BNO I learned so much from watching this video. Trapping looks like so much fun.

[@TheUnFurtaker]

im learning a lot about muskrat/mink trapping from your videos, this year will be my first year trapping these critters..... keep em coming!

[@Makete100]

Excellent information. Wish I had found this years ago. You explained the bottom edge set like I have never seen before. Now I know what all the hype was all about. Another tool in my tool box. Thanks.

[@prairiecoyote7238]

Great video, nothing better in life then enjoying the outdoors trapping, hunting and fishing. Im up in Saskatchewan and mainly target coyote w/ power snares.

[@coalminer7755]

Nice informative videos, thanks for your time putting these out there.

[@Caleb1995trapman]

Your videos has help me a lot. Thanks

[@erikbogerman2048]

Sam I watch your trapping videos for a refresher course in trapping . Great stuff.

[@Mntrapper101]

That was awesome. Keep making more. Good job

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

Thanks for sharing Sam. Been trapping for a few years and never caught a mink. This year i am focusing more on rats and mink so i have been watching your video's.

[@tszrejna]

@bigtimebowfishing pocket sets are becoming harder with the low water. I will try the 160's though. I agree with some of the other guys the brick set (for lack of better name) is a great idea. I'm trapping a couple of bridges and undercut banks. I'm making the brick sets now..Should be fun. Will keep you posted.

[@thegangsta531]

I have to say, your videos are VERY entertaining haha, I've been watching them all day. Nice job sir keep up the good work.

[@firebat724]

i love your videos it has taught me a lot about trapping mink and muskrat. ps could you do a video on how to skin a mink.

[@hunterwhitaker8527]

[@sentient1macdaddy]

Nice video I was wondering if you can recommend a good video for creek trapping I want to hit it hard this winter as hard as I can with 30 traps lol.

[@randomredneck110213]

you should try a colony trap in the bottom edges

[@TheFishslayer2000]

what happened you have not made any vids for a looonggg time i love yr vids they are the best bowfishing trapping and hunting vids =D

[@randomredneck110213]

the muskrat are verry good eating

[@284Winchester]

Sweet. Thanks for the info

[@vic50291]

another nice video

[@WyattLeesman]

10 bucks for the fur, eat the meat, guts for bait. it all has its use

[@bmichielson17]

you should make a video on how to skin flesh and board a mink

[@gettindown01]

Im getting into trapping, and i was wondering if 1.5 coilspring dukes would be too big for muskrats and break their legs?

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Great catches Sam 👍👍 good lookin area too

[@angeli7212]

I noticed a lot of your sets are clearly visible right by the road. You must be lucky to be in an area where trap thieves are uncommon. Lots of good spots around me you're more likely to check your line to find your traps or catch (or both) are missing. Sad times in lots of places. But good video nonetheless!

[@angeli7212]

Hey what ever works for you, keep it up, and good luck out there

[@jeshua568]

could you make a vid on how you make those Brick rigs Love your videos and Great Catch (when ever you have time.)

[@laatdovahkiin7405]

I find 1.5 a little over kill for mink.. i usually use a 1 stoploss on a drown set.. but very nice catches, and good sets..

[@alexvanepps4465]

Are you planing on makeing more muskrat traping video this year.your traping videos are grate thanks

[@COPPER71]

I live in an area where my traps sets had to be hidden extremely well or they had the potential to "walk'. how do you keep your traps sets from walking. your setting right out in the open with boxes that can be seen for miles. i set about 150 traps a day and kept them moving so i didnt create a noticeable trail to them. i trapped mostly from a canoe trying not to leave tracks

[@SuperDiesel71]

Hi,, have a question. if you have a mink box that is sitting for awhile, how often do you freshin up the lure/urine? im new to this so pardon if a goofey question. Thanks and we enjoy your vids!

[@bocat8448]

we would like to see more vids

[@jettbumgarner7437]

We have a stream that runs through are land a bit bigger than that but in the summer I goes dry in some spots we also have cattle. Do you think it has muskrat we have trapped mink there but I wonder if there are rats thank you so much this video was helpful I liked it and I will subsibe.

[@johnpope3890]

Where do you get the clap for on the bricks? I like that system. Actually I like a lot of the things you do. Thank you for sharing

[@hunterwhitaker8527]

This video was really cool I want to start traping mink and muskrats any tips

[@bradgillis3701]

gotta love the trolls livin in disney movies. fence steeples(some callem staples)work good with the boxes too. short piece of wire makes switchin traps out or summer storage easier.

[@709reid]

nice video keep them coming

[@MrFxpman]

Good for you man smoking those river rats.

[@matthewpayne9070]

@KellyDermody... You have no idea what you're talking about. Those are body grip traps. They kill quickly and usually with a neck break. Neck breaks are considered the most humane way to put an animal down.

[@StormLaker]

I reported her for harassment. Sucks people have to be ignorant like that about ethical conservation practices.

[@StormLaker]

Maxine has been reported and blocked. Any of you other turd burgers want to take a shot?

[@Sesboy17]

Wow!

[@builtyankeegirl]

What's up with that running board on the truck? Might want to spend a few minutes fixing that. Great videos though love to see the conibear Clips in action. Beautiful Brooks your using also, any trout in those Brooks?

[@709reid]

the mink seem to be very brown in color, the ones we get are cold black

[@martinadejaquiz2482]

excellent liked!

[@lefthandcigg4253]

For the first 30 seconds w/o looking at the screen,I’m thinking this is some kind of old skit of Chris Farley

[@wvb628]

Hot rapper that's great I'm 11to but I started when I was8 keep on catching

[@zakbetts8795]

hi im just getting in to conibear trapping like i just got $90 worth of conibear's would a 160 work for muskrat or do you recommend the 110 thanks and God bless-Zak

[@tszrejna]

look forward to your videos all the time! Any advise on deeper river trapping for mink and muskrat? I caught a small female mink on a bottom edge about a month ago when the water was low but nothing since.

[@jjkostal]

@bigtimebowfishing i have a big problem with mink eating my trapped muskrats i check them daily sometimes twice a day and we set in the huts were allowed to in South Dakota ive set up some traps for the minks but i cant get one and the other day i was grabbing a rat outof the hut and i thought it was alive it was fight ing so a let go took of my gloves and sat down my stake so i could see in the hut and then i pulled it straight out it was frozen soild i think a mink was STILL feeding on it

[@16bigbass]

What brand of conibears do u use for your bottom edge sets?

[@coltonmcwhirter4445]

How much would you get for muskrats and mink in your state?

[@trappingthemitten]

12:20 Nice truck!

[@jhade8665]

Lol

[@mogges1]

Thank for showing this video.But aren't you kind of taking a chance show every one where your setting your traps.

[@flamedrag18]

[@bocat8448]

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Good stuff brother

[@mumurioste790]

love your videos I would like to know what type of bracket that is you are mounting to the mason bricks

[@SamWoodOutdoors]

@tszrejna they are threre you might wanna try pocket sets or 160's in the runs

[@pcsoutdoors5478]

Thanks for this video im gonna start trapping this year im only 13 so im gonna try anytips please comment to me

[@oldtimer5111]

Hi with the mink boxes having the trap right at the mouth how do you avoid catching non target species, even folk walking a dog sticking its nose in. I'm from the UK and it would be illegal to set the traps like this we would have to have the trap well inside the box with probably a bar across the mouth . Even when setting on private property where no one else should be we have to very careful. Edited to say great video.

[@SamWoodOutdoors]

@TheOutdoorsman07 gld you getting them hope i helped in giving you guys ideas

[@PuttaBeanInMe]

love the video man. im pullin lots of rats from this stream we're trapping. (by the way, this is TrappingTn. from trapperman)

[@bohdybauereiss8210]

[@rubyjean65]

Do you ever trap further than 50 ft from your vehicle?

[@heckoutdoors3199]

Can you secure your trap to the box I'm just getting into muskrat and mink trapping the two boxes I've made I have my conibears attached to the box using fencing staples

[@SamWoodOutdoors]

Heck Outdoors yes but still anchor the box down.

[@heckoutdoors3199]

Sam Wood Outdoors thank you

[@SamWoodOutdoors]
