Modern Trapping Part 10 Flat Set with Visual Attractant

[@MaritimeDisplaced]

This is a great series, Dave! Thanks, for taking the time to share it.

[@USMC65UH34D]

I am enjoying the series Dave and thanks for passing on what you have been learning and I'm sure we are all going to learn from this series. Thank you, Jim

[@grupogatodomato]

Dave, I am a big fan of yours here in Brazil. I love your videos, I always learn a lot from them. Congratulations on videos. In country hunting is prohibited, but still we always find a way to have a good hunt. A hug.

[@rbljackson]

No trapping experience here, but im enjoying the series. What I DO know is that new property is a deer hunters dream!! That area with the fields and woods border must be full of game trails. Hoping a deer hunting series in the makes too. keep em coming dave!

[@420drwilldo]

Hey brother dave I jest wanted to say thank u for all you do for you'r community and to get ppl more into bush craft as well as being a good teacher may god continue to bless you and evey thing u do brother

[@Mrcampingkid]

Hi dude. just wanted to say i get so much from your vids, NEVER STOP

[@diejestor]

Thanks for another informative vid Dave. Appreciate your time and effort.

[@flyod26]

Great series Dave, Keep them comming and let us know what you catch!

[@PolluxA]

Nice video, Dave. I have learned a lot from this. I don't have any experience with this kind of trapping. Where I live we're not allowed to use foothold traps. It's a big problem. Pine marten and red foxes have devastated the population of ptarmigan, capercaillie and black grouse. With this method we'd take out a lot more foxes than we do. When I set my marten traps I use feathers as lure.Caught 3 marten in my first 3 traps the first week of last years season by using feathers and honey.

[@BigHickory357]

I really like these videos on trapping. I had NO knowledge of trapping prior to watching. Now i have enough to get me in trouble lol. Thanks awesome video.

[@jonahwalker7717]

I like seeing all of these forms of visual attractant. I heard of people using everything from shot up squirrel hides to partridge feathers to cd's to attract animals. Visual lure can be almost as important as smelling lure.

[@dlvmark]

@Jeff, Plants are prob the first food cuz they are everywhere but it depends on the time of the year. Fankly I would not choose just one. First take care of the rules of three. Then scout for small game and set traps. Put out several fishing lines if water is around. Only after I set up camp and traps and fishing lines do I hunt. Thats me but it all depends on the situation.

[@dlvmark]

Can't wait to see the catches! Maybe we can see Dave eat some coyote! Lol This is so much fun I love the series! More, more, more!

[@Birchpointoutdoors]

great series dave! i really like it

[@shorty430551]

I have seen another type of earth anchor that has two attachment spots. One for the trap, just like the anchors your using and another on the end to prevent the toggle action for a easier removal. They cost a few dollars more, (per dozen, they have a higher hold capability for softer soil) but I would think NOT having to carry the extra weight of a large crowbar when you're hopping to be carrying meat home would be worth it.

[@mgt00656]

NICE VIDS, I m new to trapping but do you have to pull those earth anchors up to set them after u drive them in. I have the berkshire and I think u have to pull up to set them. Let us know how those type anchors work. Prob take a truck to get em out of the ground, they look heafty!!! Good luck, keep vids comin

[@bearkify]

Hey Dave, love your trapping series man. Do you have plans to demonstrate setting up in areas that get deep snow and freezing temps? Just a thought. Have a good new year.

[@EatCarbs]

Very cool video Dave! Did you catch anything yet? Thank you for all your hard work, =D

[@MNTrapperNate]

I know this is a mock set..but just giving you some pointers. First you Really shouldn't be blowing on your set to find your pan, use a small stick. Your pan tension should be heavy enough so it wont trip. Your blowing a lot of scent to your trap. Also don't put your lure bottles in your sifter! They smell and will contaminate your dirt. And lastly your pan is way to close to your attractant. When a coyote sniffs it they're legs are 9 inches back or so, not right next to it. I hope this helps!

[@danialburns4308]

I've stopped trapping for a few years now but I remember the last visual site that I made no trap was set 'cause I was out. I had found an old coyote skull and I put it 20 yards from the tree line in the farmers field and sprayed/misted it with red fox urine just to see how the coyotes would react. I redid that skull every day for 4 days and yes each day that spot and skull had been torn up. When I did get a trap there I had no takers

[@ArtisanTony]

Have you had any luck with these traps yet? Nice videos!

[@glynnellis5050]

Thank you Dave.

[@EnviromentSurvival]

In your opinion (Dave) what is better for most of trapping a long spring, double coil, or double long spring. You may have said this in one of your other videos but i don't remember, and you have been using the coil a lot in your other videos and i was just wondering.

[@01doubledog]

dear dave im 11 and i am very interesed in survival and trapping you have made my life so enjoyable someday i want to be like you i watch yours and codys shows and i was wondering when you will make new shows your fan and hopefully freind. p.s please type back

[@ssracer16]

plant som alfalfa in that field! it looks like a fantastic white tail set up!

[@jaxboonie]

dave, in another video you mentioned that your watch had a compass on it. could you tell us what type/brand watch is this? thanks for the vids brother.

[@ChadronMike]

Lately i have been using your technique for setting spring traps but how do you feel about putting bait (specifically rabbit guts) under the trap? Now it has been working for me lately but I have a nuisance badger that has been digging around the traps and rendering them ineffective. Do you have any advice on neutralizing the badger or making it not possible for him to effect my traps.

[@BigHickory357]

Another ?. Would you ser the spring body/ conibear traps the same way as these in the last few videos??

[@38rosco29]

Great video I think im ginna do flat sets all the time now less hassel

[@jeffbuchanan1005]

Dave, quick question. out of all your survival food sources (hunting, trapping, fishing, etc.), which do you think is the most efficient. In other words, if you were on the verge of starvation, which one would bring you the most food in the shortest amount of time? obviously, trapping takes more time, but just in terms of how much benefit you reap as compared to how much effort you put into it.

[@Mr.Grigzzly]

Great video!

[@EnviromentSurvival]

Thanks for the help!

[@GarlingerBrettJ]

Is that area maintained?? It loos like someone's recently mowed the lawn in the area about 100 yards behind your trap... Just curious

[@roostrand16001]

dave i enjoy your videos even though im not a trapper but i live in western pa so i at least know the weather you enjoy

[@jnsnj1]

All I could think of is the many times that I've been hiking in the woods and found an old bone on the side of the trail. I might not stop and investigate any more for fear of putting my foot, knee or hand in the wrong spot.

[@NESurvivalPrep]

Are you leaving these traps set and catching things? If so, can you do a video on dispatching a catch? I know a lot of people don't like seeing that kind of thing, but it's part of trapping and hunting...

[@outNtheshawnee]

Hey Dave if you catch a coyote in one of these traps will you make of video on how too take care of the animal properly, thanks great videos.

[@Outdoorsman1515]

before all the haters come...the title is misspelled its spelled visual attactant not visual ATTRACTION...just for the heads up

[@pablosquini]

Good video dave! :)

[@BornRandy62]

dude ! you need to come out here and get this big coyote that keeps digging up my field drainage intake. 2 foot dig down and he has running water year round from the big tile. tired of filling in his holes.

[@NWoutdoorProductions]

Dave, my buddy always did bone sets just like that but the population of red tailed hawks has sky rocketed and he had to stop b/c he caught one or two hawks, do you no of any ways to lower the chance of catching hawks please resond

[@kevinboke4476]

strange there were so many roots in the bed...so few bushes and trees around on the top of that ridge

[@coolastro]

Iv'e got a feeling you will get one on that spot Coyotes love open ranges

[@slimlithedwarf]

Is that the jaw of the hog from the advanced skills class?

[@glenleonard5658]

dave wat is the smoke in the back ground

[@Echo4PapaBravo]

What do you do with the remains after you skin the coyote? I assume you are trapping them for their fur. When I was a kid we used to get $5 a head for every coyote we turned into Fish and Wildlife because they are considered nuisance predators. There is still a kill on sight on coyotes here, but since I moved to the suburbs I rarely see them when I'm out on family land. I do see sign, but I'm not out there enough to set traps and be able to check them.

[@dlvmark]

Guy's who cares about the smoke! I am more interested in the smoke from between Dave's ears! Lol lets keep to the subject. It's s@!t like the off topic commits that pisses Dave off. I have seen him pull videos for stuff like that. I for one want to see more a lot more. Dave there are lots of us who want to see this and will keep our focus on the subject at hand.

[@dlvmark]

Jax, He wears a Casio Pathfinder watch.

[@warfaire245]

dave are u gona do a vid of a yote in a trap ? iv herd so much from everyone about being cairfull with human sent and to were gloves and not over do the sent thing do some vids of the yote to give the dum founded ppl some kinda anser if thats not to much to ask

[@Ali.N147]

use these videos to solve your problem dude

[@mkjredemption]

wouldn't it be easier and more affective to just take a dead rabbit or squirrel tie it down and put your trap near it? I would think real bait would be a simple way to get a coyote. Do raccoons, possums, or any other animals in your area that would be able to set off your trap eat a dead rabbit or squirrel? I remember your old trap series the coyotes were eating your snared animals before you were able to get there.

[@DarqueScape]

This series makes me nervous. I cringe every time your fingers go near the triggers. LOL. I would be short a few digits by now.

[@Mitchellbaker-py3iq]

i see smoke in the background

[@RoarTheMighty]

Trapping is torture mate

[@ninjagamer1828]

its ok but dont thry putt rocks a round it
