Muskrat Trapping Bank dens, Baited Sets and Huts

[@Saskatchewantrapper]

Today, i set my first baited sets at my lake. Thanks for the video. It taught me a lot.

[@jakecoleson5263]

I know you have a lot of subscribers and a lot of people telling you thank you for the quality content but I’ll just be one more of those here! This is my first year ever trapping and thanks to you I have been slaying the beaver! I don’t know anyone else around here that traps so Your tips, tricks and honesty have been so tremendously helpful. I’m an EMT/firefighter In Wisconsin and with all this craziness going on in the world trapping has been my stress reliever. Walking out to my sets and having a big ol’ beaver floating is a pretty great. Thank you for these videos! Seriously it’s been so helpful and I appreciate what you do.

[@bertram_oredrock]

Excellent video. It's interesting to see the different methods and procedures. You're definitely a well practiced trapper.

[@alj4940]

[@everything_outdoors_nwo8896]

Nice work, I sure wish we had feeder huts in my neck of the woods, Always bank dens. And with the video I think ill try and find the runs under ice for sure!

[@robanderson2296]

Even a while brotha! I'm just getting out from working and trapped today for some Mink , rats! Fantastic upload !I still have to finish that monster beaver's of KZbin that I started last year😂

[@danwalters5220]

How do you know where to open the house?

[@TheHuntForDinner]

If muskrat isn’t prepared right it’s absolutely terrible lol. My advice is to clean it good and soak it in salt water overnight then cook it up. I cooked one in a stew and it was really good and nothing like I remembered it from a wild game dinner that I had once. I’m gonna give those baited sets a try too!

[@jordancamp2305]

Wish I could sets huts like that. In my state we cant put holes in or disturb huts. So i just set 110s on the entrance runs goin into em.

[@330Maniac]

We are lucky here

[@logicalguy488]

Well done. But what do you do with the rats ?

[@330Maniac]

I sell them. Thanks!

[@stevedingman474]

Love muskrat trapping it’s where I started ! Gun season is coming up you never contacted me to come down and go with us 25 years us guys have hunted together... but our deer numbers are way down so much so we’re not allowing any does to be harvested we do have some nice 180+ class bucks running around but next year ?

[@lenledwidge5367]

Years ago after setting for beaver at the end of my line were a dozen or so rat push ups. I set and the next day I pulled a few and one rat was half eaten, what the hell, I got a mink . I reset and used what he left for bate. The next day I headed to rat town . As I made my way something caught my eye at the push up . I sat about 50 ft. away and watched. Then, there it was. A big mink and was he pissed. He chewed through the side of a 3 ft. push up. He tore that house apart. I go over with my stick and smacked him on the nose and its all over with. His teeth were ground down to nubs, not teeth left. My old 4x4 had a canvas and while talking to a farmer friend , that mink came alive and was bouncing off the walls and stopped in the seat beside me. Got my stick and it was all over for good this time. ths

[@Smorgellep]

I’m new to trapping brother, and I thing I’ve watched this about 6 times now the 7th Hopefully one day I can connect with ya and talk and learn some stuff. Keep on , keeping on brother , love the vids .

[@dsami3039]

what happened with the spring set

[@maxinewehling1439]

Good work!

[@BigBeavrSlayer]

Are you allowed colony traps there? That's all we get to use here in washington runs like that would be some full traps! My jumbo colonys (12x8x24) I have had quadruple catches in runs like that overnight

[@330Maniac]

Yes we are. I just enjoy trapping them this way. It takes longer but I'm not doing it for numbers

[@BigBeavrSlayer]

@@330Maniac wish I could do it that way haha all we get is cages here and that's it for wco work we can pull permits from the state for conibear, padded jaw footholds, or foot snares

[@rangepro]

nice!>>>>keepem coming

[@keithnavarro2930]

Are rat numbers down by you? There seems to be fewer here in southern Minnesota.

I’ve never understood what are you feeling on. The muskrat run

[@muskybites505]

I had a leopard frog crawl out of a hole ice fishing very early. Weirded me out to, not doing what they should be.

[@jttraina4516]

Noticed the Fox tracks when you were making the muskrat set; Do you ever set for Fox ?

[@0ly001]

Ever use colony traps

[@330Maniac]

Yes, but I find them boring.

[@patrickconnelly3841]

What is the name of his theme song?

[@tazblink]

Are there different types of muskrats? I live on the Eastern side of Washington state and the muskrats we have here are at least 1 1/2 the size of the muskrats I see trapped on youtube. I would say they are closer to 2 times the size I see here. Wife and I were kayaking last fall and we saw 4 or 5 that were 12" to 14" body length plus tails. I lived here all my life and have seen them that long for decades. Kayaking in about 18" of super clear water a large muskrat ran under my Wife's boat and scared the shit out of her.Haha. Anyway good video thanks for sharing.

[@aardhond]

Do you have any idea how strong your traps are ?

[@330Maniac]

I've caught a hand in then a few times lol

[@josh4207987]

Id really like to see some coyote sets. They overrun my hunting area and id love to see how its done properly.

[@josh4207987]

You guys got some trust issues. Whats this got to do with trapping yotes? lol

[@lukiss01]

Use a shovel to dig out hut

[@330Maniac]

I've tried them all. I prefer an axe

[@zachorvik8361]

You don't worry about losing those conibears the water?

[@330Maniac]

No. Theres no way a muskrat or mink could get away with one

[@gussuperman7565]

M8 that was a good run. So you what you catch , or use it for bait ? Keep up the good work. God bless y'all.

[@jamesswick7534]

Do you ever stick your hand in there and get bitten?

Sir I watched quite a few of your videos you’re an excellent trapper one of the top 10 that I watch but I would like to ask you a favor when you look into the camera and go all right boys. you’re alienating women and a lot of other people so please please try to refrain from saying boys. Use folks that way it includes everyone thank you I will continue to watch you so keep up the good work you’re doing an amazing job. Appreciate you. 🤠

[@330Maniac]

Guys is just a general reference to people. That would include women as well

[@roosterslounge1697]

Not anymore when you say guys because when I watch this video I watched it with my older daughters and they kept saying to me dad why do they keep saying guys we’re not guys it might have been a general description commonly used in the past with the nowadays the way things are it’s offensive

[@roosterslounge1697]

And my daughters are 25 and 23 years of age

They got so mad and got up and called you the “ R” word and said too me stop watching this Channel. And I defended you I told them that people say that as a reference just like the word folks and y’all and they told me they’re fine with those words but when you say hey guys you’re calling them a guy and they got pissed.
