Otter Trapping 2020 (Crossover with Footholds)

[@myoutdoorlife3833]

Awesome! This is hands down THE BEST trapping channel on KZbin! Thanks for all the great vids and info! 👍

[@travisleppanen3890]

I agree! Just started trapping and caught 4 beaver with the help of this channel! Gonna try for some Martin this winter. Keep up the great content!

[@330Maniac]

Thanks!

[@cardu9728]

There’s nothing better than getting an otter. Trapped a 48incher last year

[@masstrapper7645]

3 in such a short time frame. Fantastic. Nice work. 👍👍

[@sanjuancb]

Amazing otter haul. Those 10 ft rods are cool too but I don't think I want to pack them around!

[@briankin5244]

Where I trap there is very little vehicle access you have to hump everything in and out so I use a wire cable fore drowning with a sack of rocks on the end and I fill the sack right at the spot I’m putting the trap so it cuts off a ton of weight. I’ve seen guys leave brake rotors off a car in the same spot and use those year after year as an anchor instead of the bag of rocks.

[@judithdandavis2206]

great video and tips on otter trapping ,we are trying to catch a few .

[@bluedogsurvive6501]

I had some crossovers I trapped every year for twenty years until the ole back wouldn’t let me get back there anymore, nice slides on those to👍 good job son, keep er goin!

[@330Maniac]

[@JustMike2791]

I'm in Southern Indiana, I can catch 2 a season but as of yet, no luck. Thanks for making the vid and stay safe.

[@330Maniac]

Good luck the rest of your season. Thanks for watching!

[@TheFishleclair]

Nice work, Care to show yer lock on the rods? U have inspired me to purchase 6 MB's and I have the Rebar......Just would like to see the slide lock you use/fab. Thanks in advance

[@timgurtner5248]

I'm a big fan of our new WI Otter permit system, you? Great show!!

[@floydlenz2280]

Great infro and video .. Always enjoy and learn from your trapping episodes..

[@dougfairburn2037]

well done, I think I'm gonna try your method for otters. seems to work quite well. thanks for the share.

[@davidbrown7904]

Just wondering where you got your toboggan? Brand name? Great video...thank you for sharing.

[@330Maniac]

It's a small sled made by otter outdoors

[@davidbrown7904]

@@330Maniac Thanks for the reply. I was actually asking for the brand name of your knit hat - "skully" :).

[@timross7046]

Great video as always. What do you have to do if you have some incidentals after your limit ? Also , what do you do as a profeshin that allows you to trap this much or are you solely a trapper ?

[@jaegarmishler2871]

I love your vids

[@330Maniac]

Thanks bud!

[@richshackelford5793]

Congrats on your otters

[@jasseagraves]

Wish I got into trapping. Looks like a good time.

[@jimf1964]

So if you're only allowed 4, but you accidentally catch more, like today you got one in a beaver set, what happens? You just can't sell the pelt?

[@330Maniac]

No it must be turned in to the local conservation officer

[@markroth9827]

Thank you for your video.

[@JerryTraegerSmoker]

Good luck Deer hunting !!

[@hunterengelhardt3656]

I have a small creek on my property that I have trapped a few beaver out of before but there are quite a few muskrats in there but I’m not sure where to find houses and feed mats for them any recommendations on what to do or what to look for?

[@Northwoods208]

On a small creek you probably aren't looking for muskrat houses, they'll likely be bank dens, they just dig up into the bank, look for murky trails in the water, and paths through the weeds, or places where sand and gravel is displaced, and look for little bits of roots and bulbs and other half eaten vegetation in the water and on the shore. It takes a little practice, and soon enough they'll be sticking out to you like a sore thumb

[@timgurtner5248]

Oh Snap! Commented before I watched the whole vid and realized that you must be in MN?

[@jasonthorson2318]

How do you prep the pelts for registration? I got my first one in a beaver set and not sure what the best way is after skinning. Should I flesh and salt it or just leave it skinned?

[@330Maniac]

Here i just sell them skinned. I do not stretch and dry them

[@vincetugg25]

Amazing views cant beat it

[@carsonhelget5067]

Sweet vid! Insane!! Do you trap coyotes or fox?

[@markkelsey2608]

What tannery do you use?

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Awesome fricken video. 👊💀🍻🇺🇲🍻

[@hvac1238]

Good stuff as always

[@justingethman8266]

Have you ever tried the dogless traps

[@jordancamp2305]

Great video! Just one question.. do otter normally crossover when theres a culvert like that? Why wouldn't they just swim through the culvert. I'm to water trapping, this is my 1st year. Also just wanted to say thanks for the great vids. I followed a few of your sets and got my first 2 beaver on Sunday. 37lb and 42lb!

[@330Maniac]

Congratulations!!!!!

[@330Maniac]

Sometimes they will use the culverts

[@skeets6060]

So how do you keep the ring from slipping off the rod?

[@330Maniac]

There is a welded piece of metal on the bottom of the rod

[@markstuut4024]

Is the drowning lock home made?

[@330Maniac]

Yes I made these ones myself

[@markstuut4024]

@@330Maniac cover the mechanism on one of your shows I watch all I can you educate very well

[@rogerdean2306]

The trout are thankful I'm sure :). Iv been told not sure if it's true but a pair of otter can clear out a spring stock of trout in a matter of weeks .let me know if that is true or not. Thanks

[@toddlarson883]

Awesome

[@mcriser]

The hot rumor this year is the Chinese are buying every river otter.

[@isaacstandridge9924]

Hey man the wandering what otter is used for. Never heard of otter being used for meat or anything else. Interested to know.

[@tinger3575]

Are otter hides worth something

[@330Maniac]

Yes

[@bsoutdoors5895]

Great vid. I did a shout out in my vid I'll be putting out soon on a trick I learned from you. Just hope I didnt butcher your channel name.

I could have used conibears for sure but footholds on rods are fun and won't freeze up as easily

Use that magical Google button and research why people trap 👀

[@r-d_oh_dubb_gg7748]

HEY BUD-- don't be worrying about mixing up your thoughts and words....there's alot of info and knowledge needed to DO AND PRODUCE the RESULTS you ROUTINELY DO.......there ain't one TRUE OUTDOORSMAN THATS GOONA GIVE 2 OTTER SH!TS ABOUT MIXING COUPLE WORDS UP if the solid enginuity and context is there....ONLY JEALOUSY IS GONNA CARE ABOUT THAT.....KEEP BEING YOU because there's not many of your kind and no one these days are making anymore

[@kattitudeORIGINAL]

Otters are not for killing. There is no reason to kill them. Just catch them and move them to a better area.

[@330Maniac]

Unfortunately you're wrong like other people that say this. They decimate small lakes, pond and streams that hold fish

[@thecrittergitter7576]

Have 3 otters just moved in a beaver pond and the owner used the same word as the description "Dessimate" the fish population in the small pond.
