I trap in northwest Missouri and we have to use cable restraints. I use the ADC relaxing locks and ice doesn't stop them. When they hit them ,the ice just flews off. I trap in some pretty ruff weather. With frost over a feet or more , temperatures down to -10 degrees and 35 to 40 miles an hour. And i never have a problem with cables not firing.

SUCCESS😀I finally got one of two pesky little ground hogs that have been devastating my vegetable garden. It took some adjustments because I hadn't followed your instructions properly ie.,tear drop instead of circular loop, no weathering of the cable, height of loop off the ground,and way too large a circumference. I've seen your videos so many times that I could see my mistakes and therefore figure out the corrections.The plan is to feed it some corn, water it, and do the rest so it can be fricased properly😋Thanks again for all you do.

Add a hair trap that's a little piece of wire sticking down from your slip ring with a little crook in the end of that wire. It's meant to catch the hair of your targeted species, and will increase your success rates sometimes by 200%. Best of luck, and remember to be as ethical and kind to the animals who are giving their lives for your food/comfort. Thanks.

Michael Seger That's hard to say, animals can definitely tell that a snare is present and will sometimes refuse to enter. Whether or not it's because of the cable or because of the color of the support I cannot know. I do know that my catch rate us high enough that I do not consider it a problem that needs solving. Good question and thanks for watching.

I noticed that the lock is behind the loop,- shouldn't it be at the top - so that it will fall down on the animal ? ( loaded) I would think the animal will feel the pressure from the wire ? or does it only to be loaded on smaller animals ?
@Meattrapper7 жыл бұрын
tinkergene I can tell you are watching! I load my snares so they will fire hard when pressure is applied by the animal. If I placed the lock at the top the snare would fire from the wind blowing or a casual side touch. As you can see everything depends. A non loaded snare in a non windy location could be set at the top position. hope this makes sense. If not you can email me at meattrapper@gmail.com for a better explanation.

I have a question concerning Trapping wire. I just bought a spool and it comes wrapped in what looks like oily paper. Do I need to clean or degrease it before I use it? Does it matter if it rust? Our trapping season opens at the end of the month and can't wait to try the snares I've made. I really enjoyed this series. It should enable me to cover a lot more ground a lot cheaper than steel traps. Thanks!
@Meattrapper9 жыл бұрын
+Jeffrich308 Great question. Some folks just use the wire as is, but I don't like the smell of the grease or it getting all over me. What I usually do is toss the roll of wire in the boiling pot when I'm boiling traps clean. This will remove the grease. You can also take it to the car wash and pressure wash the grease off - or just toss it into the grass and let it sit for 2 weeks until it starts to rust. I like my wire to be mostly free of grease and to have a light coat of rust on it. If you are dipping traps toss the roll into the dip. In short, I try to get the grease off - but I'm not paranoid about it. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have questions and good luck!

Greetings once again. I was wondering the same thing as Mr. Gillenwater. Also, do you ever need to paint the white support rod?
@Meattrapper9 жыл бұрын
+James Reynolds I've had several people mention that. I have painted them a light brown this season to see if it makes a difference. I've always had good luck with them as is. Another worry is that after a catch the rods are usually scattered about - so a green or brown color will make them a lot harder to find. But we'll see. One thing I have started doing is pushing the rod all the way under water and just have the support wire sticking up. Good comment! Thanks for watching!

I have the same fiberglass rod inside the top of my 35 foot whippy fiberglass tubing ham radio antenna, stiffening it up. I have mentioned to others about a bamboo dowel rod (bendable, springy, and tension resistant tough) fire bow and drill set. This might provide you some springiness (with the various dimensions sold below), for spring traps. www.mastergardenproducts.com/bamboodowel.htm Rot resistant, bamboo is hard (Janka wood hardness) only surpassed by hickory/pecan. You mention the wood stake and moisture expansion securing the stake into the ground This can be the same for bamboo dowels. Can also have wood notches for wrapping snare wire around the shaft vs smooth fiberglass dowel shaft. Potentially lighter carrry weight as well. Just a thought.

i can't say for each state about law. so that isn't what this is about. with that said, do you think it ethical to snare deer. whether you do or not, how would you go about doing it. specifically in a emergency life and death status. big game snaring.
@Meattrapper9 жыл бұрын
dale myers Personally I do believe it is ethical to snare a deer. Here in Alabama the DNR will issue depredation permits to farmers who are suffering crop losses and deer can be killed at any time by almost any method. Of course in a survival situation anything goes. I am thinking about doing a series on "poaching" or survival trapping (including snaring deer). What do you think? Do you think people would realize it's for educational purposes or do you think they would be outraged at me? I value your opinion and appreciate your thoughts.
@dalemyers92659 жыл бұрын
blatantly post, this is a simulation for emergency use or under certain circumstances on private property. as for the reaction of viewers. i don't scroll thru you comments. so i don't know about trolls jumping up and down about trapping videos. but in a perfect world they wouldn't exist. lol... i can only think of some of the content that could be in it. like cable sizing for big game, heights, loop sizing, hiding the cable if necessary, loop sizing for taking a big rack buck; having a trail cam would offer info on how big a loop it would take. if the loop is to small you would end up with a misfire or having a hangup in the bucks rack. i've thought about setting up a trigger to spook the deer once they began eating a bait. then figure a funnel director guiding the deer into the snare like a coral and shoot at a stock yard. maybe i'm taking this to far. but i was thinking of contingencies. like that of a special forces tactics in directing the reactions of the deer. to gain an advantage. because i see the deer stepping over a vine to gain access to a bait. the trigger being a deer sucker or something comparable tied to a spring/tree and a stump. when the sucker breaks the tree whips upward and startles the deer. so when the trigger is set off. natural fight or flight kicks in and what's in the way would be forgotten and not step over the bottom of the loop. taring thru and snaring the deer's neck. this is probably me over thinking things again.

dale myers Excellent thoughts and I appreciate them. I ban users daily on this channel. It's amazing how the anti's threaten to kill me and my family, hope that I burn in hell , etc. I never try to argue with them - I just delete the comments and ban them. Interesting idea about provoking a reaction in the animal to guide them into a specific direction. I've never considered that. I'm also thinking about a "trapping as booby traps" series in a grid down/guerrilla warfare situation. I have to walk a fine line given the nature of our country these days. I may have to make the series available for download on my website for a small fee and just post trailers and previews on KZbin, as it's pretty easy to get your channel deleted for politically incorrect subjects.
