Tales of a Trapline Ep.4 - Lynx & Coyote Success

In this fourth installment of my 2022/2023 trapping season I begin to have some luck harvesting fur.
Thank you to everyone who watches!

[@patkennedy7781]

Great start. Keep them coming

[@MidwesternTrapper]

New subscriber here! Loving the videos thanks for bringing us along!

[@ruckbeat]

Great video again, continued luck on the line!

[@jessicaleighdargaclark4536]

I'd love a more in depth look at how the snares work / traps work. Where you get them (or if you make them, how do you make them?), how you prep them, set them, take them down, store them, etc. or if you know of other channels that have that already I'm happy to check them out also! Love everything that you're putting out there so far!

[@andrewearl9617]

I do enjoy each episode

[@TwoRiders]

Good ethical catches with quick kills. Glad you guys broke the dry spell, seems like the cold temps got things moving. We were in the 60's F last week and I'd like some colder weather for the month. Keep the videos coming. Hope you get to mix up the menu some with a partridge or something. Cheers.

[@KuskWild]

Yeah it sure is a relief to start getting some fur. I'll be trapping rabbits soon so the menu should broaden a bit. Thanks for watching!

[@royroscoe5031]

Wonderful videos! I have enjoyed everyone. Thank you for taking us along.

[@jakeporter8476]

It's a treat when you post! Thank you for the content.

[@larrymay8449]

Congratulations on the Lynx catches! I'm glad to see the wolverines left them alone. Nice to see your videos again.

[@waltdenis9621]

Always a pleasure! Great content!!

[@scottykroeker7412]

Like always, great content MR. Kusk. Keep up the good work!

[@Tam0de]

First trapper I've seen on KZbin purposely going for squirrels. Ever. And I've seen a ton of trapping videos through the years. Cool.

[@Timberbeartrail]

I think people should make a bigger deal out of squirrels because they are a missed opportunity for sure I can feed a family indefinitely

[@bobstewart4342]

good to see you.

[@stephenbourgeois3934]

Nice catches!!! Wish I had Lynx where I lived.

[@OLDGRIZZ]

I absolutely love your channel, wish you could put out more content. Thankyou.

[@KuskWild]

More content coming soon! Thanks for watching.

[@BroadHeadedAK]

Love the video, very well rounded with showing some technique and the cooking the meat was awesome. Great work!

[@haroldhatcher1239]

Thank You for another great video. Keep em coming.

[@bustabigbass6627]

Enjoyed this video very much....put in a lot of hard work! Definitely appreciate the respect you have with the animals when trapping.

[@kingrafa3938]

A successful trapping harvest this time Ryley. Happy New Year!

[@clarkcorkery4156]

Finally. Been Patiently waiting

[@holgerawakens7784]

Holy smokes it's Lynx-o-Mania! Wow, what great catches on the lynx and a nice dawg to boot! I noted last year that I hardly saw a single lynx caught last year so this is a thrill. Great job, great video.

[@KuskWild]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidingram353]

Well done Ryley, lots of fur.

[@brianmelton5723]

Lots of nice catches. Great job.

[@alpetterson9452]

No catches for ages and then lynx after lynx. Goos to see. Hope you had a great Christmas and have a fantastic new year. Happy hunting!

[@michaelleeadkins9611]

Great vid. Really enjoyed it. Happy New Year to you and yours, and continued success for the rest of the trapping season. :)

[@KuskWild]

Thank you!

[@rodneysmith2442]

Great video as always!

[@yanlap2183]

Nice cabin. I wish you a good 2023.

[@jackvoss5841]

Some of the guys I camp with say that I can snore loudly. I tell them, “No, I don’t snore. It’s a. Canadian lynx that’s a ventriloquist. It follows me.” I hope it wasn’t one that you caught? 😉 Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

[@notsosilentmajority1]

Well done. I haven't enjoyed a video like this in quite a while. Congratulations and Happy New Year.

[@KuskWild]

Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!

[@religionsrejects]

Congratulations!

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

Really enjoy your show Brother. Nice to see you catching some cats. Happy New Year!

[@KuskWild]

Happy new year to you too!

[@WestForkWoodsman]

Real life on the Canadian trap line. The only low point is where you forget to bring the bacon! But that squirrel did look mighty fine. Congrats on a successful season. Happy New Year.

[@KuskWild]

Thank you for watching! Happy new year to you too.

[@davidvargas5277]

Awesome.

[@SurvivalFarNorth]

Great videos.

[@hunter50756]

Happy New Year. It's nice to see success with a bunch of lynx.

[@KuskWild]

Thank you! Happy new year to you too.

[@orlannerab451]

COOL

[@olegredkous5546]

👍

[@sdsi68]

Great haul in this video 😃, hopefully you get more in the next video 😁, and Happy New Years Riley 🤙🤙🤙

[@KuskWild]

Thanks you! Happy new year!!

[@alexkasacous]

Looks like your off to a good season. Squirrel hat should be a good project for the other channel.

[@ronland1821]

What’s the name of the other channel? Thank you

[@alexkasacous]

@@ronland1821 Kusk Bushcraft.

[@ronland1821]

Thank you

[@Haynesvilleguide]

Nice catch!

[@KuskWild]

Thanks!

[@TomSutts1969]

Congratulations on the nice catches!!! Just need a pipe and a whiskey too celebrate!!! Cheers! 🥃🥃🇨🇦

[@KuskWild]

Haha yes I'll have to include a little celebration soon. Thanks for watching!

[@MyName-kt9zx]

Hey man, you should make a video on trapping. How you make your snares, if you make your own and how you use your hand to measure the correct snare placement.

[@KuskWild]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to include that in future episodes.

[@brandonking2826]

Your welcome for the idea using a CD to attract the lynx. Told you it would work.

[@jackcorman2152]

What is your most sought after pelts on the trap line? Thank for sharing!

[@KuskWild]

Wolves, lynx, coyotes, and marten.

[@douglaskampfer2028]

Always remember the chin stick.

[@gregsmith3410]

I remember the good old days..when fox would bring $45 ...coon $25 and humble muskrats netting almost $10 ..... update me on fur prices today ??

[@frankbeans2901]

That money is crap money.

[@timriley2131]

Hi great videos. Are these animals considered pests in Canada?

[@williamcuellar7621]

Another wonderful adventure video in The Great outdoors, happy hunting! Cozy looking hat by the way, if you don't mind me asking what brand is that one? maybe I'll pick one up :-)

[@KuskWild]

I believe the brand is Gisdanchz. I bought it off Amazon a few years back. Works great for keeping the sun out of my eyes while riding a quad or skidoo. It's also very warm. Thanks for watching!

[@williamcuellar7621]

Cool sounds good I'll definitely have to check it out and see if I can find one. Thank you again for all the great videos I always look forward to the next one.. Have a Happy New Year :-)

[@tonystarkks]

Hey bro you are available on this channel 😃😃❤️❤️❤️

[@kazzicup]

Do you use the lynx for both food and fur? Do you eat the lynx meat?

[@Beavertrapper]

Would like to start trapping red squirrels in northern mn what type of wire are you making your snares out of

[@chuckjones8565]

Do you ever harvest any Snow Shoe Hares?

[@KuskWild]

Yes. I will be showing my rabbit snaring soon. Thanks for tuning in.

[@marygracepruet6803]

What will you do with all these pelts, I’m curious?

[@PopPopJoe]

What size wire did you snare squirrels with? I couldn't even see wire or was it thin cable ??

[@KuskWild]

It's a thin wire. 26 gauge stainless wire. Thanks for watching!

[@PopPopJoe]

@@KuskWild I'm guessing your twissing a loop in the end to made the lock, is that correct ?

[@garydavey5775]

Are squirrels the only edible animals that you trap? If bait is frozen how can it attract prey?

[@KuskWild]

I trap rabbits too. You'll be seeing that on the channel soon. Even though the bait is frozen it still has smell to it. Plus once the crows and ravens find it the coyotes are drawn in from their calls. Thanks for watching!

[@dracula7328]

What do you do with the meat of these animals. What if you feed it to your dog?🧐

[@Timberbeartrail]

Curious, where are you located? Like where do you call home? I am from Northern Maine.

[@zingerdoutdoors2311]

How much do squirrels bring?

[@KuskWild]

I think these days they average around $2. High end might be around $5. There's not much money in fur these days, sadly. We don't trap for the money though, we trap to play our role in the conservation of the resource. Thanks for watching!

[@kencaudle7802]

Try preseting your traps wire around dog and jaw. Saves time safer can carry better flatter. Snip wire and set. Get your hand caught in 1 cold fingers can ruin a season

[@terrieyeakley82]

Do you sell the fur from those animals . They don't put up a fight because it's too cold to put one up. They lay down to think about it and fall asleep and just don't wake up. Bad for them but good for you. It's nice to see you and your dad at the cabin together. How many beavers do you usually trap in one season.Thanksvfor sharing your video. I wish you a great year. Stay safe .

[@KuskWild]

We send most of the fur to a fur auction. We usually keep a few pelts for personal use. In regards to beaver trapping it really depends. Some years we trap problem beavers for land owners. On average I'd say we trap maybe 6-12 beaver per year. I appreciate you tuning in. Take care!

[@scottschlemmer4787]

One womans wilderness was using this tool to remove roof snow: 2:38 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqLJd3WQg82oZqM Looks more efficient and safer.

[@bikeomatic8005]

I get it from the skill point of view and if living so remotely you need to rely on the nature but it feels bit unnecessary to be honest. Lynx is such a graceful animal and pity to see it killed in such number. But different country, different customs and values.

[@nonbinarytrans]

why kill them?

[@richardherscher8487]

Horrible!

[@efgeebe]

It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. Man has to play a part in keeping nature in balance.

[@frankbeans2901]

​@@efgeebe yeah look how good the world is going
