Trapping Tales 2015 Pt Six

A few Days Working on My trapline. the trapline was good to me this week

[@dmo712]

I love this channel. Thank you for combining great camera work, humor and a first hand pragmatic education for trappers. Showing your sets from start to catch is really reassuring that anyone can do it too. This is the way it should be. Keep up the great work!

[@NLGhostWolf]

Great video, my dad just got out of the hospital today, and we sat down and watched about 2 hours of your videos. you make him laugh, so thanks for sharing

[@TheWildNorth]

+NLGhostWolf thats great happy you and your father enjoy my videos

[@RecicledCanadian]

Awesome video Brother. The game is on !!! Thanks for sharing. It is a pleasure to enjoy wild Canadian north again!!!

[@RDM-fc6rd]

A good start to the trapping season. Keep them coming. Ronnie.Texas.

[@CJ_Caster]

Love the videos Andrew! I check every day for new ones. Keep up the good work bud!

[@mynineridesshotgun]

I'm glad the start of the season is continuing to be more productive for you. Excited to continue watching. Thank you for sharing as always...and hello to Charlie.

[@alnbaba]

I don't know how you manage to keep up with all the chores around the cabin and trap by yourself. Your hard work paid off with some nice fur and a great video, liking the camera work big time.

[@TheWildNorth]

+alnbaba yeah i am very busy there is always work to do my day starts at 7 am and ends around midnight usually my day off is the day i come to town to resupply on fuel and groceries ha ha. some night i have no time to cook so i just throw a couple potatoes on the wood stove wen i am working and that is supper

[@2bonosc]

Enjoy watching someone that's so good at something they make it look easy. Good luck on the rest of your season !

[@rodney12310]

Great work on those lynx..nice video..... Our season opened Dec 1st til Jan 1st......one month because the numbers are down!!! Was closed for awhile!!

[@Barbarossa4U]

Perfect way to spend Christmas Eve watching your vids!

[@sargefaria]

[@hiltzy]

[@MrGoosePit]

[@randyboles7928]

[@livingsurvival]

Always enjoy your videos man!

[@idaho2ndgens240]

Way to go man, love your videos, really look forward to them. Happy to see the sled back on the trail, been looking for one myself for my trapline down here in Idaho. No snow to speak of yet down here.

[@kb104]

Lovely video again Andrew, well done. I live in the UK and work as a badger trapper although we vaccinate them against TB and release them, I watch all your videos and always look forward to the day when I get a notice telling me that you have uploaded a new one. Good to see Charlie running around although you haven't called him prick for a while lol. Keep it up mate, you are an inspiration.

[@Big_John_C]

It's great to see you back bro, doing good on those cats no doubt. Take care and good luck this season.

[@Erated78]

Hey Andrew, your timing is perfect man, I'm packed and heading out for my last Grouse hunt of the year tomorrow for a few days and now I'm pumped! I hope I'm as lucky as you are with grouse bud... Cheers.

[@charlesmanning2523]

👍keep piling up the fur bud nice to have you back on the Tube 😃✌️

[@Tossdart]

I love that beaver dam. I think you said mark your word you would get something there. I thought a wolf or wolverine. You will. Here is an old trick dad taught me I have not seen you use it so here it is my charge mention Tossdart said ok. To keep wet snow from freezing your paw traps cover them with the paper peeled from an old wasps nest. It is natural waterproof & easily found in winter as a rule. our cubbies were 1/2 tipi built against largest tree around taller at back & a bit closed in at front lynx don't like to step on but over drag so drag lay across door. I always shot as many snowshoes as possible & dragged them behind to trap then hung one kept fresh as possible at back. Lynx look up inside to do this they put paw on wasp nest. To attract them off trail a bit just like you with little trail then we hung a plastic players tobacco lid on a string by a corner where it can tap every so often onto something.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Tossdart i have never heard of this method maybe i will try it out usually my traps dont freeze in it usually dont start melting in the winter always stays above freezing but who knows eh damn crazy warm weather

[@Tossdart]

TheWildNorth Yes for sure crazy. Snow is melting again here I get worried about moose to east as no snow to eat. Make sure the round side of nest paper is up just like a ducks back.

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Good to see the hard work paying off brother, keep on trucking. Regards Moose from Oz.

[@Tech_Planet]

Nice to see you doing good! Lots of lynx, need to get those wolves too heh

[@hunt4fish]

1;09 Beautiful cat, nice colors and looks big too, lucky mon. Doin all right with the lynx, you're on the way. snow condit looks just right. cheers to ya!

[@holdengr]

love the vids, glad you're doing well. can't wait for the next video.

[@misupercooner]

Cleaned up the lynx! Keep at it man still enjoying ur videos as much as day one on the first season

[@zsiraph]

I just LOVE your videos Andrew! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Hungary!

[@littlecabinoutdoors619]

Double snare pen is the way to go. Can't wait to see you do the flip up snares again. They sure work good.

[@TheWildNorth]

+LittleCabinOutdoors i have 1 flip up snare set right now

[@littlecabinoutdoors619]

+TheWildNorth can't wait to see the results. The weather isn't the best here in BC got rain and snow is melting.

[@owenlonghorn]

Holy shit Andrew that's a good schwack of lynx you got there!! Good luck keep on going man!

[@hamoudialfa450]

Been waiting all week 😂😂😂 thanks alot and keep them coming. good luck

[@slab7649]

learning a lot from your videos man. I appreciate them

[@TrailWright]

Nice haul, stackin em up like cordwood...Thanks for sharing...

[@TaauRine]

Not one negative comment. Love these vids man keep em comin!

[@allanclose9684]

I like the middle of the trail sets, they seem to get a lot of cats.

[@westendtrapper8536]

Wow nice bunch of lynx. Thanks for sharing and good luck

[@waynekirkslope]

Looks like your off to a good start to the season. Keep those cats coming, will add up to a nice pay day.

[@TheSkinking]

Envious as all hell, I haven't seen a lynx track in my area this year. My wolf area has good sign but I am not allowed to take them there. Anyway, by the looks of your catches on the one side of the river, once you cross it should be an awesome year.

[@linklesstennessee2078]

looks like the double snare pen paid off good catch andrew carry on dude

[@keyup2626]

Super things are working out well for you Andrew. Charlie's looking good to.

[@wallaceviviansadventures2095]

you got a great start to lynx season.nice setup you got there.hope you catch a wolf or two

[@henryshotton5666]

Loving your videos from the UK

[@E.lectricityNorth]

It's mild here in the tame south (of Canada), just as it is where you are. It'll snap to cold soon enough, then we'll forget this warmth. Hope you freeze up good there soon, so you can complete the circuit efficiently. You mentioned 30 miles in total on the line. Approximately what total area do you have access to, through which your trap line passes? Your videos are great, thank you for making and sharing them!

[@mebeanonymousonytube]

Andy watching yer process is very fun (I am not a trapper) but love to hunt and seeing the wolf tracks, fuels my desire to do some predator calling.

[@rickyboyz100]

What a happy Charlie!! A good Dad!

[@SwampDonkey530]

Well if you call 11 lynx pissin' around, then I'll be awestruck when you go getting serious. Should invite old Ebun out...he'll bring you a wolverine..!!!

[@TheWildNorth]

+SwampDonkey530 ha ha what i meant about pissing around i guess i meant i gotta get my whole line set up right now i am only have a couple miles of line i am running need more snow and ice the rivers and ponds are really dangerous due to the warm weather

[@davidperrin5373]

those are some really nice cats. great job.

[@grousehunter67]

looking like a good start keep up the good work !

[@trapperstrailsandtales4657]

Wow awesome catches Andrew!!! Keep the videos coming. Migwech

[@TheWildYam]

Whoa, lynx must definitely be in the upswing of their cycle..especially with all the war wounds...territorial fighting probably. How freakin' cool would it been to have a trail cam on the bone pile to see the wolf feeding frenzy!

[@TheWildNorth]

Yeah my trail cam is broken I don't own one anymore or I would do that

[@TheWildYam]

+TheWildNorth That sucks. Sorry to hear about that. Something to add to your Christmas list this year I guess. Maybe Santa could also send you some helpers for skinning. You are one hard working guy. I read your daily routine in the comments below. Thanks for finding the time to make and edit these videos in your spare time!

[@shanesweeney8009]

well played Andrew looks like your off to a good start

[@GCRockymtns]

Thanks for the vid, off to set Lynx sets tomorrow to start the cat season!

[@mrbluenun]

Hi Andrew, Looks like some nice watched. Thanks for the upload. Take care mrbluenun

[@MarcusOlssonVRS]

Hi there, love your channel! How many hectares (or acres if you prefer) is your trapping area? Cheers from Sweden!

[@trappingworld6463]

Andrew.... love the lynx catches. Do you not catch marten at all? How about otter?

[@patrickgermond2750]

Wow, that Bravo sounds like a wash machine. hahaha don't turn it off!

[@Bushway]

The weather is being weird out here too! LOL

[@NSTRAPPERHUNTER]

Dam good catches Andrew.

[@dennismoore6180]

good luck this season man keep the videos comeing

[@madtrapper27doug3]

Lynx master!! Great video

[@bigcampnewyork3586]

30 mile trap line wow!! Hope to see some wolves caught. good video Denny

[@Edenssunlight]

thanks for another great upload seems that I am first lol but definitely not the last!

[@keidall]

we used to hide our foot hold traps with a paper towel and snow on the corners, mostly get rabbits.

[@nicholasb1155]

after you skin then stretch the hide do you treat it to prevent hair from slipping?

[@kentuuri8272]

I enjoy your videos keep up the good work. I am just wondering you spend a lot of time on Lynx sets why do you not set for Martin and mink as well. Wouldn't it be more economical to set for them on the same trails. I talked to one trapper in my area and he is up around 48 Martin right now.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Ken T i set martin boxes and mink traps as well as i stated in the first video of this series i mentioned i wont piss around with mink martin beaver or anything else till i have a few hundred lynx snares out and all my legholds and 330s for wolverine i trap because i enjoy it not to make a profit from it. i easily make enough profit too keep everything up and running do you know how hard i have to work to keep up with the lynx skinning and snare setting aside from all my cabin chores wood water cooking e.t.c my day starts at 7 am and usually finishes around midnight i usually dont have a whole lot of time on my hands oh and lets not forget about making and editing these videos that is also very time consumeing. so in the future you will see mink and martin sets but til then im a lynx trapper!

[@MrOmcif]

Good start to your season stay safe.

[@twilson21]

Keep up the Videos Andrew I look forward to them every week. Are you going to go after the wolves much this year?

[@MrCrappule]

congratz ur the master of lynx

[@kevinhookimaw8674]

How high do you tie off your snares and what do you use to tie them down? Cheers

[@2506INF]

Andrew, what kind of wood do you make your stretchers out of?

[@CliffManis]

Andrew, thanks for all you show.. I love to watch.. Please tell us where you are actually located.. City close to post it or talk about it sometime and thanks.. Best to you....

[@TheWildNorth]

Hay River, Northwest Territories, Canada

[@eqlzr2]

I know you're busy, Andrew, but how about a few more cooking vids? What's for breakfast, what's for dinner? Many thanks.

[@haroldcounts6590]

Andrew, i thought i heard you say you were a Mitis, and is so cool i am Mitchif from Turtle Mountains Us.

[@RatSleds]

Right on bud good sets!

[@jeanlaniel1342]

I have heard that lynx meat is edible. Have you eaten any? is there anything you can't eat? Thanks for the great vids!

[@workingclasswoodsman]

Another good day by the looks!!

[@wincharter1]

Andrew, it seems like a couple of months since you posted last be of course thats wrong, just miss you and ole Charlie dog. Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a New Year full of fur, Capt'n, East Texas

[@rbobby357]

Thanks for posting videos I know its hard work but I sure love to get the email that you posted a new one thanks again theyre great stuff

[@dalepearson1199]

nice catches buddy nice to c That mun.

[@nowone21]

Another nice video, thanks. I have a question re. gloves. I almost freeze my fingers every morning watering , and cleaning up after my chickens, open and closing latch hooks, etc. I haven't found an appropriate pair of gloves that gives my fingers great move-ability. I see you are wearing plain wool gloves - just one pair? Grateful for suggestion/s. Happy trapping.

[@TheWildNorth]

I wear the wool gloves to keep the scent off my snare sets I wear them in my mitts

[@nowone21]

+TheWildNorth - Thanks, makes sense.

[@Lllolililopo]

about how much is a mink worth and average how much do you make a day? (if you don't mind answering) I really want to start a trap line and I'm probably going to move north in a couple years. ive already gotten my hunting license (core) and my firearms license. Good luck up in the wild north!!

[@billydavis9823]

Beautiful country ,how long do you stay?

[@jamesgsmith5379]

Those Lynx don't stand a chance.Yes Andrew - mild all over.Good start though.

[@tyrander1652]

Do you ever run out of bait? I was watching Trapping Inc Episode 12 and the face rubbing set looked like it might be right up your alley. You could even grow the catnip in your little garden.

[@ontariobushcraft536]

Been waiting for this lol

[@silver-volf]

Обалдеть! Молодец, можно только мечтать!

[@aonewatchman]

Your making us proud!

[@richardfisher9252]

How much do you get off of the fur?? I trapped when I was in high school

[@ann-raelagrelle8312]

Do you live full time on your trap line

[@robcahill4413]

Hey Andrew why don't u set some mink sets out there since there are so many mink around at the set where u caught the second Lynx great vid man been watching u for years and can't wait to see more

[@TheWildNorth]

+SUPERCRACKER OUTDOORS ill set mink sets after i got all my legholds and snares set target lynx and wolverine first once set up for that ill piss around with beaver mink martin e.t.c the mink arent going anywere they will always hang around the trapline i do have 1 mink set out right now i might set a few more this week we will see. mink dont sell for very much not even worth killing the poor critters and they really stink one mink will stink my skinning shack up for a month

[@beaverrick9789]

Nice cats, If you get a Fisher give us a close up of it. We have them here (Seen it at a distance), but I've never seen one up close. That would be cool. Are you going to start trapping wolves again? I know before you said that you don't like doing wolves but that would be a good catch.

[@TheWildNorth]

+BeaverRick ill set a few wolf snares this winter yes

[@beaverrick9789]

Good luck buddy, Take us along for a peek.

[@swanyut]

is there a reason that you dont seem to take charlie out on the trails like last year ?

[@hogg5798]

Question Andrew if u can reply back that would b great I was wandering where do u sell ur hides like to which fur auction or if u do that?

[@TheWildNorth]

My fur gets shipped to Fur Harvestors auction in North Bay Ont

[@punches-in-bunchesboxeo1918]

is there a limit on how many you can trap during the season? (links) minus 1 degree is warm huh?! haha..man, you would not Arizona weather. Good job! I always enjoy your videos.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Randy623 -Xico i have no quota on any fur bearing animals

[@jacolumbia2034]

between part 6 and part 7 you got a wolf?.....no video of the wolf?...thanks....full traps brother !!!....love your vids.....

[@bonechuggz]

What do you do with the meat? Do you eat lynx or is it food for your pup? :)

[@TheWildNorth]

+Slabs OnDeck dog food and mostly bait i do eat lynx once in a while ill make a video of cooking lynx meat at some point this winter

[@bonechuggz]

Right on. Looking foward to more videos. Cheers from vancouver bc :)

[@SaskHunting]

Great videos! Any chance of doing a lynx skinning video?

[@TheWildNorth]

+Sask Hunting i think i got a three part video of skinning a lynx

[@3DFOXCALLSUK]

awesome, love the videos. shows how much hard work you put into your job to earn a living. keep up the good work and may luck be with you. but have you ever been out and been in a sticky situation where a lynx or wolf has come at you?

[@TheWildNorth]

+RICHARDSON KNIVES (Luke) nope not yet i had a wolverine jump and snap at me he was in a leghold trap they are pretty vicous

[@3DFOXCALLSUK]

Keep safe buddy

[@ImASurvivorNThriver]

Nice going!
