This place is infested with beaver “17 and counting”

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Been a long road brother, you definitely deserve that 100k. An I damn sure see you hitting that goal an some. A damn beaver city over there man damn.👊💀🍻🇺🇲🍻🏴‍☠️🍻

[@danielmastin3606]

J when I started trapping I was 12, I trapped mostly muskrats and I never wore gloves. My mother would tell me that I was going to get Arthritis because of my hands being in the cold water, I'm now 62 and I don't have arthritis, but my hands get really cold easy. LOL. Great haul 👍. Can't wait for the next check video

[@ronniesmithjr7298]

Wow the upper pond is really infested with beavers and muskrats good call on moving in thats awesome brother and the lower one still has a few moving from upper pond thanks for sharing brother til next time stay safe and warm

[@jimmyraythomason1]

The worst infestation of beaver I got into, I took 52 beaver from that one property about 5 years ago. I have consistantly caught double figures there every season since. Got 11 there this season so far..

[@j.j.clingman4083]

I can tell you that in all of my trapping years and well over a 1000 beavers I have never had a beaver chew one of my cables off!!! I think it’s because they don’t like the metal taste and that they are used to the wood taste much more!!! If you get a beaver to chew off a cable that would definitely be a first!!! Now that I think of it I have never had one cable chewed off by anything in all of my trapping carrier!!! I actually love using snares because they are so much easier to set and much lighter carrying around 2 dozen snares to even 6 traps!!! I’m a smaller guy so it’s definitely hard to carrying a bunch of stuff out in the wilderness!!!! Lol!! Awesome video and awesome day on the line for sure!!! I also was wondering when you was going to started securing your traps!!! That is definitely something I I will always do. Just so that I no I won’t have an animal walking around with some of my jewelry on and just wondering what might have happened to my traps or snares!!! Just saying!!! It definitely helps me sleep better at night!!! Well remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!!

[@earlshaner4441]

Good evening from Syracuse NY my friend thank you for sharing your adventures

[@Hookah268]

With it being so cold, is the meat still good and do you bother cleaning and eating some? I know a small lake system here in Georgia where there are easily 50 or more beaver living there.

[@jimmyraythomason1]

One of the most useful tools I have for beaver trapping is a long hoe handle with a J hook screwed into the end of it. It is invaluable for locating traps and cables without endangering yourself. It also serves as a walking stick and depth probe. I don't check traps without it.

[@twodogsyyc6729]

Dam that's a nice stick!!! Lol. Unreal pile of flat tails in those ponds for sure J. Can't wait for the next one, take care man

[@duckbrian7973]

Really glad you put those snares out. Guess I missed the last time beaver got snared. Really interesting imo.

[@StinkyPete69]

I'm surprised you haven't got a beaver coming at you on camera kicking around their dens. I had a big bastard come at me when I was wading to my blind. He caught himself some bird shot that day.

[@mrbakerskatz]

[@gregreynolds9591]

It's been 40 yrs since I've trapped you make me want to start again

[@jimmyraythomason1]

I cable ALL of my conibear traps. It makes them easy to retrieve and keeps hip caught otter from dragging the trap off. I have also had coyote and dogs drag off trapped beaver. I haven't lost a trap since I started cableing them.

[@Northwoods208]

With a long cable I've never had one find where they were hung up at, they run to the end of the cable, then throw their tantrum. I have had them chew small trees off with short cables. You're about the perfect height off the ground for beaver/otter, 1"-2" works pretty good

[@marktheo1563]

Good beaver clean out videos. It's quite the honey hole that needed it. Sure wish I could come out & help.

[@bryanjelinski8036]

maybe use your fiberglass poles to mark the muskrat traps instead of going out and buying the electric fence posts....just a thought. I know you have so much stuff that you forget what you have....

[@TrapperJOutdoors]

8 foot markers 👀

[@Northwoods208]

I just wire my body grips to a big waterlogged stick sometimes, basically acts like a drag, I've never had a beaver or otter take one more than 15-20 feet, and that's with nothing to tangle on

[@steves.7872]

Nice job, J. What state are you trapping these beavers in Missouri.

[@billyvaughn3500]

Hey trapper j how's the property doing that you was trying to get badgers?

[@jessapower]

Fiberglass fencing poles are great

[@christopherbrinks4054]

Great video. What coilspring trap are you using?

[@TooSketchyForYou]

That Beaver place is absolutely insane, it makes you think they've been building their colony in all those ponds for YEARS without ever being taken out. I wouldn't be surprised if you end up being at that place all year long. Would be cool to eventually destroy the dam and see the bottom of some of those when they're drained

[@knownunknowner]

Love these videos. Only one I love more is Johnny Thorpe.

[@brentrowan2794]

You definitely need to duct tape your wire roll, it will change your life! Well maybe not but it’s extremely handy. Love the videos

[@TalksWithRyan]

You should use them wire coon stretchers for beaver 330 stands/ stabilizers for them deeper water sets compared to buying tall 330 H-Stands

[@robert.89]

If you get a beaver on that cable restraint I will personally go door to door like jehovah witness to get you that 100k sub count! 🤣🤣 Love watching you put in work and reaping the benefits, stay safe and keep up the good work man!

[@TrapperJOutdoors]

You don’t think it will work lol I’ll probably have a beaver in every 330 on upper pond

[@dylanhansen5235]

Yep just get all the beaver out first and then get all the muskrats

[@gunner4544]

I still like the have a nice swim from before lol

[@buckydoedowner9040]

17 off one property is insane to me.. wonder if the remaining have noticed the whole family tree is vanishing. lol..GET"EM J!!!

[@markynajasa5925]

If you wrap the tie wire with duct tape completely (but cut the wrap ties before you cover them) then cut a quarter size hole in the top. You can run the wire in the center right out of the hole. It will be easier to pull wire. Thought this info will help.

[@seancooley7343]

Stupid question. Can you stack 2 traps on top of one another in the deeper runs? If so would it be worth it?

[@stephenzimmerman193]

I believe so, if i recall correctly he's done that in other videos already. Don't remember if that was in this current war on beavers or not

[@DontTreadonMe1775]

After their skinned what do people do with the tails?

[@MarkTheDrunkenSailor]

my first beaver cut my cable and i was heart broken, need thicker cable

[@donaldnorth3714]

J….I’m sure you’ve mentioned it before, but what do you do with the animal carcasses after you’ve skinned them? I know you make some of your products with some of them but do you try to eat any or find someone who will? Thanks for a great channel from an old muskrat trapper!

[@sethwolpert1391]

Crazy to think your approaching 100k lol shits crazy

[@mikefahlenkamp9084]

That many beavers in such a small area, usually means there is a lot of fighting, and scarred up old beavers. Could I be wrong?

[@section8outdoors]

It's like a fat kid finding cakes all over in the woods!! Something a guy dreams of but rarely ever sees!

[@TheStonedstone]

Beavers in my pond avoid all snares. I have set 14 snares for months, and NO beaver

[@buckydoedowner9040]

J did you leave your new snares on the ground? i seen you toss them down and i didnt see them on the quad when you left. lol

[@TrapperJOutdoors]

No I had em coiled up in there lol I definitely wanted to leave em though

[@jamesperkins5075]

Do you eat any of the beaver meat from the fur you harvest.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

I still think you need a beaver-sized colony trap. Maybe 2 feet square and 4 feet long?

[@TrapperJOutdoors]

Would if it was legal

[@WolfMan4269]

I trapped wildlife for several years for an extermination company. I wish I could have seen you videos back then. I've learned so much from you that I use for personal trapping that I could've made a fortune from then!!!

Any pro tips on how to NOT get skunk stink on ya after a dispatch? Asking for a friend....

[@canislatrans8285]

What's with these states that end muskrat but still have beaver going? I have always caught muskrats trapping beaver. The only places around here anymore for rats are beaver ponds and dens. I've caught mink in 330's too lol. And if raccoon runs to a later date than rats, gee what checks out pocket sets? Not just raccoons. Muskrats like fish and muskrat meat too ( cannibals). Stupidest DNR's/game commissions, what have you! PA the mink and rat ends early jan, or used to, beaver goes to march 31. How many mink and rats have to be tossed or turned in? In MD we have few trappers, but the few got DNR to get with it. Raccoon, mink, otter, beaver, rats, skunks, all run to march 15. Skunks were added to that due to them being caught in DPs!

How do you remember where all your traps are?

[@Northwoods208]

The first few seasons out trapping it helps to write stuff down, once you've been at it a few years, it becomes second nature to just know where they all are. I don't even count while I'm setting, I just remember each set, and remember what everything looked like when I left it there
