~Trapping Season is Coming Fast! ~ Need to start getting ready~ Beaver Tail Oil Lure~

104F August Heat....Time to Start Thinking About Trapping Season?
YOU BET! Trapping season will be here before ya know it!!!
Beaver Tail Oil is attractive to almost every Predator. Beaver Castor is attractive to all the rest, incuding other beaver. They are a very useful animal to the trapper....
Enjoy!

Good Mornin! Lookin for a couple of toothpicks to prop my eyelids open, sorry. Long night... Take er easy.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good Morning! Me too! I'm not ready to be awake yet, but got stuff to do....

[@darreldwalton8763]

@MuskratOutdoors Yup, spent the morning cutting that downed Quakie into firewood, and a dead pine out back, cleaned the mess, mowed, trimmed, and now it's time for pain meds and nap time...

[@rogerdontstopnowboyskeepit9461]

Morning Gary. Those steers know that you are an old softie !

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I think so.....they sure don't seem worried! HA!

[@dagordon1150]

Good morning Muskrat and Cindy, hoping you have a wonderful day !!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good Morning!!! You too!

[@billiep4338]

Morning 👋🏻 The lumpy burrow’s hair looked good. Miss Cindy brushed him out nice. He might not like the saddle, but if it works, it works. Hurricane 🌀 Debby is heading NE, & she’s moving slow, & dumping a lot of water. We got almost 8 inches by last night. The sun is out today. Have a great day ❤

[@MuskratOutdoors]

HOLY MOLY! I can't imagine 8 inches of rain! Here, an 8 inch rain would mean one drop every 8 inches!!! I'm glad to hear you folks weathered the storm! Literally! He does look a lot better without that loose hair. Yesterday he rolled onto his back, but was able to get back up again. Maybe he's getting better!

[@leonardryan8723]

Great 👍 little video this morning cover a little on everything Gary 😊 .

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thank you! It's hard doing these one a day! I just pack the camera everywhere and try to show the hopefully interesting stuff.

Season is fast approaching. I got a doe tag this season, hopefully I’ll get to fill it. Soon it’ll cool again. 👍👍

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It is coming fast! I hope you do! Used to be, finding a doe was about a guarantee, but not anymore!

[@tmccormick48]

Good morning young man. Looks like your getting ready for the season, Hope your day is good and uneventful. Be sure the freezer has room and is ready. Love Lumpy's saddle, he'll get used to it.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good morning! It's coming fast! Until the Fair is over, I can't do a lot, but the little stuff like this can still be done.

[@ronwatson4902]

Good morning. I hope you have a record trapping season for the other critters as well!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thank you! It will be an interesting one for sure. Good Morning!

Thank you too! I'll sure be glad to get back onto the mountains this Fall.

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

Good morning Gary. Yes, season is quickly approaching! I didn't make any beaver oil this year as I still have about half a gallon from last year. Does work good though. It draws in just about everything. My dandelion wine is finally done and it is delicious! Fairly potent though, lol. The fermentation process took 2 months. I'm going to start another batch, maybe rhubarb. Have a good day my friend.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It is. It's hot now, but will be snowing again before long. GREAT! That dandelion wine is good! I was surprised how long it took to ferment also. Most wine is quicker than that. I've never made any rhubarb. I'm not seeing many choke cherries this year. I was hoping to make some from them. Have a great day!

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

@@MuskratOutdoors, There is going to be a good crop of Chokecherries up here this year. I've heard Chokecherry wine is very good.

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

I've been getting ready since season closed but got some new traps to get ready!! Thank you for sharing and Good luck with everything my friend!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

As soon as the fair is over, I need to start going through my trapping stuff.....no time until then. Good Luck this season! Paul showed a set yesterday I've never seen before. Pretty interesting.

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

@@MuskratOutdoors Yes I saw that! I'm planning on going back up there with him in January!

[@erikthered5539]

Boy that beaver tail oil sure looks like it would smell horrible 😂 thanks Muskrat for sharing 👍🏼✌🏼

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It looks awful, but actually very mild and not unpleasant at all. Sometimes I don't think it has enough smell to attract anything, but they seem to find it.

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

😊🙏👍❤️

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@jonfoy9166]

Good morning. Well sure looks like a smelly substance lol. I'm glad it actually isn't that bad. You sure do have a lot of that beaver oil. Hopefully it helps you land some great critters. Good luck and have a great day

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good morning! It's surprisingly mild smelling. It does work good though!

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

Time is slipping along. Moose/caribou hunting starts in less than a month. I have to pass on that this year but I am good to go with some trapping. Downright tropical here as Hurricane Debbie is moving up the eastern seaboard. Not so much a wind event but plenty of rain & humid air. Have a good day.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

GOOD LUCK! Both the Hunting and Trapping, as well as the Hurricane! I've seen tornados, but never a hurricane. It doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy.

[@johndavis2720]

They are shortening wolf trapping,but they lengthened most other seasons up here for elk and deer.they have an cow elk tag up here that opens august 1st and i dont understand that at all They are still weaning they're calves! Anyway i better not get started.awesome video! Thanks again and have a good day!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

They are going to have to make major changes to our hunting seasons or there won't be anything left. I don't understand the August season either. Not only do they have calves, but it's too hot! Flies are terrible, and the meat will spoil fast.

[@bullseyedixon5660]

MORNING. HAVE A GRET DAY. HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE GUN SHOW THIS WEEKEND

[@MuskratOutdoors]

The Missoula one? I'd sure like to go, but not sure we will make it.

[@stevemccoy8138]

Good Morning Muskrat, Gee I hope you don't get confused and put beaver tail oil on your flap Jack's. 😅

[@MuskratOutdoors]

HA! THAT would be BAD! Bad enough with the wolf pee in the nose spray bottle!

Mornin' !

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good Morning!!!

[@jimmyhoffa7935]

$30 for beaver dayum had a trucker tell me beaver was going for $60 an hour for conversation at the truck stop & thats after washing off in a mud puddle in the parking lot😅

[@MuskratOutdoors]

HA! I think that's a different type!

[@jasonaffeldt7838]

Good morning Gary. Back in the 80's I would buy Christmas presents after I sold my hides when I was in high school at the time. You could use a straw to suck out the last of your t trapping lure🤔? Just a thought...Have a good day.🇺🇲🌲🔥🔪

[@MuskratOutdoors]

That might work....It should be OK though. Yeah, a Fur Check used to buy something. Now you are lucky to replace the money you spent in gas.

[@Andrew-sanders]

Instead of that pack saddle that old burro needs to be put in dry lot and on a diet. Have to use the saddle a while but as she slims down it can leave. Would feed more than a leaf of grass hay a day for a good while

[@NonTypicalRacing]

Yeh but, it's not fat...it has fatty tumors or lipoma's. It's not gonna lose them.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

That might help, but it's fatty tumors that are causing the problem. They are hard deposits that won't go away. Part of the problem is in his breeding. He's half regular burro, and half mini burro. Those mini's are strangely built, more dwarf like. The lady we got him from fed him a lot of grain when he was young causing those fatty tumors.

[@dlansburg2673]

Now that was a very interesting video for me,thanks for sharing more knowledge,have a good day, ps talking with one of the top beaver trappers in the north east at souix falls, he said beaver prices are falling!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

That wouldn't surprise me. The fun market changes fast. Right now, beaver are going into making cowboy hats mostly because of that Yellowstone TV show craze. I think this is the last season for it, and the fad will probably die off unless they make another good Western.

[@rogerdontstopnowboyskeepit9461]

Yes, felling timber is dangerous work for man and beaver!!! Dropped a good many, so far so good but can’t move so fast as I use too. Have an outstanding day ol boy !!! Autumn is around the corner. Was that a cottontail bunny or a Jack ? No jacks here in western Massachusetts.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It is. A logger friend used to say "Run or die!" Cottontail. Getting to be quite a few around this year.

[@heathboeddeker5401]

Howdy Mr. Muskrat , in the past when I've made beaver oil i've always double siphoned mine by combining all containers of oil than . Siphoning again after 24 hours making sure to leave about 1/8 inch of oil behind a ove the water line. I'm peculiar that way I don't want no water in my container of oil Sir 😊

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I don't want the water either. I've heard some folks filter it, but I'm not sure how? Good idea double siphoning. Maybe I'll find a bigger jar and do that......I like that idea! THANK YOU!

[@heathboeddeker5401]

@@MuskratOutdoors Howdy Mr. Muskrat filtering wouldn't remove the water as far as I know Sir. Anybody filtering beaver oil would be doing that to remove chunks ,more than likely thru cheesecloth Sir.

Where about are you?

[@elkaholic338]

I enjoy hearing that rooster ! Is there such a thing as being too hot to make wax dirt ?

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Nope! The hotter the better. I was thinking I should make some more. Looking at the forecast, it's supposed to cool off so I might have waited too long. I think I have enough though.

They are! If you look close, his eye is grey. Blind on that side. It's the one I live trapped and released again. Glad to see him still there.

[@numbskullskills]

Wouldn't of thought that could happen must of been suicidal. Good golly ten of them youd be rich if they were worth somthin. The 80s was a great time to be a trapper

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It makes me wonder how often they do drop trees on themselves. I've seen Other pictures of that, but not many, and I've never seen it in real life. Yeah, no wonder those guys were willing to risk their lives in the Wilderness.

Need to put bait out in front of your cameras or dog crap cheaper bait. And woof will come back to check.

There is a little fox urine at most of my cameras. I did forget it at this spot though. Really, a good trail shouldn't need bait.....but it does help!.

@@MuskratOutdoors I've found you have to give them a meal for them to come around regular. They can be there 25 feet away from cameras never no it. In the fall winter you can see tracks.

We finally got a good rain

[@StevenMMan]

Now just cuz some used a pocket 🔪 on the young fella is no cause to make fun of him. Sheesh calling him a 🐄 🙄 I probably should try and trap this year, but lack the energy/health to do it justice. Have been seeing a few Coyote, fox, and even a few bobcats on my trail cameras and are overrun by raccoons. Have been considering doing a short video on one bobcat picture called... how many kitty's do you 👀?I know how I see but have a visual impairment. So others say I have the incorrect number, others agree. Mountain man

[@MuskratOutdoors]

They can be really hard to see! I enjoy the chase and the trapping lifestyle, but really, money isn.t there anymore. Tanning them and selling things made from them would probably be a better idea.
