[@RecicledCanadian]

Awesome video brother. You videos are truly realistic picture of the man living in Canadian wildness. Thank you for making them. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@txhypnotist]

Thanks for posting the video. Nice to see you are getting paid a good price for your efforts. Make it a great day.

[@kylesoze486]

I've been watching your awesome videos since I was 17, now 22 I've learned a wealth of knowledge watching your videos and have been thoroughly entertained over the years, its what I look forward too when the snow starts flying here in Wyoming..... Thanks.

[@TheWildNorth]

+LAKOTA WOLF APEXGHOST right on buddy i am happy to entertain you

[@recon66661]

Great video Andrew can't wait till the next one! Thanks for sharing your life with us !

[@madtrapper27doug3]

Just wanted to say that I sure enjoy watching your videos. I'm a trapper in northern Alberta and it's an awesome lifestyle that we live. Your videos make the evenings go by much faster. Keep up the great work and may the creator fill your traps with a great bounty. Take care out there

[@micahjohnson1703]

So smart andrew didn't even skip a beat and had that piss on the tree for scent GENIUS!! Keep up good work love the videos bro

[@shewasgood]

This is awesome. It's really cool seeing the economics of the fur trade and the skill that is required to reap any benefits. Awesome videos and keep showing everyone how great the North is!

[@geemeff]

Another great video man, nice to see your back up and making vids, We love your channel.....right on man!!!!

[@sterlingjohnson289]

always admire your work ethic... and finding the time to make these videos ! keep'um coming ! all the best

[@ShadowdanceII]

Glad to see you do a bit of detail on that Mackenzie Valley fur program :) Also happy that 5-day streak broke, lookin forward to the next

[@Tossdart]

Thanks for upfronting that honesty Andrew. We have a lot of wolves in our area & I almost sharpened my skinning knife after a life below 0 or some such. I though naw & checked fur prices. A great program there Andrew & how else eh. I mean a person living in bush these days at least has to have some money & what better way do people think I wonder. Myself I no longer have to hunt bur pride myself that a lot of our food is land food & my kids know how to survive & even know some primitive skills as I kept that life real for them. I do hope you read my comments.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Tossdart i read all the coments my friend

[@crissyladd]

Appreciate the show your sets have inspired me to catch my first Bobcat

[@DarrenCharron]

Hey Andrew you have an awesome show I enjoy and appreciate all the trapping you do.

[@NLGhostWolf]

That's a wonderful program for sure. Dandy lynx.

[@mckinziefishingandhunting140]

That fur program seems like a good thing .. Keep Up the Videos enjoy them all!.. Good Luck to you!

[@paulmckenna9492]

This channel is absolutely the best !

[@calebhakala5526]

Great videos keep making them

[@contreeman]

THAT WAS A BIG CAT. GOOD LUCK THIS SEASON. STAY WARM MY FRIEND, AND MAY THE FUR FLY IN THE SKINNING SHED. GOD BLESS

[@schymark7196]

If you love what you do you'll do it till you can't. You don't trap for the money as much as you trap cause you love doing it. It's your life. You are a lucky man. Stay safe and warm up there. Live to hunt, hunt to live(and trap)!!

[@nickverlaan5851]

Awesome man! Been watching a ton of your old videos waiting for this one, can't wait to watch it!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Nice, been looking forward to this one. Cheers Moose from Downunder.

[@jactur4208]

you are the best Andrew good luck on this season

[@JustinC905]

Beautiful Lynx. Thanks for the info. Be safe, and best of luck always. I like how you've differentiate your traps. Like you placed that skull there in another video, then you showed it again to recognize it's the same trap you had. You should make an intro with all the little critters running around the cabin. :D Cheers.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Justin Coombs yeah i will show my pet critters i see em everyday charlie usually has them under the cabin most the time hes always trying to catch them

[@julieshepherd7621]

just want to sy how much i enjoy your vidios Thanks so much

[@scottk0623]

Hi Andrew, great video as always, things slow to start here in CT. Otter, mink , muskrat , this week. Beaver and coyote start 12/1. Good luck be safe

[@Ribbitmefoot]

Right on Andrew.... Hope your season only gets better man.

[@GHStudios1000]

great video and this channel deserves at least 100000 subs

[@darwinrisinger6537]

Boy, I wish we had a program like that where i live ( Texas,USA)!!:-)

[@SKyNeT948]

Always a beautiful day in the Bush when you can get away and relax. Cheers from the USA eh

[@MrBgrays]

Thanks for explaining the prices of your fur

[@ImASurvivorNThriver]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.

[@maxmoffitt1704]

Sweet vid man. Down here in NB we down have any snow yet. Can't wait for it. Best of luck to ya, max

[@hunt4fish]

Hey Andrew, nice vid. too bad 5 days no fur, could have had shit weather like me right now; mother nature on a revenge rampage with the snow and stuff. My quad is back in the woods till snow goes enough to get it moving again. That's trapping! Like how the program for fur payment works there in your happy north! cheers mon.

[@workingclasswoodsman]

Another good one bud

[@masonkim7]

5:16 "Fack!" 9:36 "Holy sheat!" haha

[@NSTRAPPERHUNTER]

Great video Andrew. Keep it real buddy.

[@BUSYBAYMENKRISRUMBOLT]

great show buddy, not bad for selling fur looks like a great system

[@oddashuman]

It was nice to see the business side of things in this video.

[@kylesoze486]

I watched a fur auction in china a couple years back, pelts of some kind from the northwest territories were selling for the equivalent of 34,000USD in YUAN, and some sold even higher!!!!!!

[@mushercdn]

I wish i had that trapping program. I get what the auction says I get. lately, that really sucks .i'm really glad that trappersm such as yourself, have access to it. You need a winch or a rope-a-long. It might make your quad life easier. Googling rope-a-long might make you spend a little and safe you a huge hassle some time in the future.

[@TheWildNorth]

+mushercdn i will be using ski doo now getting too cold for quad

[@Erated78]

Great video Andrew, it's always nice to watch see how you live day to day up north at your camp. I would never have thought the woods were so thick up in the NWT, nice country man. No new news on your snowmobile problems?

[@TheWildNorth]

+Erated78 bravo is ready to go yup yeah the woods are so thick in some places it is impassable

[@GCRockymtns]

Tks for the video, lmao $1000 Lynx I wish, just wish I could trap full time lol keep the vids coming man

[@livingsurvival]

POLAR BEAR!

[@TheBeatenPaths]

Was polar bear on the list?? Hopefully it said "$0"!!

[@JohSno]

+The Beaten Paths $2200

[@TheBeatenPaths]

Unbelievable

[@keidall]

Awesome video as always Andrew buddy!

[@aonewatchman]

Hope you get some cold weather and snow so you can do what you do best.

[@TheSkinking]

That fur program is a sweet deal. I was wondering why you would even consider going for beaver with the prices sucking like they are right now. Now I know why! I would be throwing snares on every wolf track I saw too. Good luck and keep the videos coming.

[@rodney12310]

Beauty lynx!!! All the best to ya!!

[@michozdzicho]

great vids Andrew! Greetings from Poland!

[@ranchhorse1005]

Have you tried setting some satellite snares off your lynx cubbies? A little bit of fencing around the edges and with three or so snares will pick up those cats, and foxes, that won't commit. Your cubbies work so well though, you don't seem to have any cats the don't commit. Great vids.

[@PJ-HT59South]

badass...thats pretty damn good payout

[@SuperOlds88]

According to that list ya need to start targeting Polar Bears.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Lightnin Hopkins gotta go further north theres is none around my neck of the woods

[@SuperOlds88]

I figured that but when I saw the list you showed that Polar bear price stood out, haha.

[@inuvik61]

+Lightnin Hopkins A lot of the polar bear hunters sell their hides privately and fetch a lot more than 2200. Taxidermists are their main customers.

[@SuperOlds88]

I was joking there, sorry if I came across too serious.

[@trapperkingsbushcraftandsu4754]

Lightnin Hopkins yeah if you tan them and craft it it triples the price im mpving to alaska and i own my own business trapping hunting crafting tanning all that its a good business

[@punchtothemind7582]

Good video man. We finally got a little snow here in Saskatoon but winter is sure taking it's sweet time arriving this year. I looked back and saw that your river was frozen much earlier in past years too eh?

[@TheWildNorth]

+Punch to the Mind yeah pretty warm here also i crossed the river on oct 20th before i wont cross till this wek sometime

[@spartin86]

Interesting video, thanks for the posts.

[@superscaryeti]

love your videos buddy, hopefully the fur is thick this year

[@Bushway]

Nice video, Andrew!

[@flyifri]

Just tuned in, and wandering what part of the country your in. Love your show..! Thanks

[@mmrtactical7764]

So glad you jammed that Klondike trapper show. It's so ridiculous...who the hell believes that crap? What you're doing is real trapping, best show on KZbin and TV.

[@3DFOXCALLSUK]

be a nice week if you got a polar bear!, could get yourself a new skidoo. keep it up man, love the videos.

[@brendarostom7077]

Why the hateful comments there's people that actually enjoy seeing the outdoors. Stop hating

[@JonJon205]

Yeah let me know if you get one. Good luck!:)

[@frankieon10spliffsofweed52]

Great vid!

[@blazebott]

Andrew this is becoming a religious ceremony to me i come home after a long day spark the bong and load up and all new wildnorth times changed huh ? ? ? ?

[@TheWildNorth]

+J Blaze ha ha right on buddy

[@rednecklowlife]

Think you should go for the $1750.00 Polar Bears! LOL!

[@linklesstennessee2078]

good video andrew nice catch

[@phattdawgtrapping3640]

great video , thank you ! only 5 days with no fur ? i can do that standing on my head (unfortunately).

[@VadimkaMr]

that cat is so fluffy hahahah

[@ouchfoss]

Love your channel. Been watching for I think 3 years now. What ever happened with Season 2 of Fur Harvesters NWT? Was looking forward to it this year.

[@TheWildNorth]

+ouchfoss it airs on wild tv dec 19th i believe it is all ready airing on nortwestel community cable here in the north

[@JonJon205]

I cant find Fur Harvesters season 2 on VIMEO. Is it gonna be on their bud? If no there where can I find it? TAKE CARE MY FRIEND. Jon LeCroy, Aviston Illinois. Oh I had a great deer season so far. Two nice deer to butcher tomorrow. I got a muzzleloader tag left to fill.

[@PolluxA]

$90 for marten is not bad, taking into consideration how easy it is to put up boxes along the same line you use when trapping lynx and wolverines. Does honey work as bait over there? Here in Norway I make tampons soaked in honey. I usually cut the top off a bottle and nail it to the inside of the marten box. Then I thread the tampon trough the opening and tighten the cork over the thread. This way it's protected from rain and shit. The weather here is shifting all the time. I don't know if it's any use over there. You should give it a try and see if it works.

[@TheWildNorth]

+PolluxVarangir i have never heard of useing hony i will have to try it out sometime this winter

[@PolluxA]

+TheWildNorth I usually mix some star anise with honey and heat it on the stove until it is liquid. Do not boil it. Use heather honey, the smell is intense in comparison to other types. When it is done it will look like this i46.tinypic.com/bi6zy9.jpg

[@lacindabailey6870]

a dog biscuit with a little peanut butter and honey shoved in a dirt hole. Fox and yotes love it.

[@waynekirkslope]

Another very nice lynx. Do you go after wolves much in your area? Those pelts fetch a pretty hefty price.

[@HavocMaster]

You should be a reality show. Better watching your videos than anything on tv. PS where was charlie in this video?

[@neuroleptika]

+havocmaster69 He is, Fur Harvesters NWT

[@HavocMaster]

+neuroleptika Thanks

[@TheWildNorth]

+havocmaster69 charlie was around he dont like to go out too much in the winter too cold for him

[@ennyseesippin]

So, if you could give a number, how much would you say you've made in furs? Since you've been trapping. Lol! Awesome vid Andrew. Hopefully it's picking up by now and you're trapping the shit out of those Lynx and wolverine. 👊🏽

[@ryanloon8533]

Whoa I wish they had a fur program here in ont... i find it hard trapping cause the FHA agent in ont gives you 25 dollars for advance for martens and wolves you get nothing and I see the advance you get for fur I’m like man wish I lived where you was hah... but yeah awesome videos yo I like watching your videos

[@trappingworld6463]

Hey Andrew... is that program for all the trappers in the yukon/NWT areas?

[@Logjam5]

Got a get a wench for that thing, as always good vid.

[@stunplay4130]

You should get a po box so we can send you some cool stuff that you can maybe use in your videos.

[@LeonardoSummers]

After every four words the f bomb is dropped

[@bigcampnewyork3586]

Andrew, your off to a good start. Are you going to target more wolves this year? Guess you will keep gloves on too> Denny

[@TheWildNorth]

+bigcampnewyork yeah i made 20 wolf snares

[@superscaryeti]

that is one massive linx, i bet it could do some damage if you tried to wrestle it

[@TheWildNorth]

+Hillbilly Gold oh for sure they got claws like razors

[@spicysocks4492]

so what do you do with the corpses when youre done skinning them?

[@russwhite4446]

nice andrew trapping is sure a grind you work damn hard for that kind of money is the bravo ready to go? Be safe out there good luck.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Russ White yupp bravo is up and running again i will use that until we get enough snow to take out the skandic 4 stroke

[@russwhite4446]

+TheWildNorth that 4 stroke should be real nice on gas i would think real rugged machine be safe out on the line looking forward to more snow here also atb Russ

[@MrTikka1950]

Great videos Andrew. What calibre are you using to not damage the fur and where do you place the shot? Cheers

[@TheWildNorth]

+Michael Squires i use .17 hmr lynx i shoot between the eyes and wolves wolverine get shit in the heart

[@arock428]

fuck yeah bud

[@SwampDonkey530]

Hahahah you almost didn't have enough grip-shun to make that hill. Yep, hate how they over inflate the price of things on them reality shows..and the sheeple actually believe everything they say! Should hear them, oh yeah gonna go trapping this winter and buy a new truck with the money...stupid fux!!!

[@muskrat411]

you mean a lynx and a fox do not= $1000.00? Man I was pricing out a new 🐻 😻 only 11 lynx and foxes.

[@BUSYBAYMENKRISRUMBOLT]

+muskrat411 wouldn't go artic cat would ya

[@muskrat411]

+THE BUSY BAYMEN KRIS RUMBOLT Just wanted to use the pictures.

[@SwampDonkey530]

+muskrat411 LOL, if that were the case, every critter in the bush would be an endangered species. Yep caught a weasel today, should pay for my gas all week!!!

[@BUSYBAYMENKRISRUMBOLT]

what a joke hey, people actually believe that bull, crazy

[@longbed454]

Just curious Andrew do you still have your Argo? And your videos are awesome👍🍻

[@TheWildNorth]

+Chad “Longbed454” Pawson yupp still got the argo

[@brendarostom7077]

Amazing

[@trapseb]

you are very lucky with this fur program,, with nafa last year...a lot of fur unsold beaver 15 dollard,, mink 10 dollard ,,,, otter 30 ,,,, i ts suck man!!!!

[@germanhuntingdog]

Does the bullet hole drop the price of the pelt?

[@TheWildYam]

Is the fur program sponsored by the NWT territorial government or other groups? It is an amazing program for sure. Marten prices seem really good too for the size of them.

[@TheWildNorth]

+TheWildYam its a joint program i believe with fur harvestors and the territorial government

[@TheWildYam]

+TheWildNorth Cool. Thanks.

[@thanhdinh8192]

How cold is it out their?

[@lacindabailey6870]

don't have many wolves around those parts huh?

[@ontariobushcraft536]

Andrew I think many people have a lot of respect for you because you are as real as it gets I come for the knowledge but stay for the good ol Canadian swearing for the simple fact of swearing. And I see people get down on you all the time for it and you haven't stopped that shows that you are a real person. Canadians swear People bug me all the time for it too Fuck'em if swearing offends you all I have to say is "your not going to make it" Two people in this world those with loaded guns and those who will eat shit for the rest of their lives.............

[@muskrat411]

couple mistakes on the fur price calendar bit. If a wolf sells for $200.00 you now get the bonus. Also if your beaver sells for less then $25.00 you do not get the bonus so you are only guaranteed $25.00 on beaver. Smalls probably won't sell for any thing. I now understand what you were talking about with that infection you got from that wolf. I got an infection skinning golu the other day. Man is that sore, I can't even chisel.

[@muskrat411]

Cool be good to get some mail.

[@JonJon205]

+muskrat411 What is Golu. I hope you are better. Jon LeCroy Aviston Illinois

[@muskrat411]

+JonJon205 Golu Golu the Latin name for wolverine. It's science thing I'm not better yet hopefully tomorrow I'm bored out of my 🎄. Plus it is sore. Thanks for asking

[@JonJon205]

Do you think you should get antibiotics? Or Get better bud.

[@muskrat411]

Got pills and iv like an old granny. Missing the last couple weeks of sunshine. But take the time get better and give hard in the dark when the fur primes up.

[@peterpan58]

U should make a video of going to sell the fur

[@SODEMO2007]

How much do you get for a lynx fur anyway?

[@paulmckenna9492]

Andrew have ever trapped a Grizzly or Polar Bear ?

[@TheWildNorth]

+Paul McKenna no i havent theres not many in my neck of the woods

[@youflaw3285]

hey are the river taking longer to freeze up by the year? is it taking longer than last year?

[@TheWildNorth]

+Fan Ran yes it is takeing long to freeze very mild so far only seen -15 once

[@youflaw3285]

+TheWildNorth I ask because global warming and the Inuit People from the north noticed that the earth have shifted a little. it's getting harder to bring whale because the ice are getting weak by the year. I would love to live off the land as a hunt and gatherer for a year with my lady and friends

[@beaverrick9789]

At least you are guaranteed something, Here its not even worth going out.

[@702havingfun]

how much is bobcat fur going for?

[@LoveOfTheLand]

Andrew how would i find out if there is a program like that near me I live in Ontario Canada?

[@ontariobushcraft536]

+NADJIWON CRITTERCONTROL Wouldn't the Mnr be able to tell you? If not OFAH? www.furmanagers.com/ Shoot these guys an email maybe

[@trapperstrailsandtales4657]

+NADJIWON CRITTERCONTROL I love love to know also----

[@TheWildNorth]

+NADJIWON CRITTERCONTROL there is no other program like it anywere in the world its the only 1
