Trapping Tales 2017 Pt 5

[@idaho2ndgens240]

Randall got a beauty of a lynx pelt. Something to look at for along time. Pretty cool trade I'd say. Thanks again Andrew for taking us along.

[@specvoc1237]

Andrew, thanks for being my inspiration this winter. In December I was diagnosed with lung cancer and now the doctors have back peddled on that but I've been fighting pneumonia ever since. They still don't have a clue what is wrong. After watching your videos I decided to get my fat ass out there and quit feeling sorry for myself. My black lab Ursus and I checked the small beaver and otter line I put out the other day this morning and I just finished skinning the first beaver of the spring season. My mind is clear, my body feels great, the dog is happy and I have you to thank for it. Keep it up my friend, you have no idea how many people you may be helping.

[@TheWildNorth]

+Specvoc 1 well that's great I am happy to have inspired you to get out an be active on the trap line the woods is the best medicine a person can ask for and I understand what you mean by having a clear mind keep it up buddy it only gets better and congrats on the beaver good job

[@garygast1475]

Happy for you sometimes you just got to f_it and heal your. Don't know if your a believe but I'll be put in a good word for you. Bless you and ursus

[@InTheDarknessWhereIDwell]

I was 90% sure it was the same wolverine from the game capture camera, but after watching few more videos I'm 99% certain it was the same critter. The neck markings are a give away and most of the Wolverines do not have that much colour from what I have seen in your video presentations. Your Mum will love it. It is a unique animal and thank you and Charlie and your family for sharing with all of us out here.

[@kurtz260]

Thanks for posting this Andrew. I tore up both my knees and have been on bedrest for 2 weeks waiting to get insurance and time slot for surgeries. then who knows how long I'll be screwed up afterwards and you gave me 20 minutes outside of my head and on the trail, appreciate it brother. Stay safe.

[@TheWildNorth]

+War Monger are you a Veteran?

[@kurtz260]

No, much respect for all veterans. If you mean because of my name, that was kind of a give the finger back to a lot of haters when they found out I'm from the U.S.A. I dont dislike people, personally, based on their color, religion, or nationality. Just on a lack of character usually. Thanks again for a great video.

[@mushercdn]

You have so many lynx the fox don't have a chance. Great explanation and filming of the lynx prep. The beaver box will be interesting even if it might not be practical. Your vids never disappoint. Thanks.

[@TheWildNorth]

i will have fun with the beaver box thats for sure be fun to try out

[@pattimarshall5856]

I did not know you keep the pelt so intact turning them inside out with least cutting. I'm in awe. Thank you for showing it.

[@TheWildNorth]

its pretty cool eh

[@FurTrapping]

Filmed March 3rd and uploaded March 6th. You're an editing machine Andrew. :)

[@AmolLusk]

He just does the important stuff without the blows and wihistles.

[@jimgodfrey233]

Love your videos Andrew and I can relate to the sore thumbs and finger joints when turning pelts. Try this trick you'll love how the fur stands out. Once its turned on the stretcher spray it down lightly and then tap it hard on the nose both front and back while on the stretcher and watch the fur stand up. Really fluffs them out. I miss trapping lynx, marten, fox, wolf, and beaver off my skidoo tundra when I lived in Alaska but get my fix watching you now.

[@TheWildNorth]

+jim godfrey thank you for the input I appreciate it and I love reading comments. You sound like a elder!

[@vincecamara3168]

jim godfrey n

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

I find the crinkly sounds of the dried pelt relaxing

[@elitebowman5386]

Yep I agree, looks like the same Wolverine. Smart animal. Turned and looked right at the camera. Must have heard it. Nice little dispatch gun. Man when you were turning that Lynx, I could hear how dry it was. I have ripped Coyotes when they were that dry. I think it is easier to start from the back end when turning an animal. I see many do it the same way you do it. Nice job as usual. Thanks for sharing.

[@joniselbe8305]

hi andrew. nice linx. love that little 22. so light and easy to carry i would think. your a good friend looks to me like. big cat, lots of work. randall should be really happy with that. god bless you my friend.

[@ToddWittenmyerBackwoodsLiving]

Nice cat! I like that rifle! Awesome coloration on that wolverine!

[@kendallg2042]

Yep Andrew, that's the wolverine on your camera. Beauty, congrats. love the spots

[@trapperstrailsandtales4657]

Thanks for sharing Andrew !! I too have a little survival 22. I show it in one of my videos. Thanks again !! Migwech

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

Glad to see you're doing well on the other side of the lake down there. Nice cats. Keep the videos coming!

[@therodenthitman]

Your videos are great, you explain things very well it must also keep you entertained a bit as most of the time you're up there it seems youre solo. Thanks for sharing!!

[@daniellavoie8379]

Hi Andrew, I use the same gun for dispatching. I find when the steel stock touches my cheek it's very cold in winter so I wrapped it in paracord. Take care!

[@gww9689]

Daniel Lavoie thats a great idea there . then u have cord as well if u need it in case you are in a bind

[@TheWildNorth]

that is a great idea i will do the same with the lil badger

[@GandelfTheBlack]

Wow incredible it could be the same wolverine, looks like the same markings. Keep up the awesome videos! cheers from Wrigley NT

[@enilkja]

Hey Andrew. Another great video. I'm definitely looking at getting one of those Chiappa Little Badgers. Hope things are going well with the little lady. Be well.

[@TheWildNorth]

everything is good in the north yes you should get a lil badger they are nice little survival rifle

[@Drakoo-ajw]

awesome episode man, great to see this side of the trade in depth, dont think we have seen the process so well laid out before. Old mate Randall got one hell of a trade - beautiful pelt!

[@markwallingford3252]

Sure does look like the same markings if you ask me Andrew....... Awesome videos and keep up the good work...

[@cracarackaco7980]

really liked that you showed a bit of the fur handling process, i've watched every single one of your videos and can't remember a time you have showed how to get case fur in to case fur out. anyway, good to see charlie boy still strong after his battle last fall. take it easy Andrew

[@TheWildNorth]

+Rex Racer Charlie is healthy and happy he is a real champ! There is some fur handling in a few vidoes. My favourite fur handling video is From Wolf To Wolf Pelt. Check it out

[@Frontsight1000]

Thanks Andrew for the great video, beautiful Lynx, I have 4 of the chiappa little badgers, 1 of the .22lr 1 in the .22 mag and I have 2 of the .17hmr. They are a perfect gun for the trapper or camper etc, they are the closest and easiest firearm that I have found to Carry/pack, the only other thing that would be easier in my opinion is a pistol/sidearm holstered ready for emergencies, but because we live in Canada and we need to jump through hoops to carry legally the chiappa is the next best thing. Thanks for your vids.

[@TheWildNorth]

yes i also love how compact the lil badger is also and very light also

[@lafayette4006]

Hi Andrew, the Wolverines look pretty much the same for me. Take care men. A loots of people love you down here in south BC. God bless you.

[@6412mars]

Super nice fur there Andrew..as i said previous video im a hunter fisherman from southeast Ohio..typical shit Andrew..Rabbit/squirrel/Turkey/White tail deer...and as a young man Bobwhite Quail..winter of 77/78 froze the quail out and theyve never returned as they once were to my dismay...Cheers and Carry on with the great videos

[@gpsinstructor7799]

You rock Andrew!!! In Ontario I paid $125 for same gun. Randell ripped you off. Such a beautiful lynx pelt.

[@TheWildNorth]

i am happy with the trade it was a win win situation i will get good use out of that little rifle

[@mattbradley2384]

It's cool seeing how you work the hide like that. Pretty impressive work. You've got the dream job

[@NSTRAPPERHUNTER]

Nice looking Lynx Andrew, I'm sure Randell will love it. I was going to buy on of those guns but I went with a Savage .22/.410 instead. Later

[@timvb2]

Nice lynx ! They are rare here but you seem to have quite a few up there. More bobcat here.

[@TheWildYam]

That rifle looks like an awesome one. Great trade. Any drawbacks to the fact that it folds up? You and Randall could do a collab with him showing the brain tanning of the pelt.

[@TheWildNorth]

not sure i will let you know i only got it a short time ago and have not fully tested it yet. randal lives in alberta though i probally wont be around wen he brain tans it

[@CJ_Caster]

Love the bartering system. I'm a farmer and I barter every chance I get. The best deal I've ever made was a hog for a 300 win mag. Can't beat it.

[@alaskanhunter7622]

LMAO..... It always amazes me to see how many people have viewed your videos in such a short time.

[@eightgeorge]

Looking forward to seeing how that cube beaver trap will work? Maybe you will get lucky and catch 4. What do most people use the fur for? It would be a shame to cut it all up to make coats and stuff like that. Cheers

[@RatSleds]

Andrew you can get that lil badger also in a 22 mag caliber too ya a awesome trapper$ pack gun for trapping just wanna say awesome vid bud and to me that looks like the exact wolverine you got him good! That lil badger 22 can be fitted with a scope and a tactical flash light for dim.light condition cause of its square tactical scope rail system scope on top and flashlight on bottom perfect gun fer trappin u got a sweet deal! but would be hard to beat yer 17hmr fer range but way more compact fer sure and fer close dispatching excellent

[@TheWildNorth]

i will have to look into a scope for the lil badger it is a beautiful little .22 thanks for the input

[@canada5691]

Great video again. Looks like the same Wolverine to me.

[@rendezvous5784]

I think Randall made out pretty well on this deal... nice job on the lynx!

[@brianspencer4220]

Hi Andrew: very impressive work on the pelts. Thanks fir the video. Brian 76

[@liambresnahan6054]

Andrew, same wolverine no doubt. the crest under the chin and chest dead give away. cheers my friend.

[@not2tees]

Not being a trapper myself, I'm surprised how crackly the pelt sounds as you fit it on the board and turn it inside out and so on - it's like the sound of plastic. Randall got lucky on this one. It is a real beauty. 38.5!

[@TheWildNorth]

yeah it feels stiff like wax paper the lynx pelts are real thin not like a wolverine or wolf

[@yotagerlie]

No shit man! Great catch on the wolverine. Id sure say thats the damner who was playin you and the moose skull but you out smarted him :) dayum!!!! :) NICE

[@OldSkiDoo2]

Hello Andrew! Just checking out your vid. That little .22 is really cool. I went to the Chiappa web site to check them out. They also make a .22WMR and a 17HMR! I really think I need to pick one up.

[@murrayjonasson]

That was great , Randall is a lucky man.

[@hugh73]

Hey Andrew, got to be the same animal. Neck markings are identical. Cheers from N.B.!

[@bradanderson3537]

Great little gun you got there. Keep up the great work on the videos. Just got myself a Havalon knife like yours for skinning. Hope to get better at clean skinning beaver.

[@mikeadoodles]

I love this show, maybe you should get the CBC to film you and showcase how real people trap and fish and live off the bounty of the north.

[@SeahawkCustomsPc-qk2zn]

I love watching all of you're videos my friend just amazing job.Keep up the great job. And I wish you great hunting & lots of good Trapping for you to come this year...

[@alaskanhunter7622]

Hey Andrew! Nice new little .22SL

[@allancreelman6747]

Andrew hope all is well. I thought I saw you had posted 5 and 6 but it disappeared off you tube. Was I mistaken. Really like your videos.

[@kieransakakeep755]

Solid videos!!! I’m into these kind of things

[@charlesmanning2523]

Nice pelt handling bud and I would say that wolverine looks like the same one at the moose head throat patch looks same or else he's a brother from another mother 😂😎👍

[@CliffManis]

Lynx, beautiful. What would if cost me for it and shipping to San Antonio? Thanks.

[@aonewatchman]

Thank you Andrew ... nice video...

[@sterlingscoville8482]

Andrew, what do you do in the off season, when you are not trapping? Just curious. Excellent videos, just getting into trapping myself, love watching your work. We can't use snare here. Keep up the great work, carry on

[@danialjohnson2235]

Andrew that is definitely the Wolverine from your video but I was just wondering what lures and bait you use

[@eddiestanley5760]

Awesome cat!Lucky Randal! Great fur handeling tips Andrew. Thanks a lot! As always love the videos! What size board do you use to stretch your fox? I'd like to see a video on how you take care of fox. We have fox here like you have lynx there. A lot of em! Lol thanks again Andrew!

[@TheWildNorth]

i have a fox stretcher havent used it in a few years but i will video some of it for sure

[@eddiestanley5760]

Woohoo! Thanks Andrew! I'll be watching and waiting! I like watching your videos a lot!

[@ShadowdanceII]

Definitely has the same markings as the one in the video, I'm inclined to agree with you andrew, I think you got him, that throat coloring looks very similiar to me anyway.

[@TheWildNorth]

thats what i thought but the crown looks brighter on the trail cam video

[@ShadowdanceII]

I noticed that too, could possibly be a change in lighting that makes it look brighter? Either way, that's a nice fuckin wolverine :)

[@funkyole1125]

if this fur went to auction what would it be worth, approximately..?

[@alaskanhunter7622]

Andrew I gotta tell you, I was watching some of your older videos today and I had to laugh at how much younger Charlie looks compared to now.... hes got alot more white hair around his muzzle....

[@chriswalport2979]

very nice pelts. Love your videos keep them coming..

[@hardthornedoutdoors7961]

I would love to have a Wolverine pelt. What do they run if I bought one?

[@ryanloon8533]

that looks like the same wolverine you caught that was chewing on the moose head aye nice man... i like trapping mostly martens thou... like the videos man

[@caljim1950]

Great lookin furs man! Best of luck to you at the auction!

[@pattimarshall5856]

Do you also know local people who make clothing items from pelts? I'm just curious about how to live completely by bartering goods. Are there locals who produce much of what you need for living in the north?

[@blind-dateoutdoorssportsma547]

Hey, do you actually suppose to leave the front legs on the inside after you flip them right side out?

[@TheWildNorth]

That's what the fuel harvestors auction wants!

[@blind-dateoutdoorssportsma547]

@@TheWildNorth thank you for such a quick reply.

[@seancz4527]

Good stuff man keep up the good work

[@shaneseaford4824]

That was a beautiful big wolverine

[@jaybarron9609]

Thanks for sharing love the videos ,are you going to be showing the second season of fur harvester?

[@TheWildNorth]

i dont know maybe

[@jaybarron9609]

Fair enough

[@mountainviewcattle]

Baffin Ice Bear boots! Got a good look at them while you were in the skinning shack there. They're awesome boots, I have the same pair. Do you use any other boots you'd recommend? Great job with that lynx pelt!

[@TheWildNorth]

+Mountainview Ranch yes I have a few pairs of boots I wear depends on the temp outside I will do a review on the boots I wear very soon

[@jeffkraft8029]

Thanks for the Video. Very enjoyable to watch! :) Jeff

[@jeffkraft8029]

Hey Andrew. I freeze framed that Wolverine on big screen. Same one you got on Stretcher board. (Markings on neck identical) Great job out smarting that one!! :) Jeff

[@TheWildNorth]

+Jeff Kraft ha ha right on buddy the wolverine was caught in the same area and the colours on the throat looked very similar

[@jeffkraft8029]

TheWildNorth yepper, the same one i'm thinking. Nice Wolverine. :) Jeff

[@willwalke820]

would you say the trapping is harder or the fure handling part is harder

[@TheWildNorth]

+pondhopper TV its all the same

[@bigcampnewyork3586]

professional job none on that lynx!!! Just wondering if that bear hide on your wall is the one you shot in the spring and had on your skinning shack? thanks Denny

[@TheWildNorth]

no it it not the one that was on my skinning shack i gave that one away that bear pelt is the one i shot from out of my window

[@sylvaindespatie6984]

Greats video thanks for sharing and be safe on the line

[@zindi1138]

looks to be the same dude.the wolverine does thanks mr A

[@Ronaldo7cr8]

Soooo cool videos Andrew :) Keep on and good luck. Greetings from Croatia !

[@kyraleigh9816]

That's why you mark your boards Andrew, you know where your pelt size is at while your boarding it then your not half inch under a Xl

[@TheWildNorth]

i never thought of marking my lynx board thanks for the tip i will do that

[@jackframe4216]

When does the Lynx and wolverine trapping season end up your way?

[@haroldb9262]

it sure looks like him you done a great job with him

[@chubbymacfatts9736]

I use to work on fox and mink farms,,,, the fox farm I use to skin 200 to 300 fox a year and mink I dare say 5 to 7 thousand a year,,,, I still trap abit during hunting season while i'm out deer hunting in the fall

[@buckweebit7357]

do use small boards in the ears?

[@Malcolm311]

What will Randall do with this pelt? make a sleeve?

[@TheWildNorth]

i dont know what he will do with it i know he is going to brain tan it wen he comes up to pick it up and i will give him a tour down my trapline i will make a video and ask him

[@beaverrick9789]

Shure does look like the same wolverine, great catch either way. Can you sell pelts for taxidermy to people in the us?? say I wanted to buy a wolverine or lynx pelt from you to have mounted? Just wondering Id sure like one.

[@TheWildNorth]

i could sell them to people yes just need a export permit

[@rangepro]

AWESOME!! thks for the video!

[@wheeleryellowknee647]

Good video man.

[@homevampire5839]

Whoa,million dollar smile now dude😃

[@locksbog4270]

Hey Andrew, MISTA WULFY on KZbin has a stupid easy paracord wrap video, did it to my gun & it worked great. Keep it tight & it won't even slide.

[@TheWildNorth]

i will check it out thanks

[@niayuq]

no wolves yet eh? great gun! lucky guy got a famous lynx pelt! Is that bear from outside? cool to see the old bear bone flesher!

[@TheWildNorth]

that is the bear i shot from out of my window yes i am gonna make a gun case for my old 303 brit

[@niayuq]

TheWildNorth haha niice! my first rifle was a 303 british. Never shot it though. moved and sold it before season came around.

[@ANXIETOR]

You sure are hard selling that pelt. That's a low dollar rifle here in the states.

[@TheWildNorth]

well i have not seen one before and i wanted it the value of the gun does not matter to me what matters is that it is a tool that i could really use

[@jonsmith1903]

That's trading. When you compare dollars to dollars sometimes it doesn't seem like a good deal. But when you factor in travel time, taxes, and the fact he had the Badger immediately, while Randall had to wait it's not such a bad deal.

[@TboneR-jy5sp]

Sure looks like the same wolverine with the fur on the throat and the size of the animal

[@bigDH123]

I think that is the same wolverine.

[@russellbartlett683]

Andrew I let my lynx dry for approx. 1.5 hrs. at most, when they dry to long I find them far to hard to turn and more danger to tear them, mind you I have electric heat in my shed not wood. If under legs are still damp I turn a fan aimed at the belly and legs on overnight, dries nicely.

[@McFarlaneBill]

Is there no coyotes up there?

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

I think Randall got the better end of the deal on this one.

[@mauricehebert2839]

Andrew , is there any coyotes up your way.never see you catch one . down in new Brunswick there's a lot of coyotes and a few Bob cats. there's some lynx but we can't trap them.if it's OK for me to ask what software you use for your videos . seem to work good .next year going to trap coyotes and would like to make some videos but not sure of the software to use. great video man.and good little gun you got there worth a cat for it. thanks for the video .

[@TheWildNorth]

+Maurice Hebert I use Windows live movie maker. And there is not many coyotes in my area.the wolves kill em all wen they venture to far north

[@mauricehebert2839]

TheWildNorth .OK I was wondering why.there was no coyotes . well that's a good thing in a way here they kill a lot of deer. and thanks for the info on the software . will sure try it . your a pro on both on movies and trapping good work.

[@SwampDonkey530]

Good trade..!!

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Nice cat there andrew

[@tristanbeamish8531]

Andrew have you ever got top lot for a lynx ?

[@TheWildNorth]

yes and also for one of my wolverines i got top lot at the helsinki fur auction

[@gunner5178]

do you clip the toe nails?

[@TheWildNorth]

yes i clip all the nails off the lynx they are really sharp

[@paulmurphy9902]

excellent show

[@dennyburdick2915]

Yo...how does a taxidermist from Upstate barter for a Wolverine?

[@taylorbrown7229]

You should make a video on how to split the ears and lips. That is the only thing I do not know how to do.

[@TheWildNorth]

i show that process on the video From Wolf To Wolf Pelt
