Good video. I got some rat clips that will work with those 1 1/2 in open water and under ice. Also in the next month or so will have the coni clips that can be used on 3/8 poles. No more h stands

[@BackOutdoors]

I had alot of troubles trapping under the ice but after i watched this i knew everything i needed to. thanks for the help and please make more videos.

[@hannahavery9877]

this helped me a lot. Put some sets out today in some runs in a marsh hope to catch some rats tomorrow we had ice so it helped me identify the runs and dens. thanks for the video

[@snyper069]

Great idea using the lathe with the H-stand. Thank you for the valuable tip.

[@flamedrag18]

great videos, but I wonder, have you ever used orange tape or trail flagging for baits? I heard it's a good substitute for carrots since muskrats only use their eyes in the water and thus anything orange will look appetizing. it'll last longer and never need to be replaced as long as it's not torn away.

[@melthompsoniii]

No wonder this is so popular! Great video - thank you for time for sharing.

[@jjkostal]

@nickfinns it all depends on your state laws and you'll have to chop through the ice and when doing so be careful not to damage the trap they are very bendable and you might have to adjust so the door will still open

[@southwing73]

Thanks, Great Video keep them coming.

[@anamericanman11]

Must be nice - no snow! You can actually see the air bubbles on their runs! No such luck here!

[@LearnItRightorDie]

i saw that thumb get caught in that 110...lol...my mounts got here finally.. been drilling bricks and inserting ANCHORS...ANCHORS!!!

[@ceewolfe]

Great ideas, very informative. I have never trap under the ice, intentionally that is, but you have given me some great ideas to get ready for next season. Keep up the good work! I really enjoy the videos!

[@SamWoodOutdoors]

@16bigbass Yes I use this set a lot around huts

[@LikeABoss1129]

@paradokz Dude, Muskrats sometimes cause problems for people who own shoreline. Its effective, and it works. besides, the guy said he only did one side of the lake, and muskrats reproduce very quickly.

[@MrMatt5252]

I know this might sound dumb but how do you know if muskrats are in the pond before you set traps do you scout or do you just assume that they are there? Thanks

[@jtschid0910]

Are the muskrats always using the collapsed bank dens or do they abandon them after they collapse?

[@MrDeadeye777]

so when u put those 110s out do you just put them out above a run or just on a bubbel spot by a feader den.

[@jakejones642]

Thanks man I'll unlock the new channel I'm looking forward for upcoming season trapping videos

[@WildlifeAlec]

In runs that are 1-3 feet deep do you set the baited 110s right under the ice or on the bottom?

[@16bigbass]

For the 110 conibear feeder set can you put them around huts too?

[@beavertrapper330]

when you set rat runs do u push the conibear all the way to the bottom?

[@MNTrapperNate]

great video!

[@SamWoodOutdoors]

@MrMatt5252 scout it. look fro dens, houses and feeder huts. if the ice is clear look for bubble trails

[@dippinwithfattboy760]

We just now got ice here in Kentucky and I can really see the bubble trails

[@SamWoodOutdoors]

+Dippin With fattboy mark them all then go back and trap.

[@trapperkid101]

Could u tell me the details on the brick mounts? Thx

[@nick14zup]

What time of year are the mustcrat most active?

[@scoutlee7816]

What if you did the board set with a 110 conibear instead of a coil spring? You could nail a bracket mount and attach it that way?

[@austinkraft2418]

Hey! I just started trapping and dont really know a whole lot. Do you recommend dying your traps like a snare, and wax them?

[@sethkorbut4810]

Hey man if been watching your videos I never really knew how to trap and skin a animal until I watched your videos keep it up and I would appreciate it if you could make a video where you teach how to die and wax traps

[@virginianmtsam7016]

Hey Sam I was wondering how many muskrats did caught out of all those sets??

[@hunterwhitaker8527]

Awesome vid bigtimebowfishing makes the best trapping videos

[@davidmussche3947]

Thanks Lucas

[@SamWoodOutdoors]

@chumpalumpa222 no it was a leaf blowing across the ice

[@YuDumPhuck]

What are they gonna do with the muskrats? Eat them?

[@SamWoodOutdoors]

@bigtimebeginningtrap in lakes and ponds this is what I use. When I trap rivers I use pocket sets and bottom edge sets

[@jimmendelson6571]

I set one conibear under the ice and the next day I got one it was in a small pond between two feeders

[@SamWoodOutdoors]

awesome

[@nicebuck11]

Hey I saw this video like a week ago and love the idea so went out and bought some wood but got the wrong kind, I got the wide kind you use with the footholds insted of the smaller kind that you use with the 110s. do you think it would work if i used a 110 where the foothold goes?? or would they swim around it???? if you dont mind can you inbox me your respawns!! I really need to know, this weekend im going to my cabin to trap some rats and rally need to know. thanks and happy trapping!!!

[@SuperTrapper101]

What do you use to chip the ice

[@davidmussche3947]

where do u get the clamps u put on to hold the 110 on the board and then the brick

[@muskrat411]

I tried to trap muskrats under the ice just hanging baited 120 connibears beside the feeder dens got 0. I think I will try you ways from know on.

[@shawnstrothman237]

When your using lathe for your stakes, I've heard beaver will swim by and chew off your stake, would that be true?

[@Roscoeoutdoors]

what do you cut the hole in the ice with

[@AmericanTrapper311]

Awesome video

[@bowmad100]

[@jjkostal]

@paradokz first of all its legal get use to it second this practice has been around for a long time oh and around or place these rats are digging under our driveway and yard even had some in our basement this is the best most efficient way of exterminating these pests btw they are a good way too make some cash and i find it fun and a good way to bond with my grandfather

[@hexbug99]

There is no problem with hunting so long as you do not over hunt and he is deliberately staying away from over hunting. I feel like half these people commenting are from greenpiece or something. Humans hunt to survive. Maybe you didn't know but the stuff that makes you bigger and stronger, meat, comes from living things. So boo hoo f-ing Egypt today tons of cows, chickens, and pigs died today because of you. So what, you need to eat. Plus common sense, why search these kind of videos when your

[@MrBojangals817]
