Trapping Jan 1st -15th

[@trapperfurever]

Awesome video. Beautiful catches. Those wolves are going to get some necklaces soon Brother!

[@idaho2ndgens240]

We finally got some snow here in N. Idaho over the last three weeks, then a big cold front for us. Minus 16F for a few days. The wolves moved into my spot with the snow as the elk and deer dropped down due the snow. I picked up a 90 lb male yesterday finally. A happy day for me. Love your channel and look forward to every episode.

[@Tommyr]

Great video as usual! I love coming along! Thank you!

[@leonardryan8723]

Keep up 🔝 great work on trap 🪤 lines and great videos 😊.

[@terrykoch1250]

Like your views on conservation, very good program, Thanks, this old man enjoys it.

[@dean5890]

Tks for the property description, I’ve often wondered how much area you cover on the trap lines. Hope you can keep the videos coming, best trapping videos on You Tube!!

[@DuncanSelvester]

Thank you from the UK for posting this. I really enjoy your content! More please!

🐺 🐾 🦊 ОТЛИЧНАЯ ДОБЫЧА 🐺 🐾 🦊 Снега совсем мало, а у нас на снегоходе в угодья тяжело пробться. Прикольная идея диски метками ставить, интересно зверь не пугается, надо попобовать, обычно тряпки цветные вешаю, но их снегом облепляет, трудно найти .

[@araratoutdoors]

Nice job on the video. Very entertaining. 👍

[@roberteddy8962]

Wicked videos I sure enjoy watching them

Nice bunch of fur Brother. I had a cat eaten by another cat last season. It sucks. I'm excited to see those wolf tracks. I hope you catch a whole whack of them. Thanks for sharing the adventure! Best wishes to you.

[@whatido3021]

[@frankhengstler6101]

Awesome stuff brother, can’t wait to see how you make out with the wolves 👍👍

[@mikebot6811]

[@ClarenceOlsen-o2g]

Awesome catch enjoy your videos

[@leonardryan8723]

Them CD work great for lynx buddy , our Martin are protected on the ROCK 🪨 709 , our coyotes are more like wolves 🐺 here 😊. Take care stay warm on south trap 🪤 line buddy .

[@whatido3021]

Thanks Leonard!

[@rackman5111]

Right on buddy nice catch 👍 to bad for the cat's that got eaten. Can't believe you still have no snow but lot's of ice making at -40

[@whatido3021]

Thanks!

[@fernfournier3625]

Another great video thanks keep up good work. You have a lot of ground to cover my line is 100 square miles and lynx numbers are good my best year is 16 good ones plus others that were lunch . You must have big beaver quotas too

[@whatido3021]

That's a good Lynx season you had! Lynx numbers are very good here right now, hopefully I can reduced some of the Lynx numbers so the populations don't crash with them clearing out the current healthy rabbit populations. We don't have beaver quotas in Alberta, a little different then what I had when I was trapping in Ontario. Thanks Fern!

[@---lj9us]

Great gob! Thanks for your video!

[@farmhand6524]

Lot of work gettin done there, well done...

[@whatido3021]

Thanks!

[@TubeLubochka]

Thanks 🎉

[@jimsutton9143]

Damn good check! Hopefully the eaten ones dont count towards your quota. Thanks for sharing!

[@NSTRAPPERHUNTER]

Nice catches, congrats. Hope you're feeling better soon.

[@whatido3021]

Thanks!

[@МойГосподин-ц5ю]

Good..

[@wadestewart9891]

Nice fur, too bad about the poor snow conditions. Hope it snows for you soon and thanks for posting your videos.

[@timminstraprs2169]

Are your townships 10km x 10km? Got a fisher one time, I think the video is Nov 2018, anyway, it broke the tie wire and buggered off down the trail 35’ with a trap on it, they are just friggin tough. Love the videos 👍✌️

[@whatido3021]

Yes are townships are the same. Them fisher sure are tough! Thanks and good luck out there!

[@dawgsden5477]

When you go to the trade market, can you take us along? Are you able to take pics or video? You are off to a great start. I always enjoy the videos. I still have grass showing here in Minnesota, weird winter.

[@whatido3021]

I never go to the actually auction, I just drop my furs off where the are shipped to the auction. Sure is a strange winter! My best friends live in Minnesota.

[@gkhuntertrapper2738]

well done 😎👊

[@scottlindquist9107]

Awesome video, hope you’re feeling better soon!!! Thanks for the detailed description of your trapping areas. Does your quotes change every year?

[@grousehunter67]

At least your getting the cold weather even we have been getting the cold an 14" snow on the island nice sxs i guess you like the heated cab haha how about the rest

[@whatido3021]

It's a nice machine, especially this year with the lack of snow. Thanks for watching!

[@bullwinkled790]

Like your channel. nice warm ride ya got there. Unusual to have so little snow? curious to see if your wolf trail set catches. How is your rabbit population doing?

[@whatido3021]

This is very unusual to have this amount of snow, first year ever not trapping off the snowmobile at this time. Rabbit numbers are very good right now. Thanks for watching!

[@holgerawakens7784]

Always great to see you getting the lynx! Question - what would have made that "big drag mark" ?

[@mainemagic4968]

Love your trapping videos. Question...Do you ever drag quarter carcass behind your quad when checking ? I never did until one day a catch was all chewed up and a real mess...tied it to my sled and did some dragging on trail for scent...I also catch Green Crabs in the summer and freeze them for the snow days setting traps. We loose shore line to them all summer so it's my payback for them being an invasive. They are a favorite for the Striper when in the river. I mix ground crab with gelatin and make some baits for my lobster traps. It slowly dissolves and the critters come for it. Cheers.

[@whatido3021]

I have towed beavers behind the sleigh many times, sure adds to their curiosity! Great mixes you got going on!

[@scottnock5241]

Awesome brother!!!! Curious why you don’t set foot hold drags for those wolves? Interesting setup on the snare drag poles!!

[@whatido3021]

Oh leg holds are coming for them eventually, I spend most of December and part of January getting to know them before setting. We are required to check leg holds within 48 hours so I have to ensure I am able to that before setting.

[@ludwigderzanker9767]

Still the best man knowing to set up the line and to work the catch perfectly... Didn't the wolves driving away the coyotes or kill them or it's just too many coyotes at all ? Can you tell me in percentage the difference in the price for wolf and coyote? There is a rare book and bestseller here in Germany, now 103 years old, In Canadian wilderness from Max Otto. You're like him just doing the line and mercifully for the creation! God's Blessings from Northern Germany Ludwig.

[@whatido3021]

Thanks Ludwig! Coyotes will move out of the area when the wolves are around, but there sure are lots of them, for price difference between them, it varies tremendously, right now coyotes are only worth around 30$ for a good one, but they were 130$ just a few years ago. Wolves vary as well, gray ones are not as valuable then black ones, and it all depends on demand. Hope this helps.

[@ludwigderzanker9767]

@@whatido3021 It helps a lot, thanks for the answer! We were never a fur country cuz our winter is too warm . In Germany is now only living trap allowed and if you're not in time on your set up, alarmed by a app, you'll lose your hunting license . But now our fine liberal government gives some wolves free too shot after half a billion losses. See them here, in Russia and Poland but your lynxes are so beautiful! Wish you all the luck and be happy that you have a mother like your is! Ludwig

[@Justin-1025R]

Can you explain why you hang a cd in a tree?! Great video like usual!!

[@johac7637]

Do they let you have access to the cutlines of the past exploration, or are they restricting it like for game hunters ?

[@whatido3021]

We have access to them, and hunters do as well where I am.

[@ottercat8527]

👍

[@scottstorm2862]

You said you own a trap line ? What does that cost ? Is that evey uear you pay for it or a 1 time fee?

[@whatido3021]

In Alberta you don't technically own a trapline since it is public land, it's more like a lease where you are the only one entitled to trap that area, there is no money involved with the government, when traplines are bought, it's to purchase the assets from the previous trapper. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for watching!

[@javiergimenez9621]

Awesome video! Where did you learn about trapping?

[@whatido3021]

Thanks for watching! I started trapping in northern Ontario many years ago.

[@jasonsheefy6080]

Dang that’s a big area. Over 144,000 acres. Is there other people that trap the same area?

[@whatido3021]

Thanks Jason! I am the only trapper on those lines.

[@DougBruster]

what fur makes you the most money?

[@whatido3021]

Lynx were the best last year, my average was 163$ Wolves can also be good, but they vary greatly depending on color, quality and demand. Marten and Fisher prices are not doing as well.

[@ferengiprofiteer9145]

How many lions you allowed?

[@whatido3021]

None at all, they are not a fur bearing animal, they can be hunted but not trapped, I had to turn it in to fish and wildlife.

[@ferengiprofiteer9145]

@@whatido3021 Call me jaundiced, but I bet they didn't take it to the dump.

[@bigd3454]

👍👍

[@paulgazandlare1147]

How many lynx sets do you have out?

[@whatido3021]

I started off with 15 but I am down to 9 now.

[@Trapperrob]

No quotas on lynx anymore

[@garryderish2465]

Good day, I'm looking for a FISHER for taxidermy purposes , would you be interested in selling a unskined one ?

[@whatido3021]

I can only sell furs that are not tanned to a licensed fur buyer, but otherwise I would. Thanks Garry!

[@jeremymullen5378]

🔥👊🔥🔨🏍🪵⚙️

[@ellisritz7654]

you sell fur, looking for a Lynx.

[@whatido3021]

Selling furs to an individual is pretty tricky, if you're a Canadian citizen I can do so, but it has to be tanned before I can sell it unless you are a licensed fur buyer, If you are in the US, it is very complicated and costly due to the permits required. I sure wish it was easier! Thanks!

[@ellisritz7654]

Thanks for your reply

[@Trapperrob]

Or fisher and otter

[@whatido3021]

I have talked to the Fish and game, that is not official yet, those comments were removed from the ATA website just so you know, but it looks like it will be eventually. Thanks Rob!
