Watching a guy pull beaver like this…reminded me of college.

[@RonaldGervais]

Keep up the the great videos and info very helpful thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@outofthewoodyard]

Thanks for watching!

Great harvest👍👍👍

[@Keystonetrapper]

Just found your channel. Great footage and love your area!! Great job, looking forward to many more videos!

[@outofthewoodyard]

More to come! Thanks!

[@tomriblett2979]

I use the Number 3 Bridgers for coyotes and bobcats here in Nebraska. Nice haul guys...

[@outofthewoodyard]

Yup, all around good trap, will catch anything and nice price!

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Great video and great job on the line! Thank you for sharing my friends! I always look forward to your videos!

[@outofthewoodyard]

Thanks for watching!

[@John-ls6hz]

Good video..I had to put a cap on my truck to keep the bears out of the box while checking other traps

[@outofthewoodyard]

Ha!!! Yup, everything like the beaver!

[@tmack2090]

Nice mess of beavers for a days work. Enjoy the video Chris

[@outofthewoodyard]

Yup, it was a good day on the trap line!

[@luckytrapper7656]

I use the bridger dogless #3. Much easier to set especially when your fingers get cold and when wearing gauntlet gloves. I also use the Belisle 330 body trap. A bit expensive but the Jaws close all the way. Duke is now making a 330 that is like the Belisle but less expensive. I'm going to give it a try.

[@outofthewoodyard]

Yup, I am going to get some of the Bridger #3 dogless they look awesome!

[@Tubefish07]

Dream of the day of having a beaver hat, a beaver coat and a Stutz Bearcat!

[@outofthewoodyard]

HA! Awesome!

[@andystampfli9127]

33:30 you had a frog hop by the screen. Wow, i don't remember ever seeing a frog breaver trapping. Usually there's still enough winter hanging on that your not hot either.

[@outofthewoodyard]

Yup, it happens here later in the season.

[@andystampfli9127]

@@outofthewoodyard the southern zone closes too early for frogs... Most years. Last year we were ice out end of February

[@jakestockett3839]

What’s beaver lure do you use?

[@outofthewoodyard]

We make it ourselves....one part ground castors one part mineral oil.... blended.

[@douglaskampfer2028]

Question ❓❓❓❓, what do you do with all the meat of the beaver you catch????.

[@outofthewoodyard]

We eat some, most of it gets fed to our dads dog and a lot also goes to the fur buyer who uses it to feed to his other critters.

[@cv1919]

OMG You killed Woody He was my second favorite Beaver

[@outofthewoodyard]

Yup!

[@Zippy1wood.]

Just curious the tangle of trees in water don’t seemed touched by the beaver I take it they don’t like them?

[@outofthewoodyard]

Tag alders, they will eat them put the aspen/poplar is #1

[@katherinedickinson7745]

Is it easy to fix holes in the gloves?

[@outofthewoodyard]

Yup, with Aqua seal.

[@katherinedickinson7745]

Thanks, I will have to try it.

[@rickthelian2215]

Nice beavers & Muskrats 😊

[@outofthewoodyard]

Thanks!!

Nice job

[@outofthewoodyard]

Thanks!

[@andystampfli9127]

Saw a news article about a 19year old "under investigation" for shooting a wolf in St Germaine on the northern duck opener. The article said he was with a 13 and a 14 year old and the wolf was shot at 5 yards. Sounds like a young man forced to make a very adult decision with 2kids. And the only thing he did wrong was he forgot the shovel and the next step...

[@outofthewoodyard]

Yup!

[@PAtrappingNoutdoors]

I never knew beavers could fly

[@outofthewoodyard]

Yup, like geese!

[@jimw76]

You guys need to use drowning rods. Quick, light and fast

[@outofthewoodyard]

We have a couple dozen and we do use them IF there is enough water close to the bank AND IF we have a bottom that is not solid rocks like most of the creeks we trap.

[@jimw76]

@@outofthewoodyard I have the same as you guys rocky bottoms. If they’re to rocky I go to rebar. Your tie plate set up is slick to.

[@andystampfli9127]

Chris and Ken trap enough beaver every year I'm sure they have tried about every tip and trick. They've taken all of the short cuts that don't cost them animals and if you still want to trap it's still going to be work. I've tried sandbags, rods, bricks they all worked in the right place but a 330 works almost everywhere with the least amount of weight to bring in.

[@kennethcarlson8713]

You know what you're talking about​@@andystampfli9127

[@paulvoss3247]

Nice catch and a memorable day. In the event of an incidental catch & you need to turn it over to the WDNR, do they ask or prefer it skinned or just whole/carcass? Thanks for sharing the video and experience.

[@roncaron-l1r]

Hi Chris good video nice Beavers @ Muskrats ( Ty Ron

[@outofthewoodyard]

Thanks!!!!!!

[@woolval52]

Wow!! Are beavers considered a pest? Not complaining, just trying to get educated. LOL, there sure doesn't seem to be a shortage of them! Do you eat them, use the furs, feed them to all those barn cats, stuff them all for a yard display? I live in Ocala, Florida, no beavers near me. Lately, just hurricanes...

[@andystampfli9127]

Beaver can be pests but they are a natural, native species that needs to be managed before things like culverts dams and levees give out taking our roads, farms, and other infrastructure with them. Example is hurricane Katrina. The levees held but gave out at the peak of the flooding. Because the nutria dens in the levees make a air pocket under water. Fill the bank up and the air wants out. It's just a matter of time. Beaver creature their own dams. They are the only other animal on earth that can change the environment to suit it's needs. You might have a nice field next to a creek that is a pond in a matter of days. Corn, beans ,cattle, grass... Can't be submerged very long before the roots or hooves rot away. Trapping was the start to settling and developing this continent. Beaver hats were the biggest push but were really just one part of the overall industry. The Hudson Bay company just went out of business in 2021. It was the largest fur market in and through North America for over 300 years.

[@andystampfli9127]

Also the castors ( a gland in the beaver) is used in expensive perfumes and makeup. Tails were an oil source but having tried them bear oil was better and lard beats both.

[@adrianwhitehead6238]

@@andystampfli9127also vanilla comes from the castor

[@andystampfli9127]

@@adrianwhitehead6238 I had a big long thing of why we beaver trap on here ... Either KZbin or Chris took it down. Long story short yes they are a problem if not properly managed. Vanilla... And I thought it being in lipstick was disgusting.

[@larryvankirk7423]

Nice video/check Chris. One Toyota, two Toyota kind of day makes sense to me. If you want to get hung in a tree when you die, just take a nap in mountain lion territory.

[@outofthewoodyard]

Ha! Thanks for watching Larry!

[@tommurphy6972]

Have you tried the new duke 850, I do take one set of spring off, but really like them

[@outofthewoodyard]

I will check them out!

[@spacemanspif]

What was that incidental catch? You said "that's not good". Was it an otter?

[@outofthewoodyard]

Yup, we turned in a bunch that we could not keep, there are LOT'S of otter.

Is this a self proclaimed best beaver trapping video? I know of a guy that can catch more, and does it on his own. I just don't figure how you can call this the best.

[@outofthewoodyard]

It was my best, does he have a channel??
