Well said!

Very good point but I love otters 😭

There's a difference between killing to kill or killing to hunt. Humans have grocery stores for food yet most still go and hunt for no reason! I would understand if you lived in a tribe and had to kill to survive but I guarantee that you don't.

Amen brother!

Braxton McGuire not everyone lives near a grocery store. Most people trap because they like being outdoors and they sell fur to make money

220 is the largest I can legally use on land here. I prefer a 280 or a 330 for them in the water though. And thanks for watching =)

I agree

Thanks pal I really enjoyed making these vids we had perfect weather for trapping these areas for over a week and it really paid off. thanks again for the kind words =)

330 MaNiaC what brand 220 u using ?

Victors

330 MaNiaC strong springs ? stronger than a duke ?

330 MaNiaC I have suspicion that there might be otters on my trap line...but a good portion of the wetland is not walkable...it's marshy. There's a beaver lodge in there...

I found an otter skeleton in a culvert in Sacramento despite me having the experience to know exactly what an otter skull was, none of the locals believed me. “There’s no otters around here”! “And certainly not in the storm drain”!

Little small. nothing smaller than a 220

I agree

bruh it makes me so mad hunting otters because they just so Beautiful. should be some laws preventing it

The fact you use words like "Bruh" make me super mad. Why isn't there laws against that?

David Enstad No I actually just shoved it into the ground. it was a bad idea to do it that way in hind sight lol

I need to get more conibears and start using them to their potential... You'd think I'd have a ton of traps for being a dealer. lol

Thanks Wallace! Got a giant male in this set =)

They will have a certain spot on the shoreline someplace that they go to the bathroom on. Look.for that

Thanks for watching =)

Thanks Pal i'm really glad you enjoy my Vids I love making them.

Thank you!

M Miles These were all blind sets. Thanks!

Charles Christenbury I believe the jaw spread on a 220 is 8 inches and a 160 is 7.

Thanks pal me also!

Kaleb Hill Hi pal thanks for the kind words. I order most of my stuff cumberlands trap supply and Minnesota trapline products.

muskrat are another very easy animal to target. but yes all those would be good starter critters. even Beaver aren't to bad to catch during the fall in open water.

Not sure if you have raccoon in Alaska or now, but they are by far the easier animal I've ever trapped. My kids are even able to catch them without me.

Thanks Browder!

Thanks!

that is an albino mink that I caught

Yep

That’s awesome! Nice work. An albino mink is a dream. I want an albino mink and muskrat mounted in a fight scene on drift wood. Maybe one day

You are allowed to set 220s on land as long as you are on private property. They are not allowed on public areas.

Thats good to know!!!!!

+Jordan “Sasquatch” Schulte Yup I leave mine like that. I want rats to get around the trigger.

+Chuck Mathes i got mine with some used 220s i bought.

Keep posting. Love you video's

Chuck Mathes thanks!!

Thanks RVZ!!

Keith Spell Hey Kieth I will shoot a video this fall on how to skin an otter out. Unfortunately I no longer have someplace to flesh one though. Thanks for watching pal!!

Bows Only Thank-you!

Nice catch pal!! We only have a 4 otter limit here =(

hey look at the bright side you get alot more beaver than i do. i only got 13 last year and i trap them to eat them lol. But every state has there limits, i think mine is grey/red fox. i just had to comment my catch cuz man i cant stand people that want to down on people who take animals through trapping when theirs noting wrong with our job

Limit of what?? There are 4 species here. Otter the limit is 4 in minnesota. mink, beaver and muskrat there is no limit

evan langlinais down south there quite a few states with no otter limit. Mississippi is one of them

evan langlinais well fuck your just a regular bill Tyler now huh the otters are so thick ya don't trap em just club em on the bank. I'm just blowin ya shit man i'm a fourth gen trapper from the wabash river they just brought otters back on the list but one per year. Oh and good luck this year but you probably won't need it. Wow 42 hell of deal

Tennessee Trapper I just use conibears mostly but also use an occasional foot hold on a drowner

oh ok

G G Dukes are not bad traps they work very well. only issue I ever see is with the larger conibear like 330s. sometimes when you catch Big Beaver the jaw will bend. but they are a great trip for the price

330 MaNiaC Thanks for the info and videos. I appreciate it.

G G you are welcome and good luck trapping this season

G G fixcoilsprin.gtrapp

Central. detroit lakes

population control and you sell them

Fur.

gary weimer I caught 3 of them but not in crossovers

The trail is a much better pinch point

@@330Maniac Really, I wouldnt have thought that. Thanks for the reply. I enjoy your videos.

@@DavidS-xg7il thanks for watching!

Me too. They are Beautiful Creatures but they also need their population controlled

They are ruthless killers.

Jordan Anderson same lol

No you can't. Otter are full of a type of tapeworm

fur.

lmfao

What? Otter trapping? No certainty not. We have seasons and limits for them

No

I knew you were a tree huggers before I even read your comment. Take your time and enjoy all my trapping videos 🤣

Sure. When they stop killing all the fish in my lake 🤷‍♂️

No. Its called pure happiness. Trapping is one of my true passions

330 MaNiaC Sorry to hear that.

Eric Kelley, you have no idea what you're talking about, if you don't like the video go watch something else. Trapping is a way of life for a lot of us and we love to do it. You don't realize how important it is. 330 maniac keep up the good work brother!

George Hess III What are you, a fur trapper from the 1600s in Canada? Get over yourself, trapping animals isn’t a way of life anymore. The majority of trapped animals that are trapped for their fur isn’t even remotely worth a fraction of what it used to be even 15 years ago. Nice try!

George Hess III Hahahaha... nice. Oh my.... 👍

It sure helps to catch stuff if you're good

Go watch food inc then come back. This is perfectly fine.

Lena London if it makes you upset don't watch it

you do realize what they do to cows is a lot worse running them in the shoot, taking a hammer to their head, and etc. yet you still eat it. Outdoors is a way of living.

Otters are for fur, not meat.

I love trapping them. They are very destructive to fish populations when in abundance like they are around here.

Killing people is the purest evil.

Yeah great idea good luck bud

Only as vegetarian are you entitled to make such a comment, but you are not, stinky hypocrite!

No it was all the right ones for sure

Otters are ruthless killers.

Your a shmuck

No shame here. Couldn't be any happier with my outdoor lifestyle

@@330Maniac hey dude you kill weak animals for your spritali pleasure.thinking about it and your self.you can live happy and have a eternal happiness.strong people helps to weaken.remeber this

@@Greenfalcons55 Shame on the Pentagon beasts that kill much weaker peoples in their homeland!

@@Greenfalcons55 your a idiot

Max Hursh That couldn't be any farther from the truth. If that were true I wouldn't have set a trap the last 3 years because pelts aren't worth a dime. It costs more money to trap now days than a person can make.

Oogway Trapping takes 10x more skill than hunting. You can shoot a deer from 300 yards with a gun but with trapping you gotta make something step on one spot thats 2" by 2" wide. How bout dat?

Do I ever mentioned skill? Or guns? Real man take a knife and/or self-made spear and go out to wilderness. Tell me about skills here.

Oogway so you're full of shit then lol

Well, disappointed but not surprised. I did not expect any smart answer from you. If you want take something from nature do it in the way of nature, not in a parasitic way. Otherwise you are just like most of human kind - a parasite to the nature. If you want to control numbers of otters, hunt down poachers that kill their natural enemies. For now it is just an excuse to feel superior against defenseless animals. Pure cowardice.

Oogway Lol ok. I guess i did not know that you were the king of decisions on this earth. So if you yourself just decided it's cowardly it makes it true? Yeah thats not how it works sorry. I love trapping and love teaching thousands of people how to do it. Its the most effective way to manage animal populations bar none. So its about being the most effective to me. And I couldn't be more proud of what I do regardless of what you have to say. You aren't gonna affect me one bit. I'll still be out this winter catching hundreds if not thousands of critter. And I'll still be making trapping videos teaching more and more people how to do it. And there really isn't one thing you can do about it. Literally not one single thing.

Sumi.... I'm sorry but we don't have jungles here in Minnesota. Get educated please on this subject

You have to learn so many things form the many countries about jungle if you have a problem we have a lot of jungle
