Mike Smith, hey man thanks for the comment. I love these success stories.

Thank you very much! Thanks for watching!

trapsetting101 Awesome. Good know. Thanks and have a great evening!

First thanks for the input and for watching. I will tell you those 660s are a real game changer not only for otters but for trap shy beaver. I've found my refusals dropped to almost none when I started using the 660s over the 330s. I get better suitcased beavers with the 660s as well as less refusals from the exceptionally large ones. We make our own using 5/16 rod, so the cost factor isn't so bad, the ones you saw in the video I had less than 15 bucks each tied up in them cost wise. We're both buying a dozen 330s to make into just 660s for the next season.

I didn't video tape the entire setup just for the sole factor of how long it took to upload what we had, but we had roughly 2 miles of this creek set up and we produced 8 otters in 2 weeks out of that general area.

We're in central Missouri. I'd rather not get any more specific than that for self preservation reasons. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching man! I used to work in the frozen food industry and handled food at temperatures below 0, so I don't even notice it anymore. My hands have gotten pretty tough.

thanks for the feedback!

I'm not mad or anything I just was wondering.

decent surface rust is plenty

Thanks for the input. I appreciate you watching.

No sir. I'm not against it, I just never have.

@@trapsetting101 where are you located?

Brad Neumann I do not sell them. I costs me roughly $2 to make those the way I do. There's a video on my channel that shows how to do it.

Very good then thank you! Love the video clips! Don't worry about the anti hunter they can such donkey balls!

Я использую приманку для выдры Данлэпа на своих наживках. Тем не менее, вы заметите, что я не использую много наживок для выдр.

You're welcome to your opinion. They were once endangered here in Mo also, but thanks to trappers they have been reintroduced and now are thriving to the point that they're a nuisance.

Jochem Witteveen not the same species of otter, north american river otters are plentiful in many parts of the united states to the point they need to be trapped to manage their population so that they stay cute and cuddly to the public and not a serious nuisance. same concept with most furbearing animals in north america. trapping also prevents serious disease outbreaks since when population densities become too high diseases such as distemper or rabies they can turn into epidemics wiping out local populations of animals

+Gavin Stedman Here in Alabama otter have become a terrible nuisance to fish pond owners. I get besieged annually by requests from pond/lake owners to help get rid of the otters. Otters have decimated the fish population in some lakes as to be almost nonexistent.

I wish I had your problem, otter are making a comeback in western upstate ny, they are doing great in the Adirondacks, we have the population for a trapping season but it will be probably another decade before there will be a season for them outside of the Adirondacks

Sounds like yall need some trappers to hit the rats hard up there.

Andrewsarchus Naturelover Primitive, perhaps. Barbaric, absolutely not! modern traps have come a long ways. the pelt serves the same purpose it always has. garments, etc... I'm able to take the surplus populations and bring money back to the American economy.

It's unfair that humans keep exploiting animal populations as human numbers keep growing and growing. The pelt is only worn by fashion snobs.

Andrewsarchus Naturelover fur is a renewable resource that, if managed properly, will be here until the end of days. No one is "exploiting" animal populations. We're simply managing a natural resource, and making use of the animal to the vest of our abilities. The government heavily regulates our natural resources to ensure over harvest doesn't happen.

I bet you buy all your food at the store you lazy whiny little bitch. I don't understand why snowflakes like you always have something to say over the internet about shit they know nothing about.

That's a pretty uneducated thing to say. Why don't you explain to me why it's wrong? Do you think that in this day and age we should just let animals overpopulate?

I'm curious to know how much time you spend outdoors? I'm out here every day and the wildlife in Mo is thriving. In fact here trappers are the ones to thank for the presence of otters. We're the ones who caught them and relocated them here in this area. They now thrive to the point of being a nuisance. They're seen often in our lakes, streams and rivers. They clean the fish out of farm ponds. Next time educate yourself a little before making an ignorant statement such as "there is such little wildlife left".

john dover where do you live, wildlife is everywhere and most of it is right under your nose, you may not always see it because a lot of animals are nocturnal or just generally shy or sneaky, but where i live in upstate ny our wildlife is expanding rapidly, we just expanded the trapping area in ny for bobcat because they are doing so well, plans are in place for expanding fisher trapping in the next year or so, black bear hunting has expanded because their population is doing really good. otters were trapped during the 90's from the adirondacks with foothold traps and cage traps and released in western ny and are booming and we will probably expand the otter season into western ny within the next ten years. furbearing animals are a resource that trappers will fight to protect and conserve so that they will always be here

because their fur is soft and warm.

in all honestly, they're just like every other animal. their populations have to be controlled. these guys are really hard on the fish populations, especially in small rivers like this.

Do ISIS members trap and wear human skins?
