In this fourth installment of my 2022/2023 trapping season I begin to have some luck harvesting fur. Thank you to everyone who watches!

Nice video, we'll be back on the line soon. You are eating squirrel, lynx backstraps are fantastic.

I'd love a more in depth look at how the snares work / traps work. Where you get them (or if you make them, how do you make them?), how you prep them, set them, take them down, store them, etc. or if you know of other channels that have that already I'm happy to check them out also! Love everything that you're putting out there so far!

First trapper I've seen on KZfaq purposely going for squirrels. Ever. And I've seen a ton of trapping videos through the years. Cool.

I think people should make a bigger deal out of squirrels because they are a missed opportunity for sure I can feed a family indefinitely

Good ethical catches with quick kills. Glad you guys broke the dry spell, seems like the cold temps got things moving. We were in the 60's F last week and I'd like some colder weather for the month. Keep the videos coming. Hope you get to mix up the menu some with a partridge or something. Cheers.

Do you sell the fur from those animals . They don't put up a fight because it's too cold to put one up. They lay down to think about it and fall asleep and just don't wake up. Bad for them but good for you. It's nice to see you and your dad at the cabin together. How many beavers do you usually trap in one season.Thanksvfor sharing your video. I wish you a great year. Stay safe .
@KuskWild Жыл бұрын
We send most of the fur to a fur auction. We usually keep a few pelts for personal use. In regards to beaver trapping it really depends. Some years we trap problem beavers for land owners. On average I'd say we trap maybe 6-12 beaver per year. I appreciate you tuning in. Take care!
@bikeomatic800510 ай бұрын
I get it from the skill point of view and if living so remotely you need to rely on the nature but it feels bit unnecessary to be honest. Lynx is such a graceful animal and pity to see it killed in such number. But different country, different customs and values.

Try preseting your traps wire around dog and jaw. Saves time safer can carry better flatter. Snip wire and set. Get your hand caught in 1 cold fingers can ruin a season

How much do squirrels bring?
@KuskWild Жыл бұрын
I think these days they average around $2. High end might be around $5. There's not much money in fur these days, sadly. We don't trap for the money though, we trap to play our role in the conservation of the resource. Thanks for watching!

Are squirrels the only edible animals that you trap? If bait is frozen how can it attract prey?
@KuskWild Жыл бұрын
I trap rabbits too. You'll be seeing that on the channel soon. Even though the bait is frozen it still has smell to it. Plus once the crows and ravens find it the coyotes are drawn in from their calls. Thanks for watching!
