Hello, my pet turtle recently passed and I am wanting to have his shell processed/ preserved but don’t have the stomach to do it myself. I’ve contacted multiple taxidermy services and they won’t touch turtles. Would I possibly be able to hire/commission you to do this?

Best setting video ever!. This guy was clear and walked us through everything. I seen multiple other videos and nobody explained it like this. Every person would leave something out on the other videos even after watching multiple other ones i still didnt get all the information this guy had. Not just what he told us but how he delivered his instructions. Thank you for the most helpful video I've found on these traps.

Work with goats? Or anyone tried it ?

Why you sell the glands for what?

NO fountain of blood after decapitation???. Seems like an awful LOT of work to me!. Surely American supermarkets sell these lil mofo's already "sliced and diced"?????.

Did this last night and had an armadillo this morning. Thanks!

Nice work! My Coon usually has quite a bit of red color around the neck and head. Maybe one day mine will be as clean and white as yours.

Thanks for your evaluations.

Excellent. Thank you

Very beneficial video, thanks for creating and posting. This is extremely helpful.

Great video, thanks for creating and sharing.

I have a Z trap cage trap to try for catching coons. It seems like a very well made trap but I’ve only caught a possum so far. I have a HD dukes and each one has pros and cons when you do one vs the other

Awesome instructions 😎

Great tutorial

How do you clean the shell if no pressure washer

As long as I have had my stop loss traps I have never used the pin to hold the spring fired leg holder, because I never caught any animals that were strong enough to pull it out of the holder, and I never lost any animals, be it muskrat, squirrels, mink or anything else. Good video btw.

Thanks

The Full Metal Jacket is much like Corroseal Rust Converter for vehicle frames. Let traps get a coat of surface rust and dip. Comes out Black and prevents further rust. Works really well.

Great illustration , especially showing how those safety catches come loose.

Nooo! Why would you cut off the feet... You can't taxidermy it if you cut off the feet.

What trap are you using there?

I have heard it said to be a beaver trapper.you must have a size four hat and a size fifty four chest 🤔😁✌️

Why not compare to the Duke 650 Pro?

smart man here! same way i got my boat and a truck! sold my truck and got a boat cant wait to go fishing just waiting for the boat to sell so i can buy a truck to pull it.

Well done! Thanks for the video!

Think I will stick with my knives don't think my well could handle all that But good video ✌️

I’ve turned a few hides but I’ve never worked this hard before. I’ll stick to the way I turn the hides this seems like it takes way to long and time consuming

Great video im wanting to start getting into trapping soon

Yeah… I can see somebody cracking open a jar of Hiawatha Valley right now and seeing and seeing how many colors they turn 🤢🤢

My first time trapping what kind of license I need to sale furs? Love the videos

FOUR PAWS

Thanks so much for this video, I couldn’t figure out how to set my bridger stoploss. Have a good one!

any specific rounds you would recommend? as someone who has done plenty of hunting with a .22 i have noticed sub sonic’s do significantly less damage on the entry and exit, and in further research have found sub 1000 FPS rounds and even powder less rounds. just wanted a professionals opinion

What is it that you are doing when you set the trap and the pan is sloped up and you bend it down and it levels out and clicks

Cut a broom in half. Keeps ya from getting caught brushing dirt off the pan. Coming from a guy who has been caught a lot lol 💪 good video

Good job buddy

A piece of about 3/8" braided rope with a loop big enough to freely put your booted foot into makes a great trap setter. I especially like the way a slight reduction in pressure on the rope eases the spring into the safety catch. Just as I close the jaws but before I set the trigger I put the safety catch on. Setting the trigger always slightly releases the two spring safeties.

New subscriber, I collected a dozen of double spring jobs.. no name but I'll research it

How are you doing?

Hey buddy thanks for the advice We have some coons running around here in Paducah Ky We are kinda in the city and I know they raid the dumpsters in the subsidized housing on the next street so Im thinking trash would be better in our case, what you think bro?

I have biggest setter and at 76 years old ? Just to powerful

Bought new Dukes 330 and these springs don’t have to be this powerful

What's the thickness on them fender washers?

Armadillo is good eating I've been eating them for years. The fat on them makes them greasy cooking if you don't get it off but it doesn't affect the taste. I baked mine and it's just like eating pork.

Some comments from NZ I note your shock spring was way too heavy! Too heavy to work correctly. Suggest going to a much lighter spring & you might be happier about using them! Ones we use are very cheap & fast to replace & long lasting, I would not leghold trap today without at least 2 swivels on my 11 inch chains & at least one chain spring. Our trapping Ass. here recently had a spring manufacturer run out a batch of 10,000 springs to get costs down super low & with an easy to fit NZ trapping research designed spring. New Zealand does not have the manufacturing engineering base of the USA. If I'm going about a trap line..... with 2 to 3 hundred traps on it one does occasionally lose a chain spring its only a minutes to repair or replace...... just a suggestion "lighter spring!

Was all that really worth it?? You must be poor

Nice you could just bend the ends so it won’t slide off.

Nope for me on man handling them. I got both hands Caught in one why back in Mountain. Try driving 4 wheeler with hands that hurt like hell

Dumps
