Incredible! Where to buy berry-picking rake in Finland? I didn't find it in stores.

Great video. Thanks for the idea. Is there a washer under the end stop. Im going to be ordering the parts

Thank you for sharing my friend! We don't have fisher in Illinois would you like to sell one so I can tan ir myself for my mancave?

Great tips! I met you when you did a mink handling demo in Wisconsin many years ago. When you have time you should do a video on mink. Thanks

rolled 2 gallons twice in less than 5 minutes !! I used 1/4 hardware wire , CRAZY clean and fast !

Where can one purchase these?

I love this… looks very user friendly and organized! I just lost a 330 cause a bear grabbed it.. now I was cheap on the wire length so I was kind of asking for it but this method here looks great!

Great info! Thank you for sharing my friend!

Thorough and clear.....as usual, Thank you. Been using the clips a few years now, but have always been clipping them on a spring ( near the coil) , your set up makes more sense.

Thanks Jim ... another very informative video !

Jim is right I’ve been using the same method for many years now you don’t need wire you don’t need pliers very quick method fast easy simple . Good job Jim

Little slack on the nails!

Hi! Loved the video it was informative and easy to follow. Do you tan it after it’s done drying and if so what is your process? And if not, why? How does it stay preserved? Sorry for all the questions Im new to harvesting fur and have a fisher id like to dry using your board method but im concerned about how soft it will be after drying.

This year here in michigan a dozen leaches are $7.99 .....thats why im watchinh this video ,I wont pay that , or 6 bucks for crawlers. Prices have gottten crazy . I like to use the little leaches for bluegill and the big ones for smallmouth and brown trout .... Thanks for the video

Thanks Jim for the tips,friend of Toby here

love your videos

I like that table with the lift up top to hold the feet. Sometime a video on it would be great. Thanks for sharing

Hi JIm, do you wash them before boarding?

So interesting that you leave flesh on mink a no-no in northern Alberta lots of fat under the saddle In my section. Good to see price is finally starting to rise

Here in SE Yukon, nearly all juvenile female marten will make the large size when put on male board- a prime example of Bergmans Law. Biggest marten occur at higher elevation-3,000-3500'. Why, I have yet to determine.

Good video Jim the worst thing I see in marten trappers is ground sets and handling the trapped animal from trap location to skinning shed. Mouse chews 80 % discount to select. If I can’t catch a marten hanging from a pole and then wrapped up in a fur bag and moving blanket on its way to the fur shed better to let it live and breed

Awesome info sir

Thanks for sharing Jim Miigwech

Good explanation Jim. I always tell my students. You are spending money until you catch the animal. Now how you handle it can either make you money or lose you money. It’s all in presentation and primeness of the pelt.

As per usual another great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great to see you post more videos its been a while, this is one of my favorite channels I learn so much, thank you!

Still have fur for ya Jim. Froze 3 beaver in ball form, once I get those stretched, I’ll text ya, if you’re still buying. 👍✌️

Awesome Jim, always great information!

What do you mean by the sawdust in the drum and I missing a step skinned to fleshing but I'm having issues

Great educational vid helps a lot.

Jim, I'm in Michigan, do you put yours in sawdust before you flesh all you hides out,, or just to dry them and then freeze with the sawdust.? Fill me in please , great video and presentation 👍👍👍👍

One tip for anyone drumming fur, for really greasy animals like coon, beaver or bear capes , we always added mineral spirits to our sawdust . It's like night and day how well it cleans that dirt grease crap out of the fur and leaves it soft silky and clean. Obviously before fleshing.

Ya great video, good idea with the box construction, will copy this. Thanks I subscribed and thumbs up...

Where can you get the aluminum to build those traps?

What thickness boards do you prefer and what do you use instead of a sharpie to make your pattern? Great video.

Isn't a Leech a blood sucker to?

Thanks for the demo Jim. I used to frost scrape after learning from a trapper from Hearst. I agree, the leather side is much better looking but I thought FHA has requested that beavers not be frost scraped anymore? That is why I have not done it in years. One thing I did, was a simple A frame and would sit the beaver board about belt height on the cross piece to not have to bend down. My legs could work in between the A frame legs. Worked really well. I just rest the board against the wall. The scrapings are awesome for marten bait. I would put them in plastic milk bags. Kept the bait nice an clean. At the set, I just slice the bag open and squeeze into the box. Gloves don't touch the bait. All your other tips, are 100% on the money, especially not going sideways!! You only do that once or twice. :) Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Always learn something from them.

Great stuff here I really enjoy this

Very educational! Couple of questions: 1). How heavy a Swivel do you use? 2) You don’t leave the triggers cocked? Set them after snare is set up? Roughly how many wolves do you catch per season? 3) use same weight of wire for coyotes? B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

best fisher demo! Thanks Jim

Make it look so easy!! thanks!!

very helpful for putting up my first marten, thank you

I feel you! We just WASTE things :( I have this saw, dies on me when worked to warm and let idle. Seems to flood. I'll watch video til the end

I like the design and functionality Jim. Wanting to switch out my plastic boxes which do work well. Curious, do the squirrels not eat the bait? I wonder about a screen in the back and using another screen with compression fit to protect bait?

Nice idea drilling tree for snare support I have rebar with wire attached for snare support tap rebar down and good to go I have a lot made up through the summer carry them in a bucket when go to set a snare I grab a rebar with wire for a support

Should you put them in plastic trash bags when freezing?

I got my first fisher cat this morning and this video is perfect, thank you. Also, milk in a bag? That tidbit was almost as interesting as the stuff I actually needed to know today, skinning, fleshing and milk bags. Good stuff bud!

Nice skinning job. When I was a teenager (1970s) my brother and I met an old trapper with a bum leg and he smoked a pipe. We would stop by his place to watch him skin out the beaver, coons, skunks and fox fox ect. He told us to keep an eye out for road kill and pick it up and bring it to him to process. Some were quite ripe but if the pelt was good enough he would get to work. I found the process very interesting.

Nice video going to add some float sets to the arsenal next spring!
