@steppnwolf76109 Check out TheWildNorth YouTube channel he has some sweet videos on trapping beaver under the ice as well as on land sets. Ryan has a good channel but TheWildNorth has some good how to vids...check it out
Question...I am a coyote man but I have a land owner that is going to let me trap the yotes only if I catch the beaver first. Today I bought a few 330 conibears and I have figured out how to set them about where to set them but there is very little info concerning how to anchor them.. Not sure about that. As I said..i am a coyote trapper and know little about beaver...HELP
@steppnwolf76109 Use any wire or cable that is strong enough to hold a large beaver and give them a few extra feet to let them get into the water. It gets the beaver into deeper water away from birds and coyotes. Tie the wire to a nearby tree or use a stake. Just make sure you use some form of tie, otherwise you WILL lose traps and beaver.
@5911ryan I gotcha. sounds like If I use the air craft cable my coyote snares are made of I'll be ok. thanks bro many thanks. I hope I can learn a little about trapping beaver. I may love it as much as trapping coyotes!
@steppnwolf76109 theres lots of info on how to ancor them have you thought about doing it like a smaller 1 but just scale it up...?like wiring it off to a tree or a large rock or pole hammered into the ground theres about 200+ vids here on you tube showig you how to differnt setups just pay attention and you will learn
@5911ryan no problem i seen the other vidieo of you will all your certs thats was a good idea but just remeber youll always have those anti that will bitch and moan even if you have 30+ years experience and hold degrees out the ass all there worried about is sticking there nose in other peoples legal business these are thre same dip shits that make up rules in the citie like not being able to hang/dry your laundry out side because it dosnt look good.like in fort mcmurray i did anyway
@nitroexpress700 Very true. There's a wise saying...Arguing with someone who lost the ability to reason is like giving medicine to a patient after he is dead. That pretty much sums up trying to talk to anti fur people
@5911ryan i have a similar saying... talking to a anti is like being 1 of the girls in 2 girls 1 cup you only end up with shity taste in your mouth and when ever they do open there mouths nothing but spew comes out. or another 1 its like farting into the wind you only end up with shit on your face sorry couldnt resist after the last joke .....shitty humour isnt it...
Before any more comments are made on this video, please watch 'I have a few diplomas' on my channel. Trapping, when done correctly, is THE most humane way for animals to be harvested. Anybody thinking that animals don't die in nature are living in a fairy tale. Disease, starvation and predation are NOT humane ways to die. And to those of you who think that trappers are going to kill everything, look back at the past 300+ years. Trapping has always been around and we have MORE animals than ever
Since I am ranting here, one more thing. I would challenge any of these antitrapping fools to go through the work of preparing traps, scouting locations, talking to landowners, the actual setting of traps, and the preparation of furs for the market just to make a few dollars in something you love doing. No one respects nature more than a trapper, and no licensed trapper sets traps to catch dogs or nontarget animals. From my experience, that is the work of kids or antitrappers making a case.
The other side of the equation is the "humane aspect". From your demonstration you show that the beaver became dead in a few short minutes. How long for a deer to die from a gunshot? How long for a cow to die at the slaughterhouse? The argument goes on and on, but the fact is that conibears set correctly are just about as humane as you can get. What is really boils down to is some people in the world want the right to control the life of others, regardless of the cost to livihoods or income
Nice response to that fella, Ryan. Regardless of what he thinks, the only logical way to remove some beavers is by trapping. In my country, you cannot logically just live trap beavers and move them somewhere else. Like you said, they are very territorital and will not tolerate new beavers. Besides, that costs money. Who pays for it? Much cheaper to let private individuals do it and maybe make a few bucks in the process.
Thanks for the upload. I had previously imagined the horror but was wanting to see some actual footage of murder by trapping. Also, that's some pretty f*cked up logic at the end. Just because the beaver might be subject to bad and perhaps even deadly winters does not mean it is humane to trap it. The humane thing to do would be to provide the beaver with the necessary resources to survive the winter or relocate the beaver and its family to a safer location...
@bigb47 Sure thing, you come here and build him a house and gather enough food to last the winter in a week before freeze up. Oh yeah, good luck finding a pond that doesn't already have beavers in it. They will not tolerate any other beavers in their area and fight aggresively to defend their area. And good luck relocating the hundreds that might have 'bad or perhaps deadly winters'. Also. maybe we should relocate all the mice that might get cold or eaten by all the predators too.
@bigb47 lol you sir are fucking ignorant go back to school and learn somthing about our natural habitat befor coming in here iv seen you posting on at least 20-30 different hunting vids fuck right off i know your a anti hunting/trapping ass hat that just trolls hunting vids because you have nothing better to do. i dont go to peta sites and fuck with there shit this has been going on since we have invented tools dont like it hang yourself and save us all some air,and food.
@bigb47 You are obviously somebody with no understanding of rodent management Perhaps after you save all the beavers you could then set up a charity for all the farmers who's crop land gets flooded when they leave the ponds in the spring run off and plug off culverts, ditches, rivers, creeks, or anywhere else water moves. Might be a good idea to invest in wood stoves too, there will be quite a lot of dead trees knocked over Good for firewood, they'll be delimbed already so easier for u
@bigb47 to deal with. Then when the predator population sky rockets you could figure out a way to manage them too. Console your neighbours who's dogs are being chewed up by coyotes, offer to pay their insurance deductable when they're running foxes over on the highway. Or maybe you could just do a little research before suggest we build houses for beavers...and cut down trees for them...
@bigb47 Provide or Relocate program huh? Go ahead, let us know how that works out for you. Not only beaver...but EVERY ANIMAL you're trying to "SAVE." You can hug them, kiss them, call them cute fuzzy names, pamper and protect them from life but all you're doing is interfering with the natural order of things. We will continue to do what man has been doing for MILLENIA to balance nature and contribute to the circle of life.
great vid but idont think thay take in water due to a 330 u can not take on water if u cant expand the lungs the beavers i get the 330 has to be under water a i get them right behind the front shoulders stopping them to inhale just my vew
Wow! What are the odds that you would be there, with a camera, at the same exact time the beaver found your set?!?! Great video. I'm going to forward this on to some of my trapping buddies. :)
great video i acquired a beaver on night my buddy and i were in a boat. the beaver was around 3 ft. long and weighed 85 pounds. he got mad and tried to climb in the boat with us, 15rounds out of a 22 rifle he let go of the boat when the beaver got to the bank he got a 12 gauge slug in the back bone. that finally killed the beaver. butchered the beaver took all the fat off. boiled it and the BBQed it. tasted pretty darn good.
To those of you arguing about whether or the beaver will die faster in water, you're both wrong. Its virtually impossible for beaver, otter, or muskrat to drown (not sure about mink). In a drowning set they don't actually drown, they asphyxiate. This is caused by a valve in their nose that closes the second they go underwater. They don't do it intentionally, its mechanical in nature. When they go underwater they can't breathe, and if they can't get back up they basically suffocate.
You're right that beavers will asphyxiate via CO2 narcosis, but half of muskrats, most mink and I suspect most otters will wet drown (take in water in their lungs).
Google: "Terminal dives in mink, muskrat and beaver"
Ryan, while trappers like us learn from watching the behaviour of beavers and other furbearers approaching our traps, antis love to use these types of videos in their Animal Rights campaigns. Careful what you post, it could hurt us...
Here in Maine a 330 has to be completely submerged. Having said that, ever shoot a raccoon? Or a rabbit? These types of animals convulse - in fact I know I have an instant kill on a coon when the convulsions start. In my opinion, that beaver died instantly. What you are seeing are the convulsions.
@TheTimma11 It could be convulsions, however, until we stick our head in that trap, we'll never know. My personal opinion is that the struggle is not convulsions until you see the hind feet flapping. That is convulsions. I've seen that hundreds of times when I shoot beaver. The first 30 seconds or so I think it is a struggle. Just my guess
@WorldWideOutdoors Watch my video of a beaver working a castor mound set. You will see that the trap MUST be out of the water that much. When I set blind sets, they are 1/3 out of the water or completely submerged. That beaver died 4 feet away from where the trap was set. Watch some of your beaver getting caught and you will see they fight no matter where the trap is placed. It is the time that it takes for the animal to die that matters, not the brief struggle
@5911ryan I have witnessed beaver and raccoon get caught. There is no reason the trap HAS to be out of the water! If the trap is fully submerged that beaver will die faster, because as it fights it will fill it's self with water. No one said anything about the struggle, they all struggle when the jaws clamp down on them!
@WorldWideOutdoors I can't believe that we are arguing about this. The traps exerts so much force that there is NO chance of air or water getting in or out of the beavers lungs. If you are snaring underwater or setting bodygrips sideways, that may be the case, but a 330 on the throat will not let anything in or out. Put up a video of a 55 pound beaver getting caught in a 1/2 submerged trap and prove me wrong. My traps are not anchored with sticks, only wired to a nearby tree.
