Man I would never even think of trying to eat a beaver! ....until I started watching your channel. So I crock pot a back leg with onions and spices...bring it to work...and ALL the guys at work loved it! I am 2 years into trapping and have trapped 6 beaver now with the advice from your videos. What an amazing resource you are sir. Lets go Brandon!

The yellow safety is a definite essential component

[paulhuval]

That safety in a must on those big traps 👍

[archiedpatterson]

Thanks so much I've been wondering which tools to get

[BobRowley]

really found your trap setter video helpful. had never heard of maine setters. can't set even smallest traps by hand, arthritis, you know

[raydowdy]

I just bought my first set for bridger #3. And what a difference.

[luckyjim]

I'm a 30 year old timber faller, I'm strong as can be I use setters because I slipped once and lost control of a 330 spring and my pinky finger ended up between the spring eye and jaw corner, it made me start using setters as often as I remember them

[dredgermm]

Well said, Tim. I have yet to invest in setters, but I certainly am looking at the options.

It's funny, there was a short that Dunlap lures put out somewhat recently where they were filming an example video and on of the camera crew or helpers they had with them managed to set off a 220 with the toe of his boot. Luckily he had smooth leather steel toes on so the toe catch was enough to hold that big critter.

I like longspring footholds cause you can use your feet to set em, but even 110 conibears are tough to set with just hands and bite the hell out of you setting them. I should get one of those yellow safeties

[denislosieroutdoors]

Great info there eh! thanks for sharing

[mattcorke]

Good content. That last trap you showed with the U for the safety. I'm thinking u could thread the ends and get a plate to put on the back side with some nuts. You don't have to tighten the nuts super tite. That way, you don't lose your safety or get bit. I'm new to trapping. I tuned in for the conibear traps. I like that chaulk gun setting tool. Thanks for the video

What type setter is best for number 4 or 5 double long spring traps? I can't compress enough while standing on them. Tried using a regular setter and an RTS setter at same time but very tricky!

[stephenhair]

Where can I purchase the yellow Safety? Thanks for a very informative video. Learned some valuable information.

For the long spring safety, just use good old fence staples, you can use them for attaching a chain to a tree also. As far as setting a long spring trap, especially the ones that I made a modification to them by adding another spring, you need to use a vice grip pliers or a channellock pliers work great. Just some helpful hints. That rope trick for the conibear is a good idea, I always have trouble setting my 220 conibears, but is there any way you can make the jaws on the 220 come together closer, because there is a 1 1/2" gap between the jaws, which does not work for squirrels.
