    Hey everybody I recently had a chance to go out for a day on a friends trapline. I thought as he uses similar traps to you guys in the UK it would be interesting to see his North American sets. He checks his line once every 5 or 6 days, as all his traps are instant kill and the animal freezes preserving both meat and hide. He exclusively uses body grips for the animals he traps, beaver, otter, pine martin, fisher. As you can see from the pictures either a wooden box or steel can is attached to a tree with a bodygrip trap at the mouth of the box and beaver meat at the far end. These sets are fo

    the only way that the snares would freeze up is if they were wet to begin with. As long as you do not have any water on your hands as you set them up they shouldnt freeze.

    very interesting thanks a lot! Nice to see some other ways of catching rabbits

    thanks for all the suggestions. Air rifles that fire over 500 feet per second require a firearms acquisition license which i have. I think I'm leaning to .22 for the added punch. I already have a 22 rifle but because of the noise i would like a quieter option. Thanks for all the info and ill let you know when and if i get one. Most high powered air rifles here are spring powered and their are very few gas rifles that have speeds of over 500 fps.

    Hey I was wondering if .177 was large enough to kill hares with or if I should upgrade to .22 for a cleaner kill. Ideally they will be headshots but will .177 have enough power for a body shot? James

    ummm what is wrong with crossbows? How are they barbaric? Just treat it like a gun and it is perfectly safe.

    just that i have caught with apple before and not caught. Well ill try them both and try to reposition the traps. thanks

    I've got a few cage traps out baited with apple. I havent been able to get anything for almost 2 weeks and there are a lot of rabbits around. I was wondering if the abundance of natural foods (such as flowers from the garden) would deter them from coming in the trap. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

    The meat is edible but not very tasty or tender so we passed on that. So we are getting a rug from the hide. Can it be fed to the dogs? am just interested because obviously we don't have black bears here! Yes it can be fed to dogs but as I don't know anyone with a dog that big we didn't use it. It can be given to humans you just have to cook it a long time. What? not tasty or tender? neither is a cow if you butcher it wrong. It's a cry'in shame to waste all that good meat . Do you know that the bear was niether tasty or tender because you tried it?, or cause you heard

    The limit for Black bear per year (includes spring and fall seasons) is one. Residents buy the tags for 30 dollars. For nonresidents the cost is 300 dollars and you must go with a licensed guide. I was in a treestand when i shot that bear and the guide was about 10 miles away. My maximum killing range was 20 yards only because i wasnt confident in my ability to shoot a bears lungs much farther than that. The bow i was using would likely kill from 70+ yards, but its not really practical to be deadly accurate at that range. All of hunting in Canada uses tags which are bought from the provincial

    run like hell i would imagine!! i would of thought the guide would be armed with a fireman The guide does bring a shotgun along shooting buckshot if the bear doesnt die within sight, but as we saw where he died he didnt bring anything.

    Yes he was baited with a barrel that is filled with oats. However the day of the hunt we would throw a bucket of bread, jello, and grease on it. heres a picture of it. I was going to use Rage expandables but our guide has banned expandables due to too many lost bears because of broadhead malfunctions. So I just used my three blade muzzys. Unfortunately the fur is already at the taxidermist so i will have to put up a picture in september or whenever it arrives.

    Yes often bears have to be killed near campgrounds and cities. Yes i do regret not being able to eat the meat but im thinking this will be a once in lifetime thing for me. And besides deer hunting is really my thing
