J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Been doing a hell of a lot of trapping lately....got this footage today........ The DVD is coming along, I've got just over 40 minutes of footage so should have it done by the end of the week....but it's going to take a while longer to work out how I want to release and market it.....I'd say there's some unique footage on it...but then again, I suppose I'm biased!! ha ha :laugh: :laugh: 11 Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Is it a how to dvd? Im gonna have a bash at the trapping this season No matey, I don't know enough to advise, 'how to', it's more of a 'how i do it' .....lots of catches on film, not just checking traps, but actual images of traps being fired. I'm probably goingto make the first one about 70 mins long...but it will only cover about 6 or 7 items...so not even scratched the surface....for example the rat snaring part is over 20 mins long, but to do it any less would be leaving too much info out...lots of night time trailcam footage etc... 3 Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I am looking forward to watching this ... I haven't got the technical know how equipment or the inclination to make something like this so apart from the odd trail cam clip or the times I've been sat up near a trap and watched a live catch then myself like most trappers only ever see a set trap then a full one so this dvd will be a very interesting watch ....... 6 Quote Link to post

Just getting the footage has been a real difficult thing....I've just managed to get a great Fenn Rabbit catch on camera but it took me a year! Everything seems to go wrong, there's leaves blowing, mice running, the batterys get drained ands then the frigging cam misses the actualk catch and yet picks up a slug moving! I toio have little technical know-how and splicing trail cam clips and gopro clips together has been a real brain strain...it took me 5 hours just to gte a still images spliced into the moving images.... ..it's drove me up the wall, but I've learned a little bit and things have gotten quicker......but it's not been easy for a guy with a tiny brain, like myself....I will let everyone know when it's finished and i have it available on a website etc....there's never been anything at all like this done before in the whole wide world as far as i'm aware.... Happy Trapping Folks... 8 Quote Link to post

techworm 22 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 i am interested in the behavour of the animals around the traps. I believe the american trapper, Clint Locklear, did a night trapping dvd on coyotes, coons, cats etc which pioneered improved trapping sets. "Teachers of the night." Quote Link to post

The one 8,511 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 A dvd like that would be well worth watching as its going to be different from your normal showing how to set traps and legislation film Quote Link to post
