Any one seen it? I really enjoy reading his article/column in the Fur Taker magazine. This DVD sounds like a good one.

Mac

Isn’t he the Motel 6 guy?

Actually he is a very successful control and fur trapper. He also has a good line of lures and baits plus he makes guns. Interesting guy. Just wondered if anyone had seen the DVD.

He makes the Circle C 33 traps

I don’t know if this is the DVD being discussed, however here is a link to his site- http://www.highcountrycontrol.com/dvds-videos-books. Some YouTube videos also available. Some are Motel 6 commercials and a few on other subjects.

His traps are awesome,to say the least.Never used the 33's,but have the 22's and their something else!

Would have never guessed the motel 6 guy was a trapper.

I enjoy Tom's column in the Fur Taker magazine.

I haven't heard of those traps

Tom makes good quality stuff! Good man!

Tact i thought you were the leading authority on here on coyote trapping, how in the world have you not heard of those traps? lol.

Think he use to sell the jaws so you could make any trap a super duper coyote getter. Been enjoying his column for years, always
some little nugget in there you can use if you pay attention. Id buy his dvd without hesitation, based off what he's written im
sure it will/would be top notch as well.

Mornin' J, beaver trapping slowing down yet?

He'll leave the light on for ya!

Mornin' J, beaver trapping slowing down yet?

Not sure, about time i think it is another bunch of mess pop's up, lol.

Got rabies projects coming up so everything else has to wait while all
that is going on. Glad to see summer nearly over, been a tough one!

I guess O'godman must not use them, lol.

Seriously though... you have heard of the traps. Coyote Cuffs.

Got the 3 coyote trapping DVDs on order right now.
And for those curious about the CC#22-33


And I do remember them being mentioned in hoofbeats,really think he was just talking about tom for the most part

Sounds like here...think all the farmer's beaver problems are done then a new subdivision starts pushing the beaver down stream and wa la more issues.
Been trapping one guys property for 25 years and could never figure out why the beaver issues were non-stop...then found the city crew from the next town over
had had a boss that refuses to trap/kill the problem beaver there....he just has his guys open the dams up....yep same creek system. Ran into one guy who said that they have been doing
that for thirty years!

Regarding Tom's traps...live market guys love those wide jaws on the CC traps. AND if you haven't tried his lures yet...do so good stuff!

Those look like nice, well thought out traps.

Where can I get some?

TTT

Met and talked to Tom a few years ago at a convention in SD. He happened to be staying at the same hotel I was. He came down to swimming area where I was watching my daughter swim and he was watching his son. We chatted for about an hour. Real nice man.

Anyone seen his new video's yet? I'm interested to hear like Mac.

Might not be.. according to the internet the Motel guy is Tom Bodett and the trap guy is Tom Beaudette.
And unusual as it may seem there are a few more Tom Beaudettes around the country.

Those traps have been on my "want list" for 30 or 40 years and I always wonder why he isn't better known here. DVD is useless to me, I wouldn't give fifteen cents for a bushel of them but if he wrote a book I'd want it.
