So I always see folks talking about how there are so many bad trapping YouTube videos out there so on and so forth. So to help with that wanted to but together a ....peer reviewed, I guess would be the term, lost of YouTube videos can be posted for all to see. So it's pretty simple, got a video that's "good" please just post a link below (pretty please help me out a little and post links to individual videos. I don't always have time to go though a channel and pick and choose )and I'll add it to the first post here so that it can be watched on the site and I'll try and categorize them Beaver trapping coyote trapping snaring trap shed fabrication ect. So if you got some good ones please just post a link say where they are in like five words and I'll do the rest.All I ask is let's to keep stuff somewhat kid friendly. A swear every now and then should be that big of a deal but dropping the F-Bomb every three seconds is a big no no. But trappers do cuss so PG -13 is fine .Also please nothing with " graphic or distasteful dispatches" if you think it would freak a soccer mom out please don't.
Thank ya kindly

No expert here but

The Management Advntage channel has some stuff I found educational

Also whitetail properties,coyote trapping school and staggs in the wild channels had educational stuff.

All of the above are rated G in my opinion

Ed Schneider from Kanas...

Todd Strohecker from Pennsylvania...

Live more outdoors. Is a great channel and kid friendly.

Ed's video is spot on,best I have ever seen,explained everything very clearly.

Ed is a good guy to do business with also.

I agree Rick but he needs to figure out a way to reduce the wind noise on his videos. I get frustrated trying figure out what he's saying most times.

Ed gets my vote. Follows the Kiss system for coyotes. Also watched several of Jeremy Cooley's videos this year and they were good. If a guy uses more than a couple types of sets, lures or bait to trap coyotes I have concerns about his know how. One guy mentioned on this thread came to my area recently to trap and he caught 2 coyotes in a week. I've watched some of Todd Strohecker's videos and enjoyed them.

Paul from Montana Wolf Trapper has some good videos. Not totally clean language, but something like one F-bomb in this years entire set of videos. Which he gives a warning about, although I personally think he could have just edited it out.

There are several guys on youtube with some good channels, also some not so good. As far as keeping things clean (mostly) coon creek outdoors and 330 maniac are some of my favorites. 330 is an amazing beaver trapper and shows alot of good info, and coon creek is an all around trapper from showing predator sets, to fur handling videos, and even how to sharpen a fleshing knife. These are 2 of my favorites that keep it clean, for the most part anywho.

From my understanding, Ed upgraded his microphone to cut down the wind noise, towards the end of this season. Next season, his sound should be better.

Just ride watching one of his latest videos. Hope that wasn't done with his new system as it was just as painful to watches some of his earlier ones. Needs a Bluetooth system with a foam cover for the mic to cut the wind noise. I talked to him about it this summer at our state meet but he didn't seem to interested. Lots of good information lost with all that noise.

Great idea from CoonDuke-

You can always go back in record new audio and play it over the old. Not yhat hard to do with a decent video editor.

Just beware of the videos that feel the need to tell you the brand name of their traps or that this lure is the best. Or anyone using all caps for video titles. I like the videos that explain technique and tips, not the ones that say you have to use this trap and this lure to catch coyotes.

I think more trappers have been caught because of youtube videos than coyotes

Anything from Todd Strohecker/Coon Duke would be a good addition. He covers important topics and does a good job with his videos. Too many to list.

Ed from Kansas has some good stuff too.

Here are my submissions that I think a lot of trappers can get benefit from and seem to be pretty popular on my channel:

Resizing old muskrat stretchers to maximize profits:


And Making Adjustable Coyote Stretchers:


Schmattz

These are my videos I think they all have some useful information. They don't really have anything to do with in the field but they show a few things I struggled with or thought would be helpful for the beginner and I haven't seen on other channels also two are helpful in destroying the myth about pain and suffering with trapping.

If anyone especially the mods dosen't think they should be here PM me and I'll pull them

Leftlane ,schmatz , and trap setter thank you all very much ,I'm working overtime all these organized and posted

here's my contribution. seldom trapping

Couple more I missed the first time.

Trappingtoday.com Jeremiah Wood he has a youtube and does a podcast and has a few books out. Hes from Maine too so all of the things he talks about are relatable for me and Ive pulled a lot of things from his stuff. His podcast gave me the trapping bug after not trapping for years.

The Black Trapper. He doesn't know anything but makes good videos

Dale Billingsley has started putting out some pretty good content on his Youtube channel.

I'm glad to see Dale making some videos, alot of experience and knowledge there!

Thank you everyone I'll try and update all these soon

Microwave wax dirt for smaller traplines.

As a new trapper the ones that have helped me out the most would be any of coon creek outdoors or Hoosier trapping supplies content.

They keep it simple, they show you the sets, remakes, reasoning for a set, etc. I also like that the cover some of the gear because when I flip thru a trapping catalog, I have no clue what most of these tools do or where I would need them. Already found a few things that really helped me save time and save wear and tear on the body.

I don't like it, but I use the closed caption option when I can't hear what they're saying. Hunting videos when there whispering also.

Here are a few good videos

Got to check out “out of the wood yard” best beaver vids

Agreed, those guys know how to put up huge numbers

Check out the hammer trapline products on YouTube. He’s no bull crap.

Bruce Rhoads, owner of backwater baits has come out with some amazing videos on tips for adc trapping, as well as some bait lure making. Very useful information and definitely aomething different as their isn't a whole lot of adc info on youtube. Goes by backwater enterprises on youtube.

Some great videos in this thread

I have a few that most of you have probably already seen, but if you haven't subbed yet check it out
