So I went to the NY ELITE TRAPPERS SEMINAR. The instructors kept talking about recording sets to watch how K9’s work the sets. I’m guessing it’s not a trail cam, but a camera that will record video and not just stills. Anyone know what type of cameras these are?

Most trail cams have a video setting.

Interesting philosophy, over thinking comes to mind first,

Then the today voyage of easy sure set ways to promotea catch

Sure , some documentation comes into mind, but what happened

to the great almighty brain ?

Read a book, gain the basics, learn from mistakes and go forward

No, let's go digital, it's the new money racket in the trapping industry

Get out there, learn the basics and learn from your mistakes

When I first started trapping in the late 50's early 60's , I had a tablet for each property I trapped .
Wrote down every set and how they produced.
Fox sets were the most important , then the water sets , learning when to pull them or wait a week for the mink.
Then came the fur boom , couldn't keep a trap in the ground.
They disappeared over night.
Keeping a record was heart breaking.

HT I love your videos. Especially that first one.

I use a longer post tho because I want the call lure up high and then something they want to rub on down above the trap pan. I am convinced you'd have to put a rock under the pan to miss.

HT that first video , shows just how much a trap hurts them, just a few seconds biting the trap then right back at attacking the post.

Buzzard, how are you!

The idea is to see how they work the set. How we think they work it is probably not based in reality!

Watching the video “Teachers of The Night” showed how beaver approached a 330 or a set in general! They don’t just barge in like one might think!
