I tried very respectfully to explain what went wrong, how to avoided it in the future. Infact it was the same year or year after I had one go up the tree on me for the same reason I told him that as well. The difference is I asked about it here and was told what I did wrong and corrected the problem won't do that again. Kendall Gray doesn't want to learn or change and didn't give to cents about protecting trapping when I was emailing him.. Feel free to give it a go if you want. it's been a few years maybe he has matured some? I would not place a bet on it though. Last edited by Providence Farm; 04/17/25 02:22 PM.

Providence Farm trapper P Joined: Feb 2020 Indiana	Originally Posted by ebsurveyor I hate it when that happens with a 550. You know what I hate worse is finding a 550 with the mower that had been set off but not pulled by my son and got grown up around it. Yep just did that 550 did not survive. Kidding about it being worse I don't think I would be interested in letting a bear loose. I think I would just have to pay the fines for shooting it.

He has 4 million subscribers. A video he posted 12 days ago already has 544k views = about $10,000 A video he put up two weeks ago has 1.5m views = $ 30,000 A video he put up a month ago has 741k views = $14,820 So, he is making about $45,000 a month just from YouTube. YouTube has started to de-monetize posters that show trapping videos. His YouTube page has very few trapping videos. My guess is he has pulled them to keep his cash flowing. If I were making $45,000 a month and someone told me to change something, I would tell that someone to go pound sand. I just posted this in case you didn't know that many YouTubers are making north of $500,000 a year Last edited by ebsurveyor; 04/17/25 02:46 PM.

He acted like an idiot but the boys liked watching him. Regardless of how much money he makes he is a self centered jack leg that has zero problem putting trapping in a bad light. You may be OK with that because he make great money on u tube Myself I don't care how much he makes his behavior dictates my opinion. Last edited by Providence Farm; 04/17/25 06:14 PM.

There are many YouTube channels that offer bear trapping lessons. Wildlife Control Supplies offers many solutions. The products that utilize the Tripp Lock are above the best! https://www.wildlifecontrolsupplies.com/animal/BSA-12-Lock-SS.html The Maine Bear Snare (tube Trap) is a great launcher and utilizes the Tripp Lock.

wws trapper W Joined: Oct 2023 OR	Interesting video, when I was a lot younger I used to catch a few to help train hounds. It worked great to help with the culling process. I used to use the Aldrich foot snare, I had lots of bears coming into bait piles. Used dead dairy cows whole as baits tied to trees. Bears are pretty wild in a trap, the longer the cable the crazier it was. This was over 30 years ago. wws
