Check Lowes out, got a 18 inch forged swager for under twenty bucks on clearance in the wire cable isle. Works great on 1/16 , 3/32, 1/4, 3/8 ferrules. Wish I'd picked up the rest now, could have given them out for Christmas presents. Nice work one building the snare.
I was curious what supper collar you use. I have to use vinyl tubing. I dont know if you noticed, but the industry has changed how they do support collars. 10 years ago they were small and fit on all 9 gauge. Past couple of years the wire the collars are made of, has gotten thicker and ill be damned if i can get my american 9 gauge wire to fit in the support collar. Tubing is cheaper and only way for me to support my snare. Also, i like how you put your first alu. stop on. That way the cut end isnt poking you :) very nice touch im going to incorporate that! Thank you sir! Edit: oh yeah a buddy of mine gave me a pair of kline side cutters those things cut through snare cable like butter! Kline has life time warranty. Figured might save the spring on your snare cutters if thats your fancy at all
I had them wrapping the swivel around trees, disabling the swivel. So now I place the swivel about a foot from the snare so when they wrap up the extension they can't disable the swivel. Seems to be wodking, the cable isn't getting all twisted up anymore.
The 'formula one' dipping, is that just standard car oil or something specific to trapping? Also the slim locks...are the your preference or just what you were using for beaver/water snare sets? Is there a significant difference?
I use walnuts to soak my snares in boiling then cold for about 2 days and then rinse them and they come out kinda dark and patchy earthy looking color. Just saying I like the color turn out with the walnuts
I offer control work - but it's not free. Controlling beavers is hard, expensive work. If they are good with that I will be happy to give them an estimate of the cost. They can contact me at meattrapper at gmail dot com.
Thanks. I have used almost every type of lock out there and I honestly do not know what Game Departments mean when they say "Relaxing locks". In my opinion, there are locks and then more aggressive locks - but I do not know of a lock that releases when the animal stops pulling. What I suspect is that the term relaxing lock is just a politically correct term designed to make snaring easier to accept. I have often asked game wardens to name a specific lock that is "relaxing". They can't. I think this might be my next video - a discussion of locks, snares vs cable restraints, etc. Do you think that people would be interested in watching that?
For extension cables I use 7x7 3/32" cable. It's cheap, flexible and fairly strong. Length is usually 4-6 ft - I'm not picky about length. 5 feet is a good compromise as 100 feet of cable will yield 20 5 foot extensions.
2 Questions: Have you used the "dogproof" raccoon traps? Haven't seen any of your videos on these, and am curious about your opinion on these. Also: took a group of leghold traps, and placed them in the dishwasher to clean off all of the oil. They developed a patina of light, surface rust which I believe isn't immediately dangerous to them. Should I place anything on them toprotect against fuirteher rust? Is it okay to lightly oil them with Cod Liver Oil, or fish oil from capsules?
Leonard Urban Good questions. I do not use DP traps at all. They are a low percentage catch trap compared to foot hold or body grip. Their only good point is they exclude dogs and can be used in populated areas. You traps, once they have that light rust, are ready to be painted or dipped. Do not oil them! For land traps use Full Metal Jacket and for water traps use Formula One. My next video will be on dipping snares with Formula One which is what I use.
Can someone send me one of this? I'd love to make one but my arthritis is a pain in the monkey tail. I have 2 young beavers tearing up my creek with their damms.
That resistance trapping is fantastic. The podcasts are worth listening to repeatedly and the range of content is great!

Will you attach an extension cable to the swivel end to wrap around a tree?
Leonard Urban Yes, if needed. Otherwise just wire the snare to the tree.
Great info thanks
I have a friend in Fort Deposit Alabama the need you to trap some beavers taking over cow pastures. Help

Hi... Thank you for all you do to educate us!
Question: Will a 4mm Double Ferrule work for a 3mm cable, or do I need to go bigger on the Ferrule?
😎👍
What is loading cable?
Hi.I've been watching your videos.I'm interested in how you painted the stainless steel wire in brown.What is formula 1?
Formula 1 is a dye that colors the snares, and makes them slick and close very fast. www.fntpost.com/Products/Formula+One+Trap+Kote
@@Meattrapper lol i thought you meant car oil
Very well done sir great information
Have you used relaxing locks?

Yes sir I would
Don't see why not? Very useful info depending on the circumstances.
That'd be a great topic.
Could you help me to Get snares for Spain?..thanks my friend

Olá, você envia para o Brasil? Tenho interesse em comprar, qual o valor?

Hi guys! Man, had to start a new account. :)
How do we find/subscribe?
Welcome back!
Never left, bro. I'm even a subscriber at your Patreon channel--am learning a lot!
Which wolf cable do you use? 2.5 mm 1 * 19?
I do not have wolves here, but we have coyotes. They are smaller, about 20 kilos. I use 1x19 3/32 " cable. That translates to 2.381 mm, close to 2.5.
@@Meattrapper thank you very much! But it is tough, isn't it?
@@user-sk1eh6rq1v Yes, the 1x19 cable is VERY strong. It is also very tightly wound so it is hard for them to get their teeth into.
@@user-sk1eh6rq1v The breaking strength of 1x19 3/32 cable is 600 kg.
@@Meattrapper , thank you for the answer!
Lol had to look up what formula one is
Can someone send me one of this? I'd love to make one but my arthritis is a pain in the monkey tail. I have 2 young beavers tearing up my creek with their damms.
You can order them from Southernsnares.com
@@Meattrapper thanks for the super fast response your videos are great.
Trapping is illegal in my country :( ill try anyway :D
Oh, my bad .... I thought you were going to make a beaver snare with a "Franklin" or a diamond ring in the trap.
