People are saying great things about Buckshot and his video's.  Seems like he may be responsible for a resurgence in trapping Here's what just a few have had to say:
     
 

From A First Year Trapper

 

Buckshot, I have been really busy getting thing's done around here for the holidays.  Seems everyone wants to stop in and chat and chat.  Me, I would rather be out in the woods looking for new places to set traps.  Well, the old timers here are in total awe and disbelief.  I went to the little local fur buyers market Sunday to see who had what and how much of what.  I was feeling pretty good after I left.  Most of the old trappers came in with about 30 coon, a few foxes, lots of rats, and only 3 mink in the whole place.  Well, I am new at this trapping game and maybe I shouldn't toot my horn, but I have 75 coons, 6 reds and 5 gray foxes, 3 coyotes, 18 mink, 5 weasels, 14 grinners and 90 muskrats.  I don't know if this is good or not, but after what I saw Sunday I was very happy.  I am only allowed ten traps for beaver and a total of twenty pelts for this area of Penn.  I would like to have all 20 done in a week.  The season opens for beaver the day after Christmas.  I saw a newly cut a tree that just fell and the beaver is eating the bark off the upper part of the tree.  I just hope there is enough bark left to keep him busy for 18 more days.  Ok, take care and I will keep in touch.

We caught a coon and possum in the bucket set using your coon lure. We set another one about 40 feet down the creek from it so tomorrow we might catch 2.

Buckshot's Beginning Trapping & 

Buckshot's Water Trapping Videos

 

Thanks Buckshot for your videos.  I used to think setting and checking traps was fun and a good excuse to get in the woods, but it just doesn't compare to actually checking traps and finding animals in them.  I hope you put those videos on a durable brand of video tape because they are going to be watched again and again!  There is just too much information to get it all the first time through."

Buckshot's Predator Trapping Video

 

Hi Bruce, been a while.  So far this year I've really had a ball trapping those dogs (coyotes).  I've really learned a lot.  My son was down from Neb. last week and he went out with me to check traps, he really got into it and said he wanted to try and make a set, so I let him.  Two days later he had a nice sized female caught by both front feet in a #2 Bridger.  I've heard of it but never actually seen it before.  Before we went out that day, he watched your video so he made the set just like you explained with the dog toward the black block and right up against it, after he caught that bitch, he said that Buckshot really knows what he talking about.  As of yesterday I nabbed # 30, that is with traps, snares and calling.  About 12 were called and that's only running a dozen traps.  Thanks for all your help.

Finally caught my first mink in a set purposely made for mink!  Was caught in bottom edge set right after a 2-inch snow.  Buckshot was right, bad weather sends them to the bottom. I had 2 - 110's set  at 2 points on either side of a culvert. The water

is only about 1 foot deep.  This little ditch leads back to a swamp.  I couldn't believe it when I shined the flashlight down on my sets and saw the biggest buck mink.  It is 23 inches long on the stretcher from the tip of the nose to base of tail.  Wanted to get it mounted but my wife was kinda against the idea.  Thanks for all the info.  I've got 48  -  110's waiting to be set. On the bottom of course!

I got another mink yesterday on a muskrat house.  My dad and I got a #50 beaver today using your baited set with a 330 thanks a lot.  Does the 220 bucket work for Fox to ?  I got lots of Fox around here but I can't get them.  My total catch this year is 15 Muskrats, 2 Mink, 1 Red Fox, 1 Gray Fox, 1 Otter and a Skunk (Yuk) !

About a year ago I decided I wanted to start trapping so I bought a few traps and gave it a whirl.  A friend had a watermelon patch that the coyotes were just tearing up, so I told him that since I had now decided to be a trapper that I would gladly take care of his Wiley (coyote) problem.

 

What a pathetic situation this turned out to be.  Anything that a person could do wrong, I must have done.  I was darn near ready to give up on the whole thing when I stumbled into Buckshot's camp on the Internet.  My first E mail to him didn't give him enough information to help much, so he mailed me back and told me he needed more information before he could help me out.  Now, a year later and probably 30 or 40 E-mails later I have finally learned enough to be fairly consistent on ole Wiley.  I got number 30 yesterday.  About a dozen were caught in footholds and that is only running about 10 traps and part time.

 

No doubt about it that Buckshot has helped me the most.  I remember in the beginning I was really confused by all the different opinions about sets, traps, how to prepare traps Etc...   Buckshot's advice was to pick out one or two good professional trappers and mold yourself to their way of doing things.  After all Buckshot reminded me, you can't argue with success.  He was right and I've had a real ball this season, just wished I had more time to enjoy it now.

Another First Year Trapper

 

I got 3 more coon's today.  I don't like it but I had to pull my traps this morning. I have to go back to work, but I plan to re-set them over the Christmas holiday.  In three nights with 19 traps set, I got 6 raccoons, 1 possum and 2 rabbits.  I guess that is O.K. for a rookie!!   LOL  This trapping stuff sure does get in your blood.

Here's What Is Being Said About Buckshot's Lures

 

Tried your Coon Lure last night in a cage trap.  It worked real good.  Nailed a nice coon the first night.  What is in the lure?  No bait, just your lure.

What is in your Coon Lure ?  I tested your Coon Lure in 6 bucket sets and 6 more bucket using XXXX coon lure.  Your lure caught 5 coons and brand XXXX coon lure caught one.  Also, your Muskrat Lure was one of the better producers.

What is in your Beaver Lure ?  I was trapping for years without lure and catching my fair share of beaver, but after testing your Beaver Lure and seeing my catch total go up, I now wonder how many beaver I have missed not using lures.  Great lures -- don't change a thing.

Thumbs up for Buckshot's Book, I read it in less then two days. If you trap or want to learn or already do you really should read the book. I can't believe it doesn't cost more to be honest.

Most of you might not believe this and if you don't just buy some of Buckshot's lure and find out your self. Well anyway about a month ago I bought some of buckshot's lures I bought his Coon Stacker Lure, Predator Thrasher Lure, and Beaver Blaster Lure well on the Coon Stacker Lure I figure I quadrupled my catch most day's some times even more but hardly ever less and on his Predator Thrasher Lure I caught 100% more coyote's.  I had set a dirt hole for coyote using his lure and next day I caught a coon were I've never caught a coon before. So I followed his track's in the snow and they led me to the river about 250 yard's or more!!!!! even more the tracks came straight to my set I guess the wind might of helped a little but not much. I mean these are the best lures I've ever used. The only one I haven't tried was the beaver blaster but I'll try that next year but I guarantee that it will work. So if  your just trapping coon's you might won't to buy some Predator Thrasher Lure along with the Coon Stacker Lure. I will be using some Predator Thrasher Lure in my coon set's next year for sure. But I'm not sure if it's better than the coon stacker for coon's. Like I said before if you don't believe me just buy some and find out for yourself.

Can't believe it, I ordered some of Buckshot's Snares on the 12th over the net at night, with standard shipping charge and when I got home from work today, the order was there. That is fantastic, it takes four days for Sportsman's Guide to get it here from 9 miles away and Buckshot gets it here from 2 states away in less time.

I got 4 conibear traps for my BOB and a Video from Buckshot . He is very nice fellow to speak to on the phone when ordering . There is no doubt he is an expert in his field of knowledge . I would and will order from him again. My order arrived promptly and I was over all very satisfied with what I received.

Earlier this year I ordered Buckshot's Snares and his Wilderness CD, I was surprised at how quick my order made it up here to Canada, I will be ordering some conibears very shortly. Buckshot's service is unbeatable.
