good trapping videos

[22savage]

hi guys. 

beens searching the net for some goood  trapping videos. mostly for the dirt hole and flat sets.   the only trapping i've done before has been with snares mostly.

so could someone point me in a good direction as to what is a good how to video?   i have heard good comments on Canine 2000.  Anybody have any other suggestions?

thanks,

I have held off on answering as I figured there were a lot smarter folks than me that might pitch in.  No one has so you are stuck with me I guess.
What is your location as that might have some to do with what video would be best for you to purchase.
I see you are interested in flat sets and dirt sets so I can assume you are after canines. 
Fox of coyote or both?

There are literally dozens of good to very good videos available.  I have been trapping for a while but admit I am a book and video junkie so I have seen most that have been put out.  The only ones I don't or have not bought are from those that I feel don't have a good reputation.

Many tapes or DVDs available are good as far as information but some are quite poor as fair as film quality.  Some video while they might not tell you so are geared more for the advanced guy and those do not always cover basics such as trap adjustment, fastening and trap treatment so you must do some checking on what you want and need.

Canines 2000 tape you mentioned is good.
O'Gorman's are all very good.
Matt Jones tapes are top of the line.
Bob Jamison has an excellent fox video set.
Slim Pederson has great instructional tapes.
Johnny Thorpe has some good tapes.
Clint Locklear and Matt Jones did a great DVD on coyotes
Trapper Art has a couple good ones.
J.C. Conner has some great tapes

Probably a ton more good ones but the above guys come to mind.
Hope this helps

 Mac, I never replied,because I sell videos. Customers ask if I have watched a certain video,I must tell them no.I don't have the time or finances to watch them all.  lol I have to go by what my customers tell me.

I hear ya.
I started collecting books years ago but the cost is not as bad as videos.  I started collecting videos.  I found that I watched a video once or twice then put it away to collect dust.  One day I did an inventory and was shocked at how much money I had tied up.  Due to times I have sold most off.  Now I buy them to learn what I can and then sell them at a loss of course, but I have had the opportunity to learn something or at least be entertained.  To be honest, most of the time an experienced trapper does not learn tons but it is fun to see how different folks do things. 
I have found if you price them reasonable you can move them as a rule.

thanks for the replies guys. I hear ya about the dvd's being expensive, that's why i asked on here first.  i don't want to spend money on something that is of lesser quality.  i guess i could recoup alittle money by reselling them on ebay.  thanks again, much appreciated.

I buy /trade for all the videos that I can.
IF I learn just ONE thing from a video its worth the $30-$40 . Then I just trade them off.
