I got message on Youtube from my buddy rjmcleod21 he says I made a mistake on my post here when I said he got 4 or 5 wolves following trail of leaking Jet B. He said he got 7 wolves that day. I beleive him if he says he got 7 but my picture only shows 5. [img:center] [/img] I know this wolverine thread but this came out of the bait section. Hope this makes RJ happy check out his youtube channel he has really been hammering the fur this season.

This one's in a MB650.... Is that a split ring? Do you trust that split ring?

That is indeed a split ring. I lent a few 650's to a friend, and he added that to reach an anchor point, I'm told. I do NOT use those rings. You can see where that wolverine got wrapped up with the chain I have on my the trap, thus taking what I would assume to be quite a bit of the "load" off the ring. I would think that the first few minutes after connecting with the gulo, the ring got a workout, though. You will also see several crunch-proof swivels. One at the trap, another about a foot from the trap, and a third about 4-5 feet from the trap. All are welded shut and connected to #5 chain.

I've used those split rings and have no problem using them in the future. Never lost a wolverine when it was in a foothold w/a split ring. I've seen pics of them beig stretched out, but i've never had it happen to me.

Here's a picture of a 54 pound wolverine!
That may even be bigger than Ace Calloway's lynx. Some of the members here will get that joke

A 54# gulo!! Wow. I was wondering what sized wolf would you "wolverine" guys say that this is on par with? A 120? Bigger? I haven't handled any gulo's so no personal experience, but I don't recall reading about that many in this range.
Fish answered my question though. :-)

So your saying you have two other ones over 50lbs?
Curious if one of those trapping tv shoes has contacted you yet for your own show?

Ha ha fish! Yeah, but Ace would have had several and they would have been called in with his WT call. LMAO! So true! Glad we can all remember "a-s-s" with a laugh!

Seen a 48 lber on the scale in front of me. Guts were full though, but still was a monster. Biggest by far i've seen.
