Heck yeah! Lots of crosses and once in a while a silver. It is fairly proportional to what I get trapping. The last silver I called in and killed was two years ago. I've missed a few and had several that I never had a shot opportunity on. That's the way it goes and what keeps it from getting boring. Two crosses from early this year (end of last season)...

One thing I remember Rick Kinmon saying at the fling about something that worked for him was to interject additional animal calls during the call. Such as an owl. crow , or jay. Said it seemed to decrease their suspicion level.
My son has a real hankering to go calling here in Homer. So looks like that could be on the agenda. Makes Christmas shopping a lot easier. ;0)

So much for my trip to the AK banana belt, blew gusts to 70 most of the time with snow. Good time had but glad to be back on land!

Found a tree hugger out there today, had to give him a lift home.





This looks like a huge cat, gotta thaw him a bit and see what I got. Not sure what I'm doing different, but I've snared a few this year, all perfect neck grabs, last year I had them jumping through snares and otherwise getting around them.

Yes STT we were based off a tender, makes it nice to have a bunk, shower etc... on those late winter hunts. Congrats on the kitty, I have yet to see any this season I think my areas are rock bottam on the cycle.

Dave that is an Aqua pod, it's a "duck layout boat". My friend and I both have one, very stable and have never rolled one. I've had them stuffed with decoys, gear, and labs in pretty swelly water and never felt unsafe heading in the beach with it.

Pincher, that silver is a dandy!

I like that Aqua pod too! I was thinking about an inflatable kayak but that has a lot more room and possibilities! Nice cat ST! I wish we had those here. All sets are pulled for awhile. Honey do's and truck maintenance for the next week or so. I'll be back...

It works good for me ... I bought it used off a guy that had three caribou in it and hit a stump and busted out the bow, we riveted another one on it and its been good for about 5 yrs now and I drag it over 50 miles every trip on my line.

And yes the tow bars they come with are junk...my short rope works OK
