Caught this fella in a blind set with a drag. He had been using a narrow trail to get down the river bank. His mistake my luck.

I was there, and it DID suck! That wolverine was in that trap when the bear found it. We guess the bear did that to the V14 "removing" the gulo. It was kind enough to leave mm a section of skirt for his troubles.

Dang removal...more like a stomp and squeeze, just looked better at the trap, that's one tough looking trap.

That Victor 14 sure took a beating. Normally those old cast jaws crap out before they bend that much....!

I've got some, but they are relegated to being otter or lynx traps. Have lost wolves in a couple of them due to jaws breaking.

Strange thing happened on the line yesterday. I had a Martin coming in and eating a lynx hindquarter that i had hung about four feet off of the ground from a fallen tree about five inches in diameter. Didnt have a Martin trap with me so i set a #3 up high on the tree. Bagged a lynx. He was hanging by his front paw bouncing around on his back feet. I had heard that you cant catch lynx with tree sets.

Just goes to prove anything's possible out on the trap line.

The Almighty has been dead for a few days so thought I'd bring it to the top again. Here's one from a few days ago.
