Thanks to all who appreciate what I do, and thanks Jeff for coming to alakanuk, I enjoy hanging out with you for the brief time we get. Also my boys, they love talking to you as much or more than me. I do what I can for my area, my fellow trappers are happy you came, we all can't wait for the next season, glad Steve "one banger" came over too, took a little nudging but he gave in. Our economy is better after yesterday, the family's behind the trappers are again looking forward to a good spring from their trappers fur sales. Big thanks!

Priceless! Mine started helping pack firewood a couple weeks ago, can't wait to get him into the woods with a rifle!



Need to get him a 22 soon!


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

We caught lots of wolves this winter but in the spring when the sun was out longer .we Started having more refusals .even had 2 wolverine stop and go around the only thing we could figure out was they were seeing the locks and moose stops . haven't used them yet but we are done for this year. I just read on here all the time about people painting snares and stuff . so thought I would put it out there . I am open to all advise

Still one of the disquise jobs that looked to be a winner to me is this one posted years ago by nooksack. Thought you might want to see it if you hadn't.

MT, I use flat white, and flat black, but just a few spots on the cable. This gives the snare the shadowy look light filtering through the trees makes. I will get a picture up tonight when I get back from work.
Takotna,
As long as you go easy on the white they still look good when the chinook blows through. Plenty of cable is unpainted, so you have grey, white, and black.
Here is a painted snare. I paint them half dozen at a time, rolled up.

Thanks FT yes we looked at painting but after boiling most paint came of and the smell of paint we just did not like . We are vere picky about smells .in two years we have harvested 19 wolves we just found the locks and moose stops where the only thing that really stuck out . I just thought it was kinda cool that it dyed them black and it was cheap and easy .put it out for every one to try .i love problem solving

It is the stop I put on the cable so the loop will only close so fare .then I cut the lock so when a moose gets caught it will only close so far around it leg then he will jerk on it till it breaks .it works quite well have yet to have a moose stuck in a snare they just break them and move on but wolves can't

Yeah a lot of us just cut the lock. I never saw the need for a stop.

I was just taught that way seams to work pretty good . Also works good on caribou.

I can see where it might be ok on caribou because I suspect a caribou might have a tough time opening the cut lock the way a moose can. BUT, what do you do if you come upon a caribou in your snare ? Don't think I'd care trying to release one.
