OK While I am no legend I enjoy my time on the trap line. Yesterday I took my 22 yr old son with me to set a short line close to the house. He got into town about 1300hrs and we loaded up the 4wheeler and grabbed a few extra traps. Stopped down the road at the local stop and rob and got him some lunch to go. he is about as broke as they get. Been there done that!

We opened the gate about 1400 and unloaded the wheeler and started toward my favorite otter honeyhole. Low and behold we came up on a crew surveying for a new pipeline. Talked to them for a few minutes and realized that most of my land I have been looking forward to trapping now has heavy equipment and people working it over.

Good learning experience for my son to learn to overcome and adapt.

We headed to some out of the way spots I cought a few beaves last year and ended up showing him how to set connis, snares, and grizz. He learned to set a #3 ls also without catching himself!

I took the time to really try and teach him what to look for and why I was doing what I was doing.

I wish He could have been here today to go get the 2 coons I found after work!

Mostly pics here. Nice Alaskan February day. My marten country...



A few marten from the line Feb. 11th....



Fur shed....




A check on the beach 'line...



Furs ready for shipment....



A day on my line is always different. Ocean trapping varies greatly, due to sea conditions. I run many lines around the state. This is my home line. Most days are wet and windy. Constantly fighting freeze/ thaw weather. Anyone want to see another post, of my interior animal pics, and traplines??

Hey Lt Grey. If you get down to WV next year I'd Like for me and my son to ride along with you for a day. I have been working on permission for next season and got a few lines planned out. Maybe you could ride a day with us and give us some pointers.
Best Post i've seen on here yet. I love this.
