On the Yukon river, we are having some ice on the ponds in the mornings at 24 degrees, back up to 50 during the day in mid sept....hard to get to our beaver in winter though on the sloughs due to thick ice OR everyone CLAIMS that 50 miles of the sloughs are theirs for the last 50 years...Most, NOT ALL, of them never trap it..go figure...BUT, we do have a couple of HARD working men that do alot and put their butts on the line on the sloughs with over flow, deep snow, etc, gotta respect these guys and put in a word for them!!! Tough son of a guns! Scotty Yukon river bush teacher jssbastiat@aol.com feel free to contact me!
