Hopefully the bears kept them off when it was wet and gooey...I have heard of fox around here living inside of a whale carcase,
if they get it in the fur bad they are pretty much worthless.

If that's an oosik that bad boys got quite the curve

Weren't there a couple of whales that washed up a month or two ago? I don't recall the particulars, but saw a blurb in our local rag about it.

Yep, there was one out on Spruce Cape and another on Chiniak. These remnants weren't real close to either, but the way the tides and winds move stuff around here it's quite possible it's from one of them. I had another slim lock fail today that cost me a cross fox. He left a heck of a catch circle and twisted off. I haven't lost one like that in more than 20 years. Should have been dead. Good news is I had another one (silver)caught which jumped off a cut bank and hung itself soundly. New locks came in the mail today. Time to get busy.

Nice silver! Its cold today. Its the wifes birthday today so i dont get to go out and do anything too
crazy today..tommarow is a new day.

Happy Birthday to the missus!

Thats a dandy!!! Congrats!

That's one sexy silver!

Thanks all, she's a beaut. Built up a couple dozen new snares with the BMI mini locks to replace those I already have out with the slim locks. I'll switch them as I go and replace the locks on the others. I don't know if I should send them back to the shop or just pitch 'em. It would be nice to know why they aren't doing the job. I only have a few left of last years and they are set out, but I'll compare when I bring them in.

Happy B-day to your wife Thomas! Yep it's a little chilly, but I like it... it keeps the riff raff in town... lol!

Nice!..Its like some of you guys get to trap in a fox farm

Well technically... kinda...
Back in the mid 90's they used to show old movies of Kodiak back 75 or more years ago on the public channel. One of the movies had clips of a fox farmer releasing a bunch of silvers somewhere here. Must have had a market crash or something. Sure made things interesting!

So you think your foxes came from that movie ?

That would be a really old fox... lol!

Yeah, maybe you should pull a tooth and send it in.

Is that what Ol' Blister did with you (before she agreed to marry you)?

No she's afraid to get an accurate age on me. She'd feel guilty

hating things here, right now. Opener tommorrow, and calling for north 60 mpyh., with seas to 14', and heavy freezing spray. Pretty much been like that for the last two months.

How's she doing? She doesn't get on here as much as she used too. You must be working the poor girl too hard.

Heck yeah she has that brand new shoulder so I have her putting it to good use.

Is that some metric hybrid ?
