Nice reds! Glad you can get out. Yeah, we are still in storm warning system, here. Maybe by this weekend. Who knows. We are now getting a lot of snow, and more on the way. Not shaping up like I'd hoped.

Juneau's been nasty lately... Just got back from there on Sunday.

Well after a long season of internet trapping it was good to go out for my first reality check

I am just marking trail now and have about a half dozen sets out.

My first trap had this guy



And my second lynx trap was plugged..it feels good to be trapping again.



Hope to have a good season this year.

Real nice Jeff, that's the way to get started!

My daughter posted a pic of her 'Alaskan' Christmas tree. I didn't even realize she knew him...lol!

Now thats a Merry Christmass

Love the tree! I wish this NW would stop soon. my wife is burning all the firewood up trying to keep the house at 80 degrees, what is the matter with 60 degrees inside? Oh well she is the boss of the nest.

Nice start yj, always look forward to seeing your pics.

Here's one that had both hands in the cookie jar. One was buried, one was by three toes. He wasn't going anywhere fast. Plain jane stock offset #3 Bridger.

Thats a XL male there Bigtime...nice!

That paid for some gas Jeff!

Here ya go akpawpincher. Was a fun day out on the line today.

Yukonjeff/smalltimetrapper, great bunch of photos!

Yes.. I usualy start the season in the hole.

Nice Hook up YT!

yukonjeff- Thanks. I also start the season well behind my actual plans.

Nice foot catch Ytrapper! Were there others with this one?

Takotna- I had a p-post about 150 feet from my portage in the middle of a long stretch of slough. Pain to hide on windblown mud bank. There is 6 others with this group. Long story short, i was driving to the portage about 500 yards away. Goggles all fogged up, trying to thaw them on my heater hose. Look up from driving and i see a wolf ahead running. By the time i get my rifle up it go's in the woods. Then i noticed my drag is gone!

Cool! You using any big baited sets? If so, have they checked it out yet?

Takotna, i haven't had much luck using bait sets. Well natural moose kills (didn't find one yet), Jus gonna stick to trail sets, p-posts and detour sets. I do have a snow hole set i wanna try out. I brushed out the wolf i got and saved the hair, add gland lure. Put that into a snow hole set. More for them to investigate the source of the smell. Then have the trap infront. I was thinking about jus making the trail wider where i have these sets. I jus have to find places they are gonna cross frequently.

Nice work STT and yukontrapper! Geez, I'm itching to get out, but our whole 1/4inch isn't enough to put in my line for fox.

Nice wolf YT! My kind of fun...on steroids...lol! Beautiful tom cat STT!
