Smalltime, I noticed some d rings on the side of your cowling, What are they for?

Previous owner lashed his gun scabbard on there.

Good subject change. I hear it's getting cold up there! Singles, here tonight, and blowing around 60 knots on the water. Nice.
I guess it beats -50!

Didn't get above -36 from what I saw today. About - 42 now

I guess we all have our challenges. Marten should be $150.00! You can have that cold.

Where did FishinHank go? Haven't seen him here in some time. This is usually about the time he starts smacking otters.

Went from -48 to -4. windy as crap, windchill of -50 to near no wind out there. Hope it holds out. I'd like to get my trails back in. Might be off work tomorrow. Get the trails back in but get most of my sets back working once the christmas break is over.
AV- Marten have moved to different zipcode lol. Far from mine. 5 weeks no sign what so ever. Let it soak till they return to the area i suppose.

I feel your pain Yukon, the marten pop this season seems to have fallen off as much as the cats.

After running on almost no snow so far last night we were suppose to get 2 inches woke up to a pretty good pile of it and it is still coming down. Now if Everets would just get that new snowmachine to me all would be good

I think I have seen him posting on Predatormasters. He may have moved south....

Well, trucks in the shop, wife is working, it's a blizzard outside and my dog decided to let himself out of the yard. Been gone several hours now and most likely lost. grrrrrrr.

APP- i see you are following white17's foot steps. Wife is at work :-)Hope ya find the dog and get the truck fixed.

She better hurry up. Your getting low on wood! Send her to W-17 wife school. good to go in no time!

Picked the truck up (shop said it's fixed, we'll see), did a sweep looking for tracks/ dog but the conditions are horrible. Safer to look in the morning. My wife has two jobs...lol! You're right about the woodpile though...

Right on bud, Two jobs man she's good. Wood pile must be where she parks so she can get it on the way in :-)

Some of the best ideas come from my trappin' buds! Dog finally figured out where he lived. I spotted him out back lookin' like he was just passing through and chased him down. It's kinda like playing a country and western song backwards... Got my truck back, got my dog back... got my wife... well that part don't fit.

Glad you found the dog...its a nasty one tonight,I'm gonna be digging out traps tomorrow

Thanks Thomas. I worry about him getting hit on the road out front. He loves this weather! He's such a rascal. He probes the fence out back constantly trying to find a weak spot where I have a strip of wire fence buried and tied in to the chain link. He pushes until he busts one of the wires and then works on it for as long as it takes to bust enough wires to crawl out from underneath the chain link. Took about two months from his last escape this time. I'm getting better at detecting his escape attempts but this one was hidden down in the back corner under a big salmon berry bush. This snow is gonna drift over everything. I don't have any sets in right now but I feel for you!

Tonight
nt_snow Snow and blowing snow...tapering to snow showers after midnight. Visibility reduced to one quarter mile or less...improving after midnight. Snow accumulation up to 3 inches. Lows around 20. Northwest wind 35 to 50 mph. Local gusts to 60 mph.

Dang thats some weather! Back to work in the morning, went down the river a ways today, hard packed drifts every 10' or so. Line is buried yet. Gonna be an interesting ride next time i head down there. Glad your Country song got straightened out and the dog found his way back. Luck callin them in when ya get out there.

Thanks YT. Got a few more days of renovation on my wife's office and then I'll get out to play again. Literally waiting for paint to dry right now.

Chatted with Hank a little while ago via email. He's doing good. Thanks Groa for hooking me up with the email address!
