Caught this fella in a blind set with a drag. He had been using a narrow trail to get down the river bank. His mistake my luck.

The monster!

From the woods to the oven.

I would bet otter

Yup looks like akulerak?

Wish I could get 1 of these.

oooooo, ahhhhhhhh! Kind of looks like this one.
Amazing animal!

Wow was that you? Pic made it all across Ak! Good job!

Wasn't me....

Here is one that I got this year.
Bear got to it before I did. This was in January.

And the trap

Wow, hope you shot the bear! Sure did a numer on em, that's a jump trap right? First good pic I see of one, but banged up. I bet the bear had a big bite outta him to, rough in and rough out.

Geez, that had to suck mad_mike!

I was there, and it DID suck! That wolverine was in that trap when the bear found it. We guess the bear did that to the V14 "removing" the gulo. It was kind enough to leave mm a section of skirt for his troubles.

Dang removal...more like a stomp and squeeze, just looked better at the trap, that's one tough looking trap.

That Victor 14 sure took a beating. Normally those old cast jaws crap out before they bend that much....!

I've got some, but they are relegated to being otter or lynx traps. Have lost wolves in a couple of them due to jaws breaking.

Strange thing happened on the line yesterday. I had a Martin coming in and eating a lynx hindquarter that i had hung about four feet off of the ground from a fallen tree about five inches in diameter. Didnt have a Martin trap with me so i set a #3 up high on the tree. Bagged a lynx. He was hanging by his front paw bouncing around on his back feet. I had heard that you cant catch lynx with tree sets.

Just goes to prove anything's possible out on the trap line.

The Almighty has been dead for a few days so thought I'd bring it to the top again. Here's one from a few days ago.

Nice one! Still looks good and wooly, too.

Nice! Looks like spruce was on the menu for him. Pee post set?
