You have any pictures, I can kind of see it in my mind but a picture would clarify it for me.

One tiome I caught a wolverine in a wolf master power ram. I came into possesion of half a spoiled caribou. So I put it in a thick bush and made a trail through the deep snow and put wolf masters on either side. A big storm buried the the snare on the side facing the river and the wolverine walked over that one followed the trail fed on the caribou then followed the trail right out into the wolf mastrer which was not buried. He must have faught for a couple days because my boys picked it up and the snare broke as they lifted it. It oly had one fried strand of wire holding it when it died. Toataly destroyed my set place, chewed all the willows down in the area it could reach.
Caught 2 wolverine this year one in a leg hold set for lynx and one in a 330 in a plywood box. Do you think painting the box is better than leaving bare plywood. The wolverine past up a unpainted box and went to a box painted red and green (old x-mas sled). Could have been the bait though as that box had spoiled beluga whale muktuk for bait.

Up in arctic Canada fresh beaver meat freezes like rock does not have much smell after that. I usually have to mix other baits with it if I use beaver for bait. How about moose lower legs they don't seem to be very popular with the preditors either.

Hey Muskrat, put your location in your profile.

I don't think a wolverine would care at all about the color of the plywood. I'll bet that spoiled beluga was some ripe stuff !!

i tried but it did not work I will try again

Muskrat, are you using lure??? I use marten magic for wolverines and it works well. The reason I ask is that beaver will freeze solid here too.....I travel through one FN trappers line to get to mine......He has the best marten I have ever seen and uses beaver for bait, with no lure. I see marten tracks everywhere when traveling that section....even under his sets.....but he catches very very few.....has to be because they dont smell the frozen beaver.....

This is a picture of a see through log trap that I made with two 280s in a log.
I only tried it for a week at the end of the season. I left it out there and will reset it this fall.
I put a bunch of different types of bait in it so the wolverine will have a choice.

We have very few marten as we are so close to the tree line. We only get them in pockets here and there. I only got 1 last year. I am going to expand my line next year to try and get into some marten. I never buy much lure I usually use beluga whale oil. Or I got some non toxic antifreeze and mixed it with beaver castor. Put it on a ball of caribou fur and both wolverine I caught played with it before getting caught. I may add some High Karate and whale oil to it to give it some kick.
I will remember to use lure when I set for marten.

I have research on what has proved in field trials to be the very best wolverine scent lures. I will tell you the top two lures, one will not surprise you but the other will blow you away. Any guesses?

Wolverines are part monkey. I have hours of footage of them climbing. They are very capable climbers and rely on it to escape wolves and bears

I guess skunk essence??????

I have heard they are fond of av gas.

Muskrat you need to make sure your photo url ( address for a photo ends in .jpg
That address similar to this. Notice the .jpg at the end.

Beaver castor and Len you are close turpentine.

I have to ask; what inspired you to even try turpentine?

I think it was Audrey Magoun who several years ago said that she had found 80/87 to be particularly attractive to wolverine. I wonder if they react to same to 100LL or unleaded ?

Porcupine that feed on spruce bark taste like turpentine.

I assume this was posted seriously, but you always know a REAL trapper when they know what porcupine tastes like!

That right there is funny. I don't care who you are......!

I second that.

One time we were doing a clean-up of abandonned JetB drums in the Richardson Mountains. They were frozen into the ground and we hit one with an axe to free it up and made a little hole we duct taped a fuel pad to it and haulled it like that in an aluminum sled. Must have leaked a small trail all the way behind us. A pack of wolves followed the trail for 25 miles. The next day guys who went up to haul the last drums got 4 or 5 wolves on the trail back to the drums.

Gin tastes like pine needles which smells like turpentine.....
I am going to try castor mixed with turpentine and gin mixed with my Podunk trapping buddies. I do know that they investigate AV gas on the ground.
