as always looks like a good time stillninternet trapping out here for lack of snow and ice Ive had a few critters hit overflow over the years but never a wolf and never anything like that what a fun mess that was

Wow. Crazy trip. Frozen fur is better than no fur I guess but you earned every dollar that wolf puts in your pocket. Thanks for bringing us along. Quite the adventure.

WOW thanks for sharing Howler, as always good read

Great writing and pics of your trapline!

Awesome photo journal!
Congrats

Awesome posting as usual.

That is a trip and a half!! Thanks for sharing. Congratulations!

A great post!

I'd have loved to have read your mind when you first saw that wolf!!! hahahahahahahaha

Howler, those wolves on your line are special. First one is cross eyed, no wonder why he didn't see the trap. The second one is half beaver.....

BTW, the one in the over flow is epic......OMG, that had to suck!!!

Great story, great pics

Thanks everyone, pleasure is all mine being able to do what I love and able to share the adventure and experiences (Good and Bad) with everyone. Got the big gray male boarded tonight and the 225# ice wolf is hanging in the shop and loosing weight fast. Guessing it'll be ready to skin in a couple days.
Martenpine, I rarely have the opportunity to take someone on the line with me and never been able to find a woman that likes me and the outdoors as much as I do or would go out and do this with me willingly. Always enjoy having someone out there with me just to share the experiences and adventures. It's not always a picnic of a trip and don't really like to take just anyone out there for safety reasons. Sometimes you get to experience or see things that others just would not believe and nice to have a witness. This is why I take bunches of pictures and these new little digital cameras are awesome and most are expendable now. I usually shoot around 100 pics every trip out and erase the ones I don't like. A lot of pics were not near as neat as they looked when I took them. I carry a little light weight tripod in the box with me at all times and set the camera on timer and snap the self portraits and action shots.

Hey Kusko I never claimed to me a good trapper nor a wolfer but be damned if you are gonna take these wolves from me. I'll cull the retards just the same. Just happy putting iron in the field and some fur on the board.

God said he wants his trapline back.

LOL!!! The good, the bad and the stupid. Good for you!!! Come on now, am I the only one that noticed the cross eyed wolf???

First thing I noticed was the crossed eyes. I thought it would make the wolf twice as vigilant with the extra ocular angle. But I can't go cross eyed so I really can't say

Noticed that his left eye, eye on our right when looking at it was looking outward. Not cross eyed.
A condition that I looked up and found to be called. Strabismus The opposite of cross eyed where the eyes look outward from one another.
Interesting enough it is associated with in breeding. Good one to cull out. ;0)
Still a beauty.

I see some nice guns on the wall behind you and the Wolf. What you using for rifles there? One looks like a Savage in a .17 HMR or a .22 Mag. in Savage. I say that because I just bought a Savage in a .22 Mag scope combo that looks like one on your wall. Just curious.

Really enjoyed this one! Great pictures and crossed eyed, frozen in or not I'd be happy with every one of those wolves especially that first black one ( I'd have some big mitts made out of that one!) Looking forward to following your adventures! I've got caribou heart and potatoes cooking then I'm off to my short line, not expecting much if anything though because snow's been drifting since my last check! Take Care!

Wow...good times

howler congrats on some really nice animals,thanks for the great photos ,i wish i could have seen the look on your face when you realized what you had caught.
