Any one have any experience with the bridger 150's for marten?

If so they work really good for marten

Hey all, just checking in. Been gone for a while. How goes the battle?

Spent the last two years building our cabin on the Clearwater. Will try and get some pictures up when the internet cooperates.

I was beginning to wonder if you had fallen off the face of the earth Jimmy. Did the family moose hunt go on as usual this last season?

Tj, is that the Delta Clearwater? We built a couple cabins on there a few years back for a couple bankers.

Another uneventful run today. Sure bleak for fur sign other than marten.
Even the wolves are avoiding my area like the plague!
Good thing decent marten population.
A few pics from today.




Someone had a thread about using marten carcasses for bait. I've been using them for years.
They have worked well for me only as a visual bait on pole set, worthless in a coni box.
Obvious they like the bait as I've had them chew up the marten completely while in the trap.
Here's a pic from today. Half marten for bait. I remade the set and what I'm holding is the
remains of the previous carcass. I've got the tail.

Yep, the family moose hunt made it this year. We ended up with 2 moose between three hunters. Not bad and was great to get back into the woods. Only thing that sucked is it rained and snowed almost the entire time. Thank god for the wood stove in the tent!

Yep, the cabin is on the Delta Clearwater. Love it down there and waited forever to get a lot down there. So nice to pull up to the cabin and not have to set up a tent or haul everything in and out. Only down side is we are on the other side of the river from the road, so no access in the winter unless I wanted to cut 5 miles of trail from the Tanana across who knows property. Just not interested in it that bad.

Going to have to figure out my photo bucket password and get pictures uploaded so I can post them here. For some reason the system here just isn't working.

Good to see you on here TJ. I thought you were still in prison.

I am just super enjoying all of the AK and NWT/Yukon posts, thank you, and Top Jimmy I can't wait to see your photos. That Ellis kid with his foxes is awesome. Here in Pennsylvania I hunt and trap our most remote, rugged area, and it is nothing compared to what you guys have.

I think Muddy missed you TJ. I believe he may have some international jewish banker conspiracies to share with you.

Really? Sure am glad I missed that user. What a waste of time.

LOL !! I think Muddy has those for everyone !

Couple little toads for an AK rat , or at least for me they seem big

finally getting cold out got my first ice ball of the season

Woo hoo! Glad you're getting out!

Way to go!

Nice" Ice Balls" is right on them dam catches.

Built a new Black Fish trap tonight,(dont mind the dead cat)
