Nice catch Chickenminer. That is still one of my hightlights on the line when I caught a double on wolverine. Would be pretty neat to trap an area with high numbers like on the coast where they catch double digits of them. Be safe and have fun. Happy New Year to Everyone.

Man that looks ugly. It's not like I preferred weeks of 40 below, but man a regular-ish winter would be nice.


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

Yesterday was a first! With all the hunters some of them can't leave the fur alone. Last year we had 3 stolen, 1 trap and marten. Someone I know went by in the morning and there was a big dark one hanging. By their return trip it was gone. He called me that evening asking if I was up there today, no I wasn't I replied. He said well someone took a nice one than.
Yesterday a LOW LIFE THIEF, rode past a marten pole with a marten in it grabbed the marten, broke the pole and deposited it 50 ft. down the trail, less the marten of course. There was another one that had an audience, he was alive or he would have been gone, judging by the foot prints around him!

Would it be possible to get away from that main trail to make your sets.The bush looks thin there,you would have to walk a long way in to hide your sets using that trail


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Been there since 1983 and too many sets to walk to. Ran over 250 sets until a fire wiped out some of the line. The trail becomes narrower the further I go.
When I first got the line it was snow machine width, see attached photo, than the miners came through widened it up a bit more but the portion of previous picture was where some of the country had burned.

I hate that. Ive had three foxes borrowed from me this year. At least they've always left the trap. Just hope for karma.

Really. Wow that is odd for the village. I had a lynx stole in St Marys. Trooper caught him however and it was a stiff fine. Wasn't much problem before or after that.
