The Otter was in Oct AK and the wolverine was two weeks ago. You're right that our snow is low but actually travel conditions were good. The ice froze up hard without the insulation of snow and then snow arrived.

It was a beautiful morning the other day. The sheep have come out of the back country to their winter ranges. The big rams should show up soon.

Been wondering when you would show back up from having fun. Must be nice to have photos and decide which one you want to catch. ;0)

The weather has actually co-operated this winter which surprised me. Not much snow but fairly cold so rivers are froze tight so I have good access. I've taken a few lynx and marten over the last couple weeks but the wolves are not co-operating much, as there is little snow. That pic is a solo wolf that was hanging around while the packs are running everywhere because of lack of snow.

Len I keep getting film contracts which make some of those animals worth more to me alive then dead. I have a no trap zone for my major bait site as I want to keep our film subjects happy. It's been worth it though as the cameras have revealed more about animals behaviour that a life time of observation could reveal, just like Saskmusher said!

We've spent the last three months in an edit suite putting our wolverine documentary together. It will be broadcast on Feb 25 on CBC here in Canada on The Nature of Things. For my US brothers it will be on-line shortly after the 25th. I'm pretty proud of the final product.

And just for the record I'm still a trapper! Picked up this lynx yesterday from a set that's been producing for over a decade and had taken a lot of lynx.

SK - Nothing fancy. An upright pole stuck in the ground and wired to the big pine at first branch level. 9" loop about 11" off ground. Pole about 3' out from tree with dry branches for cubby. Chicken wing with lure for bait.

I'm in Costa Rica. I Took a break from low fur prices and I'm getting recharged for a film project in March. I still found my mountains though.




I flew into Liberia on the NW coast and grabbed a car. My wife and I like the local stuff as much as possible so we're not beach people. Although the beaches here are magnificent. We heard from a local about a private run hot spring about an hour back into the hills.



It was Well worth the drive, half way on very rough trails. The spring were perfect temperature and my wife and I were totally alone the whole time. An aggressive hike in really warms you up for a dip

They had the hot waters dammed up and a change room built. Very cool
