Malukchuk - I've seen bear tracks in our mountains in Dec - Jan - Feb & March but it's rare. Those earlier bears came out because of hunger I believe. Snowmobilers had to kill one in January a few years back as it kept coming into camps. Why dragging it's back legs?

The weirdest catch of a wolf I have seen was my neighbor at the canyon had a bunch of beaver under ice snare poles stacked beside a large spruce behind his cabin.One morning he pulled up to the camp and seen a wolf dead by the tree where the snare poles were.The wolf had blundered into one and had wound itself up and died.Perfect neck catch with 1\16 1x19 wire.

Remember that picture of Ugashik Bob's ? He caught that wolf in a 330 in a 55 gallon drum.

Any body using the koro wolf trap? Do any modifications?
I'm thinking I'll just weld the bolt/nut to prevent loosening but other than that it's a monster of a trap!
I just demonstrating setting it to my coworkers in moose hide mocassins cool

I've been using and holding wolves with chain that has a breaking strength of 630 pounds. What's the breaking strength of the chain you hard core wolf trappers use?

Still need to get some 9's from akhowler but my wallet says it's not time yet!

Ryan,
I bought a half dozen of the Koros. Only been using them for two seasons.
Think I've caught 5-6 wolves and a couple wolverine in them so far.
Nice trap. No issues and I wanted to use them stock to see how
they perform before doing any mods. I would not bother welding the lock nut on.
Right now my favorite big wolf trap.
For what it's worth to ya.

We skinned some cats the other day that we bagged and raided for fleas . This morning I notice 2 little bits on ankle . When we skinned I did see one live flea but he hit floor and did not seam to do much . I am pretty sure it is what bit my ankle . My question is can this little bast*** come live in house with me . Have skinned lots of cats and never been bit.

I have never had a problem before . I can read all kinds of stuff on net just thought I would ask people that probly know the answer .

Shop 20 yard from house but could of hitch a ride on me . Daughter has a cat but does not go in shop .

I have had them bite occasionally, but they won't live on people for some reason. I've kept lynx hides hanging inside the cabin a lot of times and have never had them set up housekeeping inside. It's kinda rare but they will sample your blood every now and then.

The problem is I am one of them people . I hate bugs found a spider in bed one night slept in camper . Now I will spend the next week running around scratching looking in the mirror and bug bombing every thing . This is way I live up here would rather deal with a bear then creepy crawling things . Looking at my daughters cat kinda looks like it needs a shave .

LOL, mind over matter Team V. If you don't mind then it does't matter. Your daughter is going to be ticked at you if you shave her cat.

Team V...
I'm one of those people that fleas seem to love. I have to bag lynx with lots of flea killed and let them
set for several days. Just leaving them outside to freeze for a week or so will not kill the fleas!!
I get bites all over and itches like crazy.
Funny but they don't bother my wife at all and our two daughters were split. One they didn't bother and the other
was like me.
We have dog and cat. They never seemed too bothered by the fleas and they don't seem to be a continuing host.
