We poke to holes in it and use light weigh zip ties. In the cold they just break when fired . We found drum on line and 2 shots with a 22 instant cubby .

Never thought of using zip ties for that. Pretty good idea!

Fun on the line got wolf #13 #14 and 15 and a 100 miles on a broke snow go. Broken shock back feeling it this morning. Finally got my wolf drowning set to work after many years of trying. Lesson 43 never dispatch wolf close to water because he will look at you and through eye contact let you know your going to work for his but and then jumps in and bellies up . Having problems with top to photos so screen shot them [Linked Image]

How' the marten doing in that burned country? You guys got the wolf trapping pegged. Impressive. Must be a few extra moose in that country the last few years!

Thank you for sharing your trap line adventures with us , the swimming wolf story reminded me of a coyote I had snared that somehow ended up dead in the river as well ha ha

Way to go John! I had the suspension collapse in my Supertrak one year, thank goodness I might have only been 12 miles from the truck! I didn't realize how much suspension that old machine actually did have until it didn't.


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

Good job on the wolves! I bet that wasn't any fun getting him out of the drink! Hope it is an easy fix on the sled and that nothing else got broke, gotta ask though what happened for it to break?

HFT pretty sure it is the cheap Polaris shocks going to buy a skidoo or fox shock next . The top eye keeps breaking off this will be the third one it was under warranty so I keep using them but now I have to buy it I will up grade

I busted several springs on the old Tundras, I feel your back. On those the track would rub on the top of the tunnel with one spring unless you limped it along very easy with all your weight hanging over the handlebars. Assuming it is similar on the Polaris by the pics.

Broke a front shock on my Arctic Cat, made for an interesting 20 miles out all while standing on the right floorboard.

Great job on the wolves!

That sure looks like a headache getting the wolf out of the river. Broken suspension on sleds can make for some rough and interesting trips out. Good job on all those wolves!

You are doing well on the woofs, congrats! A little more work when you have to go fishing for them!

Good Job glad to see the success with the wolves continues last time I busted a suspension it cost me a bunch as my first clue to it being broke was when it punched through the track


We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve

Another trip down cold one at that. We left at 9:00 in morning at -41 returned at 8:30 pm at -41 picked up wolf # 16 and some Wolverine. Have come to terms that Wolverine can’t smell very good. Have noticed over the years they will run right by a set if it is more then 5 feet off trail and head straight for that perfect wolf set and jump right in it to just to save there buddy the wolf . That is some friend ship . Wolves are thinning out not seeing much sign . Did run across a 6 pack at far end of line and set on them [Linked Image]
