Picked this nice buck mink up the other day in a bucket set. The voles are pretty bad this year with hardly any freeze up. Lucky for me they used the backdoor and didn't ruin the fur.

The weather has been bonkers here. All the snow we had disappeared with the 40 degree weather we been having and it is a skating ring out there.

Hit my first marten box on my short line and found this. What the heck would poop on the box like that?

Picked up a nice red, 1/16, 1x19, cam loc

And got my first cross of the year. 3/32, 1X19, slim loc.

Great catches, good start to your season. I wish we had more fox here, they are a beautiful animal...but I'll take the pale Coyotes all day long!
Full traps!

Spruce

The cross fox looks beautiful!

Look who I found in Anchorage!!! Sissy! She said she knew how to skin fox so I put her to work

Thanks for letting me come and hang out.

Can't beat that!

Picked up this big boy on a moose trail, 1/16 1x19 cam loc. Pretty dead out there, no snow, +40 weather, I think things are chilling until it either snows again or gets colder.

Nice man at least your still connecting I can’t even take my sled out at all I got a few sets on foot. Not much sign up here cut some wolf tracks so maybe that’s why not sure. I’ve been doing a lot of fishing out here though caught a 42” pike she was a fatty a lot of fun catching threw the ice. Fingers crossed for snow and better ice Give me a shout when your out this way sometime

Sure, catch a coyote the day before I leave.

Nice catches and pictures.

It always amazes me how a change in the weather makes things move. Good run this morning
All three of them on bunny trails. I know I am missing a lot right now, I set all those snares when we had 6 inches of snow on the ground and they are way high, but I figure the snows coming and the fur can only get primer.

I was really hoping for snow before I took the wife out on her winter moose hunt, nothing like driving the sled right up to them after they are down. Took the wife over to Recondo's place week before last, he let her borrow a nice Weatherby 308. We dialed it in and she was ready to go. I enlisted the help of fellow Tman member akcowboy and he brought out his quad and I took my beater of a sled
Ready to roll.........



I did a recon of the area we were going to hunt yesterday and saw a few moose so I was pretty confident about her connecting today. Got out to our hunting area a little before light and went on the prowl through some bedding area's. We kicked up three but they didn't stick around long enough for her to get a shot.

We ended up making our way back to the quad and took a little cruise, about a mile and a half down the trail we spotted one in the brush that gave her an opportunity, and she connected

Nice! Will taste good all winter.

Congrats.Nothin like a big pot of moose stew.

Nice! I need to get my wife on a moose.

Nice! Little sumthin' to freshen up the bait pot as well!

Pretty day out in the office Lots of fresh snow The gut pile is already gone from the moose, pretty amazing how quick the critters clean up!

Picked up this girl, 1/16 1x19 slim loc.

Nice work! The canines are getting some good laughs on my line dancing all over frozen traps.

Haha I had that happen yesterday, following a set of yote track down my trail, rolled around a corner to where I had a hayset, 4 inches of wet snow,.............he popped the trap but got the bait Heading out tomorrow to put in a few snowholes, the weather is perfect for it for the next week.

Made a quick run behind the house today. The moose are starting to drop their antlers, hope I find a few more!

Picked up 2 reds,both 1/16 1x19 with cam loc's.
