Our snow went away with the 50-60 degree temps and wind speeds to match the temps.
Thanksgiving day is a deer hunting opportunity for all of us to get together hunting, this year for me it's not in the cards but they managed to get 4 nice bucks they seen one bull elk but no permit for it.
Those mule deer bucks are fun hunting, I wish we had moose around here that's a bucket list animal for me. Thank you for giving us a look into your providence .
Stay Safe out there !

Good day fellow trappers. Not much exciting going on as winter disappeared on me. I've been landlocked with open water and unable to access the majority of my line. But I do have three wolf bait sites going and have taken some marten close to camp. Cold weather and snow hitting this week so I'm thinking January might be a whole lot better for access. Hope everyone has a good Xmas and get to see their families.

I was downloading pics onto a hard drive the other day and came upon this one again.




We spooked a golden eagle off this fox just after it killed it. Was still feeding on it the next day.

Come to Daddy. I'd say I have 100+ snares out to date. Snow is frozen into a hard crust so we know what that means. No wolves for now, but patience is on my side.

A cold snap should prove to improve things for sure. Yep winters are a mystery anymore.

Looks like bait.


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

Good luck Brian. I've got a whole mess of bait at the house but cannot get it out to the line til the river freezes up. Don't think my pilots will let me put it in the plane. Pretty ripe. Winter will be here soon,, I hope..Stay safe and go get some wolves.

I'm sure you'll wreak some havoc on those wolves of yours, J.R..





I caught a wolf with the grandson and he asked if he could have the skull. So i decided to do it for a Xmas present to him. Just finished it




Put six coats on it.




Then epoxied it to a piece of driftwood I had. I think he'll like it.

Very cool way of displaying it, im sure he will love it.
Did you ever do any thing with the cougar skull you found washed up or throw a set of calipers on it.

We headed out on the line just after xmas. - 38 the day we arrived.





But nothing that a load of dry split wood couldn't fix.


Speaking of wood I hauled in a load across the frozen creek but the extreme cold pushed overflow up on top of the ice. About 12" of water, just enough to make the belt spin and require a man haul to dry shore. Left machine running for 10 minutes and everything dried out and back on the road.




Next day it was froze solid again and I could retrieve my chainsaw oil I let floating the previous day

I had a few friends brave the cold, and drive four hours to come out for New Years. We had a lot of fun , feasting and drinking. It was a full moon so even got some night shots.





Next day i hauled everyone out in the party bus. Slow but can haul a lot of folks and gear
