Nice haul,good bit of work allright to get the wolves skinned and boarded.


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

Nice! Pulling up to a wolf in three locations had to be a great feeling.

Awesome catches! Just finally set out a few traps the past week. Had to change bearings a few weeks ago, and had to change track the other week.

That last wolf had a healed up scar on a leg from a snare. Makes me wonder if it's the one that won a battle with a cat snare about 4 years ago.

Had another decent weekend, complete with some near misses. Got a couple more silvers, that makes four so far. My cross and silver catches have far outnumbered the reds the last few seasons.



Got a couple more cats, probably don't need to see more pics of them. Missed another by six inches at the shredded fox set where I got ol' white toes last week.

Had the wolves all over this pee post, this is where the male was caught last week. Trap was not quite in the right spot, I guess. They also went right past a couple dirt holes that were set with stinky bait and passed by. A bit of bad luck on these guys. Hope they come back, adjustments were made! This set is on the edge of a lake. There is a snared bait pile on one bank. I loop out onto the lake and make a pee post where the loop joins back into the trail. It makes a tear drop shape, I try to make that intersection where there is a big tussock. That becomes a pee post. Caught a couple wolves on this set, they hit one of the trails and find that clump.

That's neat on all the silvers you're getting.
Bummer on the wolves, it happens to all of us. Looks like you had a nice
covering of snow on the set too.

This 70 lb female makes number 6. #9 trail set.



Got another white toed cat, all 4 feet, same set I got the other one in. Must be inbred around there.



Got some foxes and yotes, shot a yote and called another one in this morning, so that's always fun. Did some calling the other night under the full moon, had a pair come in, winged one and trailed him until it quit leaking. Kinda hard tracking through the areas that are packed down with bunny tracks. Unfortunately never found it, which kinda sucks on many levels.

Nice work Nate. You are getting some beautiful fur this season. Those fox will bring good money at our auction.

Them silvers are beautiful I’ve only ever caught one silver fox. Wish I had kept it.
