Ryan have really enjoyed your posts this year! Looks like you have a Great Life and Family going on! Good Luck up there!

Ryan I love the way you tell your stories. You should compile these into a ebook. Bet you'd sell a few. It's not often I sit down and read though 39 pages of a post! Your pictures are the cherry on top.

Thanks for the comments. I enjoy sharing what i can. Johnnytrapper- i will eventually write a book of short stories. Im going to call it "a bear ate my oranges" after staying up for 40 something hours, 20 + of those hours on skidoo lookimg for a bear all i wanted was to make it back to camp and eat my frozen mandarin oranges. Turns out a smaller bear ate them and chewed on my sled.

Probably Albert Johnson ate them oranges and turned your sled around too.

I second this. happy to help edit.

Go pro battery died last weekend mid trip. I was cleaning up the camp and set a few rat traps too. I wanted to do a step by step picture story of rat trapping in the delta. Weird houses again this year. They are more snow and ice than vegetation with thin walls. Lots of rebuilding when the pushups are like that. First step is always soaking the whole thing so it could freeze solider over night. Any dead houses need to be taken for the building material too. The few rats I caught were big and healthy. I was wondering where the big weasel disappeared to. It was feeding on some bait in my camp yard the previous trip but there wasn’t even tracks around. Found the weasel frozen solid hung up in a deep fork of a skinny willow. Poor bugger was caught by the hips. Hopefully I’ll get a picture next trip if it’s still there.

Your such a good trapper fur gets caught for you even when you are not trapping. Your going to have to replace that weasel or the voles will take over.

You better get a patent on that willow, maybe it can pass AIHTS. RJM ermine traps LTD.

Its gone from -30c to +8c in a week. Bears are waking up and geese are on my mind. Good luck and be safe this spring guys. No room for getting complacent out there.

I saw a bunch of big Canada geese today in Fort Smith.

I went out yesterday, saw 25, couple passed by with out me knowing, too far by the time I got my shotgun up

Sorting boxes and putting traps away then a couple from bear hunting.











A few from the annual geese hunt. I just got home this evening. It was a good hunt and we got what we needed. Hopefully my Dad flies out next weekend again because Ill be front and center at the hangar with my shotgun.

Great pics,love the shot of the cabin.

Looks like a great time!

Love seeing the kids out!

Is your bear fence still shocking? Been having trouble with some of them.

The rangers shure did a good job on that trail from bear Creek to Mt. Lang. Going to talk to Gook about doing from my camp up to meet there trail next winter. Maybe let them use my camp in exchange for slapping in a couple bridges and widening trail to Lobstick. A bridge at Lobstick Creek would really make it a short trip. Saw a marten track in one of the creecks on the way when we came down from Bear creek by the front. I never did get that sidding eating grizzly bear. Next fall maybe, that one in Butters Facebook really had a guilty look on its face though.

Fantastic pics as usual, Ryan. Those happy kiddies say it all.
