Well things have been pretty dead out on my line, between a full moon and this crazy weather we been having. Rain/snow/rain/snow/ and a huge temp drop the critters have been holed up. Plus there is a ton of bunny sign this year and I am sure that they have full bellies But running yesterday I cut track so it looks like they will be on the prowl After I caught that first otter between the beaver houses I rest it and have not touched it. Checking yesterday I walked up, saw no track in the snow on top of the ice, came around a bend and mr otter had to have been running under the ice and popped his head up outta the hole I had pulled all my marten gear right after Xmas, checking a kitty set I saw where a ermine decided to make his home right by it. Guess he tried to claim the beaver hanging there, dropped a No1 jump and had him next check. I keep checking the rubs on my line for sheds, did't find any till yesterday. Kinda funny, on a 100 yd stretch of trail I find at least 1 shed every year.

Several years ago a friend bought one of those wolf rams and brought it by. I have a knack at "field testing" traps with my own appendages, if you get my drift, and knew I would never use one of those!

Now that’s some good snaring. I have one wolf master power ram but I have never set it. Maybe I’ll look for a good spot this weekend to try it out.
