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.

Nice! You are skinning.

Freaking crazy weather! Started the week off at -22, stayed in the negatives all week, Friday it was -17. Today it is freaking +34!

Picked up a nice little red at what Boco calls a jackpot Just some moose hide in a bar ditch with 3 snares.



Picked up another yote, he ran the wrong bunny trail

Nice stuff Hft! Keep it up!

Well the weather finally settled down and the critters are starting to move a little. Along the one swamp I run I saw where a fox had come out of the woods and onto the swamp, about 3 weeks ago. Last week I seen where he popped out at the same spot. Hung a snare and..........................

Pretty little red.


I have 2 of those power rams, not really a fan of them, they scare the crap outta me I hung each one on trails that I know the yotes run, connected with one today

Well, are you a fan now?
Looks like that 'yote didn't stand a chance.

Looks like he had a chance to stand tho. Sitting pretty begging for table scraps.

Haha Good one AV Nope, about 8 years ago I was resetting one and it slipped, lost a front tooth! Really shy of those dang things!

Now you resemble a hockey player HFT.

Good one Boco, I did for about a year, then I had them all pulled and got dentures now

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.

I have bunch outside my house if you because you like them Ryan. They are all rusty and ready to go. I even have one sitting out on the line waiting to be set. Got a wolverine in one once a long time ag so they do work. The snare was down to the last strand when Ed and Sampicked it up though.

Well this weather bites! You go from -22 and snow holes, to +41 with wax paper flapping in the breeze. Switched everything out to hay sets. Did manage to get a little fur. A mink and a nice cross.

Nice collection of of fur HFT setting snares in this strange winter weather patterns make a difference doesn't it , keep up the good work !
Stay Safe out there and catch a bunch !

Love to look at these threads, the cross fox look plentiful in Alaska.

This weather is freaking crazy! T shirt weather for three days and then we get a dump of snow. Made for good riding though! I think I picked up the ugliest fox of the season. Can't tell if it is a Sampson or if it is living in a barrow. Hardly any dang guard hairs on the thing.



The Highlight of the day was a kitty Walking up a spur line I looked over to the base of a tree where I had a cubby. There was nothing there, it was flat! I was like what the heck? Then I heard a low growl...............Dobbins Purrfect strikes again!

Wow! What a great picture of the cat!!!
Do you pack extra shorts?

Nope! The first thing I looked at was the trap, he was deep in that Duke #4

Love those flat ears !! You know he's not a bit happy !

World record awful fox !!
