Notice how the wolverine gives the head a shot of scent before leaving?

Yes - frozen so solid it's evidently not worth the effort - for now...

Kind of like finding my Mild Duds frozen, only worse.

WH - If wolverines didn't eat frozen meat they'd die. It just had places to go and bait to steal

This is a clip of my first run in the jetboat I ended up buying

I captured some fox breeding behavior on my trail cams. The fox really squeal and yelp while locked together

Speaking of fox. this one was killed by a Golden Eagle. My buddy spooked the eagle as it was finishing the fox off. Day later I spooked it off the carcass where it had eaten this much

The wolverine I caught was a beauty - but super skinny. He looked like he hadn't eaten in awhile. I don't think they have much to eat where I am trapping. So - I can't imagine them just leaving a perfectly good moose head that quickly. That wolverine must have had more options in mind!

Out of curiosity, what did you wind up getting for boat and jet? Curious because I am in the market for one too.

Did you have to turn around and go back up?

Nice videos Brian. I wanted to put one on my bait but didn't want to sort thru the thousands of pics of ravens, magpies and camp robbers. Seems like all my camera shut down around 27 below F. Your grandson sure is growing fast. Good luck and be safe out there.

That eagle eaten fox looks familiar darn things can really put the hurt to a bait pile and anything snared in it once they key in on it

Wow, that's a crazy pic, definitely a bad way to go. Wonder how long he hung there before expiring.

That would be a horrible way to go. It is amazing how animals get into some of the situations they do.

When I first started using trail cams to film wolverines I was amazed at how good they could climb.

Good video !

Reminds me of the image I drew for Trappers Post of the wolverine up on his hind legs, stealing a marten out of a bodygrip , swinging from a tree.

Love to see them in action this way - I learn a lot in observing ...thank you Bushman cool

You can hear the claws on the bark! Also good for tunneling into snow banks. [Linked Image]
