Wolverine # 4 hey? I finally got wolverine #1 but the wolf beat me to it. Only the head left for $50.00. Tiny little feeler to boot.

No King of the swamp hoodie for the Big muskrat this year.

Hey Muskrat 411 got to see you Crime scene clip on Wolverine and I was the 22 viewer. What kind of 22 gun did I win ?

I have a couple oldsingle shots that General Store had on sale after a break in damaged them

How long did you have to pretend you were filming when that dear lady was shovelling off the roof ?
Those single shot make for better shooters in kids learning....... the lead wall does not always get on the target with semi's
they are easy to drill out to shoot 22 mags as well....
That was annoying about the loss of a good saddle backed wolverine, looks like there is still some trim left on it for garments.

Hauling a load out to the camp today then all 5 of us will go out for a few days starting Monday. Looking forward to spending some family time at my camp. I plan to do some rat trapping maybe set a few beaver traps. Still have a few lynx traps out but Marten and wolverine are not targets anymore. Marten gear has been snapped since late February. Hopefully the wolves made their rounds or will make their rounds when out there.

I left town last night and got nearly half way to my camp when I heared a loud bang from the right side of my machine. Something in the gearbox. I found that I could crawl along but once I hit about 38 km/h the banging would start again. I left my loaded sled at a friends nearby cabin and made it home slowly but surely. Fresh wolverine tracks on my 3 hours old trail coming to town. I’m just about ready to try again, with the bearcat this time. A little louder and smokier but I’m not picky.

Family trip is still going to work too. Lots of picture to come.

Nice to have more than one machine, eh?

Terrific picture of you sitting with your daughter Ryan. Your next lesson for her can be to straighten daddy's tie those few times in life he wears one.
Can you tell I'm simply jealous that you have a daughter and I do not?

Great picture.

North of 50 she liked it up there. I took over for a while then we went and had supper. Then it was dripping a bit so she went back up and finished it off by headlamp.

Ryan I had to pull most of my traps. The mountain creeks started flowing. Even had a report of bear tracks in the lakes between Polish and Hudson Bay.
I hated to because the wolves were really causing havoc ate another lynx on me. But the snow over the blind sets thawed then turned to ice. The wolves werrr stepping on them and taking my bait. One huge wolf track and a couple smaller ones. Did not want to snare as they would tear the poor snared bugger to bits. So next year is another year. I have about 5 traps that I still have to pull.

I really got stuck in water yo below my camp had to phone for Samuel to help me get out. After I phoned I got stuck in a drift on top the mountains. By the time I finally got out I could see Samuelson light coming up the seismic line.
Once there was two of us we just pulled my Tindra out by hand.

It is when the backup machine stays healthy. I lost 2 wheels on the bearcat when we were out at camp Every rat house I checked was open but the muskies aren’t coming up to feed. The few I caught were very healthy and plump though. Still picking up a few lynx too. Busy with catching up on skinning mostly. I’m going to clean my shotguns today after I stretch the 8 lynx on the floor. My one fox this year. I’m going to try get a few more next year. Already got my plans for next season. I learned a few good lessons this season and it’s not done yet. I kept a few good spots set for lynx so I have something to look at during cleaning up trips. Depending on the weather I’ll think about carrying something bigger than a 22 magnum soon.

I found a lake with 9 pushups on it when I went to cut wood yesterday. It was a beautiful site.

3 big ones. . I have to start skinning a few for taxidermy. Every trapping season produces a few exceptional lynx and I just don’t like cutting the feet off of those ones. Anybody see a big difference in price for taxidermy skinned compared to being skinned for the trim market?
I haven’t really noticed a huge difference.

How about skinning them for taxidermy then selling to tourist in the summer? that time Edward sold my big lynx skinned for taxidermy to a doctor or something for $300.00.

I finally caught a lynx in a tree cubby but the wolf ate it on me.

Is that the lynx slayer on the bottom? should get it coated with lynx pelt like Troy Landries gun coated with alligator hide. Maybe some caribou antler in lay.
