I just heard of a trapper in southeast Alaska who trapped, not shot, 9 wolves in one day just recently. All on the mainland, so no worries about the "rare Alexander archipelago wolves". I saw the pictures to prove it. This must be some sort of record isn't it, at least for trapped wolves?

Is that nine in one check or nine in 24 hours? Darned impressive either way. I'd be thrilled with one wolf in nine days!

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

16 in snares is the most I heard of. A guy around the fort chip area. Hand cut trail through very dense brush in the off-season. Made a 90 degree turn and hung lots of bright flagging tape. Wolves panicked and ran down all his hand cut escape routes.
I’m happy getting 1 at a time myself but always welcome more.

I remember Jim M had a darn good check on a wolf killed moose he set traps and snares around once again I'm going to suggest we wait for verification from Pete this was during the wolf trapping class in Miles City after the Western NTA Convention JR would know also .

That was 12 wolves and a fox as I recall.

Thank you Drasselt for the clarification on that I'm sure getting them all skinned and put up was a challenge when I've done coyotes a bunch of wolves even more so.
Any amount of wolves caught is impressive in my way of thinking I look forward to seeing more wolf pictures on here folks ! Allan

Yes skinning a dozen wolves would be a chore in and of itself but those wolves were caught a long way from home, which was a cabin, and had to be sledded in a few at a time - frozen rock solid - loaded in such a manner that the fur was not damaged during transport.
So awkward load and big job does not even begin to describe the task at hand.
Then, green bellies and all, they had to be hung, in the cabin, to thaw enough to skin which obviously wouldn't smell like French perfume....
A wolf trapper earns his pay!
Disclaimer: This happened in the 90's so I may be off in some of the details!
