I told someone recently about your human evidence scale... the one about having to hike a minimum time without seeing evidence of another human with satellites excluded since nowhere on earth can they be avoided.... Thanks for sharing, I mean it. Jeff

Some early experiences I had with Marlin Perkins and others led me to avoidance of photographers and videographers. Seriously. Aix - Mornin' Jeff. Yeah, that wasn't meant to be deep. I call that search for true wild country my "quest for thule". Still looking... Scout1 - pm'd you sir.

I'd enjoy being around when you and Ken were to get together for a visit along with some other colorful folks I'd bet it could be very educational to say the least. My question is was there any animal or animals that were tougher than the rest to catch for you while doing research on them. Thanks for your time. Allan You're friend along the snare line . Allan

Gulo OP "On The Other Hand" G Joined: Jan 2009 Idaho, Lemhi County	Thanks again all - Allan - I'm a bit surprised that this question hasn't come up sooner regarding the toughest animal to trap. Yes, no question in my mind at all. For me at least, hands down, the grey wolf is the toughest to catch consistently. Sure, there are individuals out there that are not the sharpest knife in the drawer (just like humans or any other species), but on the other hand, there are also a relatively high proportion of Einsteins. They are what's kept me in the game for so long. Their intelligence coupled with their sense of smell, to me, is fascinating.

Allan Minear trapper A Joined: Jun 2010 MT (Big Sky Country)	Jack I find that very interesting that you said the grey wolf the one thing I've learned is that when you say this or that is a given is when that animal will change the game . What are your thoughts on foot snares for wolves not to replace foothold traps but in addition to them ? I've yet to try seriously to catch a wolf because they are around but not very consistently here in Central Montana I've seen more wolves in Southeastern Montana which I've always thought was interesting because it's such open country. Thank you again for your time. Allan You're friend along the snare line . Allan

I couldn't in my wildest dreams imagine walking up to one of my traps with any of those animals in them. My 11yr old son has got my trapping bug going again after a 14yr hiatus, I just showed him your pictures and I thought his eyes would bug out of his head. He proceeded to ask 100 questions in about 3min that I couldn't begin to answer. Please, please let us know when you have a book available! Thank you for posting Sir, Mark
