After how many years not catching a wolverine and then scoring two within a week!

Male caught about 800 yards from the last one. A bit bigger and he has three white toes. Had a duke #3 on the front and a bridger #3 on the rear.

Next I caught a lynx in a set where I had missed one earlier this year due to a buried trap.

Topped off the day with a red caught perfectly around the neck in a wolf snare. He had ducked under it twice already. So I put a fox snare about twenty feet away, but he didn't make it that far this time.

Here is the throat/chest patch on the first wolverine. I think it is so cool!

Not a lot of action on the line, but did end up getting a lynx and one weasel. Nice to have the sun shining even if it is cold out.

Had lynx tracks in the yard a couple times so I put out a trap. That night it came by and ate the bait and left the bone, but I missed. I told the wife she should reset it and make another set as well. She did and didn't get it the first night, but 3 in the afternoon the next day it came by and got caught!

Her first lynx!

Good deal on the fur! I wish it were cold here! Our snow is deep and wet, not fun stuff right now. Congrats to the wife on getting her first lynx! I think your keeping her tied up at the house so she dont get more then you smile She did pretty good this year! Hope the weather holds for you and you get some more tight chains!

Yard cat! Nice!


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

Shhh! don't give her any ideas! laugh
I think she did quite well with what she had to work with and when the younger ones get a bit older I plan to have her spend more time on the longer line.

I suppose, but I sure wouldn't want a pack wolves being that comfortable around the house.

On the longer line? Maybe she needs her own line!

Shut down all of my line yesterday. I had snapped most of my marten sets a while ago, but one of the two I had still set nabbed a weasel. We had a warm few days and there was a good number of fresh marten tracks. I also came across a fresh set of wolverine tracks and then there was some lynx tracks that were just a day or two old. Nice to see there are still plenty around. I still can't figure out what happened to the otter and mink this year.

A little over a week ago I set up a 4 miles section in another area. Last year I pulled a real nice male wolf out of the same area. I have some wolf snares, wolf traps, and a few sets for wolverine in the spot. I got this 76lb female yesterday.

To go from a weasel to a wolf, smallest to biggest! Quite the contast!

Nice.


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