Ryan: boys from Dry River were trying to travel down Easu River to make trail to visit you. How far you think it is from mouth of Easu on the Peel to your place?

They can be cooked all kinds of ways but these ones are for bait

Not that far.

You probably meat there trail eventually then. Lucky guy have visitors.
I finally saw a Lynx track in the school camp portage. Couple otter tracks also.

Set 59 traps today. Was a long day. Started at 7am and just got home. Can’t wait to check them

Sounds like a good day!

Good to hear! Hope your first run you have a full sled!

Altogether I now have 57 marten sets, 5 wolverine boxes and two pee posts for wolf. Looking forward to getting a lot more set during the holidays

Sounds like a busy day! you must have had some stuff prepped up pretty well to get that many traps set in a day. Good luck!

Yup. I prebait my marten boxes at home. When I stop I just grab a box and trap and my drill is in my inside parka packet to stay warm.

Thats some impressive trap setting. Wow I am slow!

Crazy moon to start the late night trap check









Missed a picture of one

Fox took one marten and trap at this spot but I reset another trap anyways. I’ll carry some #3s next check


Set this wolf trap on a newly opened section. Set another 5 120s over 3 km. Also one wolf snare and one 280 for wolverine

Darn nice trap check Ryan I hope you get the trap and fur thief fox !

Awesome run and congrats on the fur! Hope you get that fox. Look forward to hearing about your next run!

Nice run, how many marten do you usually take every year?

Good catch!

I’ve never had good marten country to trap. I got 89 one year and 78 the next year in an area where you had to work pretty hard to find small pockets of marten. I always wanted to see what I could do in really good marten habitat.

Thats a good run on the line!

First walk of the year last night. Tie rod boot ripped and filled my air box with snow. Froze up luckily I was only about a mile from town when it happened. I was 50 miles out earlier. Made me postponed checking and setting more marten traps until tomorrow.

A mile isn't bad when you put it in perspective!
