It wasn’t in one of yours but I do have some of yours out there. Fingers crossed another one comes along.

Pretty animal and nice catch. Your in timbered country it appears. You might research the white 17 snare pole set which I think is in the archives. it is a set that will be fairly specific for wolverine. That skull is a trophy in itself or worth about 50 bucks green if it doesn't have any bullet holes in it.

Thanks everyone!!

Just for the record I did not shoot it in the head. That eye injury happened before I got to the scene.

Need to get some buckets sets out and wouldn’t mind trying the white17 snare pole out.

Went and tried breaking my trail out yesterday. Spent about 12 hours out there fighting the snow, overflow etc. Managed to put in about 18 miles of trail (4 to go). Trail looks more like a trench now. Got to my last set and found a pleasant surprise!! [Linked Image]

It was a miserable day.

Sweet!!! Love the pic with the light through the snow! Hope the snow settles for you and you get it all broke out! Looks like you got some critters running your trail smile

The light pic did look cool but it wasn’t any fun getting it out of that hidden washout. Even worse when I turned around to head back and hit the other end of it. So dumb.

Thanks! Think the wolves came through between storms. No working gear though.

Wolverine #2 for your troubles. That is a great run even with all the snow. Good job and the hard work paid off. Great pics

How entirely beautiful is that shot of the hidden washout...but frightening, all at once.

Think I got lucky catching them and lucked into an area with good numbers that like to travel my trail. Previously I never had one travel my trail just cross it sporadically.

Wow. Gorgeous. Look at that delightful necklace bling . And dark- I love the dark ones. His fur is so glossy, the blue refractive light just shines on his big paws and tail.

A rug with nice edging to show those colours off would look amazing...

I'm partial to ruffs on a parka or pull over. With 2 you can do a rug and get a ruff!
