I like the darkish ones best. Super nice and congratulations. Every one of those are special.

That’s awesome! Congrats!!!

Got out on the line yesterday and had a friend along on his mountain sled to help break out the last 5 miles. What a chore the entire day was! We bit got stuck multiple time throughout the day. Shoveling, winching, pulling on skis etc. The caribou have really moved into the area and there are still a lot of moose moving about.

Managed to pick up my first wolf in a leg hold(No BS), big lynx and my first ever fox! Found almost all my traps and reset most of them. Had a number of wolverine and fox footholds that had been tripped and a fox ate an ermine that got caught in a marten set.

Wolf weighed 96 lbs and lynx was 34 lbs.

Been waiting for you to post all day!!! That is a dang good looking wolf! What are the odds your first one was black Hope that lucky streak keeps rolling for you! Congrats on the kitty and fox as well!! Hope next run you connect with a bunch more critters!

You got more than a lucky streak going on. You're entering the experience/talent zone! Good job! Plus a good dose of persistence!

Very nice!

Things have certainly come together this season! I have listened to everything every trapper has told me, read a ton on here and followed everyone’s post, even got some 1 on 1 time with HFT AK on his line showing me how he does things. All of it has been a huge help and taught me a lot.

I for sure have persistence or maybe I just enjoy suffering?

Wow. Great day! And great animals!

Awesome wolf! I have yet to get a black. They are cool looking!

Oustanding! That's some good looking fur you caught...all of it! Keep after 'em!

Either you're kinda small or that wold is kinda big!! Post a pic of it when its skinned.
What kind of ruff is on that parka now? Out west they make parkas with a wolf ruff, then a strip of wolverine inside that, and then a narrow strip of beaver for next to the face. That black wolf looks to have a good coat and you got 2 wolverine to choose from!

Guess I am just average size about 5'10" 195 lbs.

Thats a coyote ruff. Man I had no idea people did multiple layers of ruff like you mentioned. Bet thats one warm hood and parka.

Just gotta find the right person to make it!

Had a good day out on the line today. No winching was required and only had to shovel twice while extended my trail in an off camber spot.

Even managed to catch my first fox in an actual fox set and picked up my first marten for this area. The wolf and wolverine managed to outsmart me though. Put some new sets out for them so fingers crossed they return.

Well furred fox right there Congrats!!! Good your seeing sign. they will slip up

Looks like you found a good area and your having some fun, happy new year.........................

Happy New Year to you and your family!

I did find a nice area and am enjoying being out there even though it wears me out some days.

Got out on the line yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to see the temp rising as I got closer to the trailhead. Went from -2 in Anchorage to 22! Plus the sun was out for the first time since Nov, woohoo no flat light.

Picked up a nice fox and marten. Had some close calls and a miss with a wolverine. They will be back though.

Wolves haven’t been back through in some time. Moose have really thinned out but there are a few still hanging out and a few caribou as well.


Still trying to figure out the coyotes. They seem to hangout in a couple different locations but won’t come into my sets. Or when they do come I to my sets it’s a wolf pee post and their feet aren’t large enough to hit the pan.

Stacking up the fur Eventually one of those yotes will hit your gear especially with you using Lennons lures. A buddy of mine was told that where a wolverine travels there is normally a yote in trail trying to get scraps. Hopefully one will bump your gear

That bit about the yotes following the wolverine makes sense on my line. At the very end of my line those two overlap quite a bit. I put a set out just for the coyote this last trip. Made a big snow mound out in the open where one had been hanging out and buried a chunk of smelly meat under the top with a #3 above it.
