The Potlatch Canyon that runs down to Kendrick is just a half mile behind my place, used to be able to leave from my place and hunt my way into it, because Potlach Timber owned the ground behind me, but they sold it to all the Texans that have moved in and they built a bunch of houses on it and posted it all.

Without putting too fine a point on it, where are you trapping, off the Steese? I've thought about trying to hike into some drainages down here off the Rich using some of the strategies you have. Been trapping for years and still haven't caught a gulo. They are not in my area.

The good ol Wilkes brothers, burning bridges with the locals in every state they're in.

Actually these are Plowshares from down by Waco. They are buying up everything locally and moving in a few hundred of them. The Wilkes brothers are just blocking access to the southern Idaho hunters, so we are seeing a lot of them up here during hunting season now. wink

Yes, up the Steese but in a very nonchalant area others overlook.

Are you trapping up in the high country? I never had any luck down in the timber.


Lover of cheap beer, dead critters and the fatties.

I have done a lot of trapping in the flatlands and timber of the lower Nowitna, small. Always caught wolverine there. I'm surprised there aren't any where you are.

I've been in this area for a few years. I figure that if there were any wolverine around they would have at least stolen a marten or torn up a cat set at some point. I've only once seen tracks that i thought may be wolverine, that a few years ago in March.

Didnt see the Sleepy Creek 4-1/2 offset mentioned. Dont think they make them anymore but they are a great wolf/wolverine trap.


do unto others as you would have them do unto you
