Anyway a heck of a day and great way to end the season We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve

The first wolverine I picked up this season had a fresh cut across its left eye and a few other cuts on its face. Ended up picking up another male a week later about 2-3 miles away, figured the two of them had tangled with each causing the injuries to the one.

I'm sure they have disagreements over feeding rights from time to time. Cool catch.

After that no more beaten up wolverine. I figure he just beat up every young male he bumped into If you take care of the land the land will take care of you
