Good last run. Done with marten for another year.

Ryan that's a very nice way to finish up the Martin season I'd say !

The cabins appear to be ready and waiting for you and the snow load didn't damage the roofs which is a good thing .

The first of many grizzly bears already came out of its den down in Yellowstone National Park I'm sure it won't be long before you see the same .

The concrete jungle. Down in the city for work this week. Going to the oilers-stars game tomorrow then flying home and heading straight out to the hunting grounds on Friday

Went and checked cabelas but they didn’t have the rifle I was planning to buy

I mounted this 4-12 diamondback HD on my tikka the night before flying down

That is a culture shock I bet. Nice to get to the big city every now and then, but I always look forward to getting home. I've found Cabelas to be lacking in a lot of things these days, unfortunately. I'm glad you get to do some pucking around every now and then, enjoy the game!

Culture shock for sure. I lived here when I was 18 but man have things changed. Lot more crazies nowadays. My dad will be passing through tomorrow so he got us a couple tickets. Looking forward to watching a good hockey game

Looks like your boys pulled out the win, even got to see a McDavid goal. Hope you had a good time!

Yup. Great game. Jamie Benn was invisible out there for Dallas and Tyler Seguin is injured. Oilers were playing good though and hustling hard so they deserved that win. They need someone to stick up for McDavid. That knee on knee hit he took could’ve been way worst but he shook it off. Can’t be letting guys run your star player like that. Bought $100 worth of 50-50 tickets but no luck. Some lucky person is 885k richer tonight. Now I’m chilling in my hotel with an early flight in the morning. By this time tomorrow I’ll be a cabin somewhere waiting for daylight

Delayed the trip until morning. I sure found out that I don’t like the city or the city food. Couldn’t wait to get home and eat my kind of grub

I like to get out of town a bit but noting beats that moment you walk back into your own house! You got to see a good hockey game.

Last wolverine of the season, or are you still trapping up your way?

As always, beautiful scenery!

I’ll still shoot them in the mountains or on the coast for a few more weeks. This one was still 100% prime. We were heading towards 3 wolves on a gut pile and this guy came out of the creek. I could’ve got him right away but I wanted a chance at one of the two black wolves. Unfortunately they made it into the trees. Happy my buddy Brandon shot his first wolverine though. 👌🏽 We were scouting that evening. Seeing lots of caribou up high. Finally got our chance at a lower much on Sunday evening at 730. 12 caribou, a very high mountain to get down with rapidly fading daylight and a wind picking up and starting to drift made an excellent adventure.

Old caribou corral from long long ago. Perfect notch on top of a high mountain. Smart use of terrain and “scarecrows” to funnel entire herds into a corral with people doing the herding. Always cool to see and I have always especially liked this spot because of the history. Standing there you can only imagine the excitement of a good kill when survival depended on it. I always think maybe some year was pretty lean and 1 decent herd came along in time to get meat and skins put away for the winter. Thinking of everyone doing their part, having things work out and seeing the caribou end up in the corral. If that doesn’t get you exited to be a subsistence (or any) hunter, man I don’t know what will.

This last picture is the entrance. Entrance direction is right to left. The second picture is looking toward the bottom end. You can see a few posts still standing in the second picture too and Of course part of the corral itself in the first picture

Two more from this year to finish and a bunch of other fur to get taken care of in the next couple weeks. Might go wolf Hunting this weekend. Still not sure. Works has been busy. Free time has been busy. slowly putting winter away and getting ready for spring and all the fun that comes with it.

5 and a half months old and already looking like he’s saying “Go ahead and try.” My big pup. Sure is getting strong.

Nice pictures and stories to go with them , I really enjoy seeing the corral places like that are good to know about and to continue to use.

I'll bet that pup is a real character ! The collection of wolverines will make some great collars and cuffs with very nice color to them .

Lets GO Brandon!!

Ran into Brandon on Cache Creek yesterday he was skinning 5 caribou. travelled back to AK with him, stopped and fixed up trail camera on the way home.

Brandon Firth I mean this time.

Ryan I enjoyed the corral pictures . Read of them in Samuel Hearne's story of his trip to the Coppermine river from Hudson Bay in 1770 . Thank you for post .
