I hate the weather we get nowadays.
Cannot count on the ice conditions from one week to another unlike in the past.
Spent half an hour getting the bike out of deep water when it broke thru the ice.
Lucky I wasnt too far from the truck and was able to use my loading ramp to get the bike back on top after busting a bunch of ice with the axe.
Was a good workout and lucky I had my hip wasders on-the water was near 3 feet deep where the bike broke thru.

That's never fun. Although the bikes do float better than a snowmachine and are usually easier to get out in that deep of water. And yes I've used ramps in the same way, also to cross narrow strips of open water or where a culvert washed out.

Yes bearcat,these fording locations on the line only become a problem at freeze up time.Once frozen no problem,and when open also not much of an issue.In between-big problem when you get halfway out and break thru.
Over the years I have had the same problem with the truck on some back roads,but always carried the chainsaw and was able to cut the ice to get across
In spring when its open but there is still a snowpack the 550 tundra will skip across the open water spots without issue.

Where culverts have been removed or washed out we generally will build a bike bridge with the chainsaw.The trapper as well as local hunters will help to maintain the temporary bike bridges.

Looks like a good year for the little buggers.Lots of fur and game of all kinds out there this year.
Our dry summer must have bode well in the rearing of the young in the bush.
Although early,my marten ratio stands at 7 to 1 (juv+adult males to adult females).
Over 20 weasels 3 fisher and 16 marten in 3 weeks out of 25 boxes.And 3 cats out of 1 jackpot and 1 cat out of about 6 trailsnares.
Might be worth running some longer lines this year once I start using the snowmachine.

When you set these boxes are you specifically targeting ermine? Or are they being set for ermine or martin?

Ermine marten and fisher.
Waxing the 120s allows me to catch all the ermine that visit.
If I wanted to just catch ermine and exclude marten and fisher I would install an access plate in front of the box and recess the 120 to function unimpeded by the access plate.

Awesome pics! Did that red fox climb the tree to get to the box on a horizontal log?
