A good trapping/antlering partner is a blessing. I've got a good one, we were helping each other get unstuck today a few times, deep snow, warm temperatures. Got a moose, retrieved a broken down snowmachine, found 5 antlers, gave a lift to another feller who broke down that we bumped into. Do you know Michael Forss, the Pastor of Lighthouse Baptist Church, in Unalakleet? Couldnt agree more! Glad to hear you got a moose, I used to love winter moose hunting dont think its open here. I believe I bumped into him one time at the post office but would not say I know him. He is relatively new in town correct, I am as well.

Yes, he just moved there about a year ago. He grew up in Palmer, trapped over there pre-marriage. Friends of ours.

Thanks those clamps look great, bearcat I plan on using an old phone and hard wiring it to that battery with a charger sort of like I did with my old GPS. I wired in a thumb warmer and put it on the back of my GPS for warmth, worked great!
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

I wired in a thumb warmer and put it on the back of my GPS for warmth, worked great! Thanks for the idea, Ill probably do that as well. That is some neat country, I caribou hunted up at the end of North River with Tim Towarak. We went up over the ridge and into the mountains and came across 25 or so freshly dead caribou in one spot, I asked him what killed these, he said wolves. They didnt eat anything ? he said they sometimes they just eat the tongues. You could see they just killed for fun. No humans had been there yet that year, so they were not shot. Lots of wolves and wolverines there. It is really beautiful country. Wish the caribou still came down this far!

Good country back there alright. I,m on the other side the valley from you in Chiroskey. Seem like the weather has been hindering animal movement the past couple weeks, hopefully since it's nice out now they'll start moving. Nice to see that you're taking an interest in trapping this country, but keep in mind what land you are on. Lots of native allotments in that country. Also at the store and post office bullitens there is a flyer about allowing only UNC shareholders taking fur on UNC lands.
For sure! Thats a big part of the maps I look at while traveling, just like during moose season. Definitely agree with the weather patterns too. Are you trapping with LA I had heard he was trapping up Chiroskey this year.
