Here is a more recent one I did before Christmas

Make yourself a frostscraper like this Ryan.
Sharpen it so there is a burr on the inside edge,sharpen from the one side only.
You will know immediately when you have the edge correct.
Could maybe drill a hole in an ulu to fit a threaded rod handle,As long as the steel can be touched up with a file should work good.

Neat. Might have to try it.

Bobby’s team gave it a good try but lost the tournament opener. Lots of puck to play yet

I just love when they make a trap look small.
I’ve seen this guys tracks a couple times so I set a trap for him on the way to the trapline. Connected.

Heck yeah! Congrats.

Ryan, have you ever had another wolverine refuse a set where you caught a male before? Do you think the scent of a large male at the trap site would make another wolverine weary?

I originally was thinking "Is that a 280?".
Awesome catch.

Went for a ridee today to make trail out to the camps and pick up my sled at the same time but instead I got 1 of 2 wolves. Couldn't cut off the one and it got to shore. Luckily the bigger of the two have me a chance and I got it. I came straight back to town to skin it. Camps and sled can wait another day

I dont think it bothers them.

Beautiful! That a wall paper pic right there!

Any wolves over there have displasea or flea problems? Making for poor fur?

Nice catch!

Good for you ,great picture .

Yup. Rare to get a nice one in the delta. Mountain wolves are always nice, maybe 1in 100 will be scruffy. I’ve let a lot go in the delta over the years just because I didn’t want to handle them.

Way to go on the wolf Ryan and that wolverine looks like a dandy.

Denning sites are in clay or peatmoss in the delta ,vs rock slides or gravel deposits in the mountains . Would that be it ?

Good ride again yesterday. I made it to both camps but didn’t attempt to get up the river banks. At least I know I can get close now without worry about overflow etc. I was running low on gas as I left the farther camp. Kept my machine in eco mode back to the geese camp. I didn’t have any extra gas there so I didn’t bother pulling my sled. I made it back to my jerry can that I left on the Mackenzie river running on fumes. As I poured the gas in I noticed some wolf tracks that weren’t there a couple hours before. I had more than enough gas again so I decided why not follow? Worst that can happen is I follow the tracks to where they enter thick trees but who knows maybe I’d catch it in the open. Didn’t take long to find where another wolf met up and they travelled together. I smelled the wolf just before I caught movement in the dark. I quickly got between the wolf and the shore and pushed it into the open. Tikka 223 did its job once again. Pretty rare to track a wolf down on the delta with all the places you can lose then but it sure is nice when it all works out

You are nailing them this year! Sure the moose appreciate it!

Sounds like you got to your fuel resupply just in time! Nice wolf.

Nice work Ryan

Ryan, our Gov. Mike Dunleavey, was in the Yukon recently. Alaska is sharing money with them to fix part of the Alaska Highway. He flew around in a chopper while there with some Yukon game managers. He was amazed at all the wildlife he saw and the places he saw them in. In particular he saw Bison up high, 8000 ft., on some mountains.
I'm wondering if you ever see Bison up in your territory?
Alaska has one stable Bison population around Delta Jct. The rest of our Bison herds are small and don't do so well. Recently lost half of a transplanted herd out in western Canada. State is working on trying to start a herd just west of Fairbanks. These are all wood Bison, except, I think, the Delta Bison are plains Bison.
