We should put in for a Bell River Field trip again. This time we actually have a fair idea where to go. Go see 300 moose and 75 wolves.

Picked up another beav in the same trap two nights ago. I didn't check yesterday because I was very sick. Probably go take a look later his evening. Two weeks until trapping season starts guys. got a good pile of bait ready to go.

season opens at midnight. When me and Fiona were just starting our family I would head out right after midnight with a pocket full of my kids candy and set 7-8 traps. Money was tighter back then and fur trapping has helped us out a lot over the years in our finances. Many a Christmas was paid for with fur. My plan for saturday/sunday is to set 84 traps. Marten and wolverine to get started.

Good morning all. Its November 5th and i dont have a single fur yet. I Must be getting old. Me and my partner had plans to get started this past weekend but i got sick from Friday evening until Monday morning. Healed up just in time for work.
I was unsure when i would get out again as my work schedule is busy with last minute FALL stuff. Luckily the schedule has opened up and I have a free weekend coming up so the plan is to take off Saturday morning with 106 traps and the tent. Full speed ahead.
Once i get a bunch of gear out of the warehouse and have some room then me and my boy will make a pile of 1/16 snares and set up for the foxes around town until the lynx are priming up then we'll set for them too. He's pretty excited and is constantly watching for tracks on every truck ride we have taken lately. Fox is what i first had success with at a young age but when the prices dropped i realized i didnt like skinning fox very much. I still think a well handled fox is one of the nicest looking pelts and i love the variety in colors. Its going to be a fun busy season.

It dropped up that bank a ways but it was down hill so I just pulled it down to where it was clean on the snow.

Nice caribou

Got 108 traps and a tent set on Saturday. We hauled wood and boiled up some wolf gear on Sunday then started back to the truck this morning picking up 10 marten and a freshly caught wolverine. First catch in the new Belisle 280 for me. Very good trap.

Thats a great first trip out. Amazing to me that you can get so many sets out in one day.

Very nice catch, I'm hoping for some more snow to open up some more country for me.

Still no neck markings, probably the highlight of the You Tube video?

Ill check the neck markings later. usually if theyre anything special id notice but didnt see much on this one. No good camera for youtube anymore and im not interested in wasting much daylight recording anything. Havent heard of anyone trapping bombardier.
