Ran yesterday, left the house just as it started snowing and finished running with it still coming down. Perfect 1-3inches enough to hide my track smile Picked up another cross, 2 mink and the worlds smallest ermine smile

Put in a bunch more otter gear and hoping things start moving now that it is a little cooler.

Be safe out there guys!

Yeah Bruce a bait moose. Looks like old girl keeled over right beside the road which was nice for a easy recovery. If the troopers don't know what killed it they call fish and game and they contact a trapper to pick it up. Slow year which honestly aint a bad thing, our moose numbers are pretty down after the past few hard winters.

Timber Tramp picked her up on Willow Fishhook, Hatcher Pass.

Chikenminer I been using sheep/goat/ and pig guts, that's all I could score so far this year so the bait stations are pretty slim., only running 3 this year. Going to wait till it cools back down before I top them off so the fang birds dont wipe me out!

Nevermind then, the one I saw was at zero lake a few days ago. It probably went to the trapper list too, looked like a semi got her.

Well it has been a pretty rough month here. The weather has not been cooperative at all when it comes travel or trapping. The fluctuation in temps and rain has been my nemesis this year for sure. After the last wind storm we had this greeted me at my trail head.................

[Linked Image]

This pic was taken last week, since then we have had more rain and temps in the high 30's low 40's. Running on ice is pretty hard on my body to say the least! Some areas I am running on bare tundra.

[Linked Image]

Have picked up a little fur.

You can't beat seeing sun rises like this..........

[Linked Image]

Or seeing seed for next year smile

[Linked Image]

Keyo did a wolverine fur handling class for the South Central Chapter ATA. his put up skills are pretty dang impressive!

[Linked Image]

Ken Soik did a presentation on putting up marten for the chapter as well. Hands down the way he does it makes me wonder how many top lot certificates he has gotten over the years smile

[Linked Image]

Got all my fur turned in for the Fur Rondy auction!

[Linked Image]

Hoping we get colder weather here soon and maybe some snow.

Be safe out there!
