Compare the hair on this animal to the one just above this. That's the main difference between a winter and a fall specimen

Another nice one

Nice mount white17.I just want to harvest a wolverine.One with a prime full winter pelt would be nice but a wolverine in the hand is better then 12 in the brush

I noticed that too, in his posted shot. That one looks very skimpy. . Like a summer fox compared to a primed one.

I have the shot of the gorgeous spotted mount , after the marten. And a couple others like this one. The man who trapped it sent me the pic when he first got it , holding it in his arms with a smile. There have been a lot of good advice from Alaskan trappers on this. Heeding their wisdom is another subject.

I get it.Got to decide my options.Right now I have never harvested a wolverine.I appreciate all the help.

Another alternative would be to get flown out somewhere with a wall tent, stove chain saw and a few 330's and snares. Chances of stepping on someones toes would be slim doing it that way. Give yourself a month and you might have a chance of catching one.....in decent habitat.

ADF&G has records of all wolverines caught, and in what game management unit. At least you could narrow it down a bit as to where you might want to set up

Thanks.If I end up trying to trap one I was planning on a month or 2.Good information.Really appreciate it.

If I do make the caribou hunt next year the plan now is do do alot of scouting for areas to trap wolverine.Going to hike back into a couple areas I have in mind if I can.

That would be your best bet. You might also want to lay eyes on your gut pile(s), on your way to scouting, trapping. A big "bait" like that will attract animas. However, birds will likely be on it, so avoid traps too close to it.

Thanks alaska viking.Another must for me will be stopping at Teds fur shed also.

Say hi to Ted for me. And if you can, get him to talk trapping with you, (shouldn't be hard). I'm sure he has stories you would enjoy.

Will do

At the MTA meeting today I bought 2 belisle 330's at $20 each

Thank you

That's a good buy, I'd have cleaned house if they'd let you

There was only 2

Dang. Still a good deal. Buy one get one for $5 basically

Learning alot watching youtube videos.For example seeing how to anchor the snares.Seeing habitat they are in,etc.

Mr.Simple catches quite a few gulo, goes by enigmaticgwitchin on here and YouTube. Nice guy, and a good trapper. I'm sure he could offer some wisdom

Audrey Magoun gave a talk on wolverines at the ATA meeting last Tuesday. She is a good source of knowledge on wolverine. Be aware of trapping seasons. Some close as early as Feb. 28. Western Alaska open till Apr. 15.
You're looking at a pretty expensive undertaking.
I'll repeat my previous suggestion. Guided trapping. Maybe Gwitchen would take you out??
