Best advice I can give for snaring wolverine is to set snares in places where there are other trees etc for the cable to wrap around thus shortening the snare and making for a quicker deal.

Wolverine in a leghold. so you can see what it looks like. I didn't get the growl unfortunately. This was a wolf trap.

You can hear the wolverine a little bit before Margo shoots it. The full video might be better quality,

Not better but little more of the story. Letting your wife shoot wolverine is the gentlemanly thing to do.

Bruce where I trap it’s bottomland with lots of beaver houses. Typically when a wolverine comes thru he works his way from house to house to house, so yeah. Even caught one once in a 220 over an otter hole on a dead house. Then they surprise you and just turn off at seemingly random places and leave the valley

This thread was supposed to be about snaring wolverine. About 6 minutes in to this video is where I snared a wolverine in a Thompson snare as recommended by Yukon Jeff from here on T-Man. It also really tangles up in the brush keeping it from chewing out as discussed further up in the thread.

Watching the you tube videos on line it looks like they are using the other end of the 9 wire snare holder and wrapping that around the tree with the snare swivel also tied in.Is that the usual way to tie everything off?

Everyone has there own way. The guys at Fur Harvesters taught us to double the #9 wire the twist to form a loop then your snare could tie into the loop. For lynx snares which you usually catch wolverine in. I just tie the snare to the tree with hay wire then use that wire as a support .
I can't remember how I tied and supported the Thompson snare . The loonie (Canadian Dollar) tanked after that and I never ordered any more .
