Does anyone make a snare all set up for wolverine?Books on snaring wolverine?Here in Maine we are only allowed to use snares for beaver under the ice.I'm new to snaring.Looking thru archives not seeing much.I'm finding wolf snares.Do I just use a certain type wolf snare?Are ram power snares any good?

Watching this one. I've only ever snared beaver under ice and a couple wolves, snares have never been my go to. Trying to get better at it though

Ted Hanson makes snares for Wolverine. If you email or call him he well set you up.

We use tip ups on them basically we make a cubby and put a 5 or 750 in it and on trail coming in we put a tip up . We have gotten a few this way but mainly get them in wolf sets .

Great photo

Thank you

If you need some Wolverine snares I can build you some. Or send pics of how to do it pretty easy. We build them with 9 gage wire and 7/32 with a swivel most of are Wolverine snaring is done on a Pole so when caught they hang . If on ground there is a good chance they will twist out . Will take pic this weekend while out . If snaring on ground we use 9 wire and 7/64 and anchor highly as you can get . We try not to snare them on ground. We have found most are Wolverine follow the wolves most the time wolves come through the Wolverine are there next trip . So when we catch wolves we set up Wolverine stuff because we know there coming.

Your best bet is a 330 we have experimented with buckets, boxes and cubbies . The best one we have found is a old rust 30 gallon drum we found on line it seems the have know probably putting there head in it we’re they will refuse others this one drum produces a huge portion of are Wolverine we have other sets near it but they constantly go to the drum. Our you can just put them in a sleeper hold I have personal done it saving a friend from eminent attack.

Thanks.I'm thinking about using my old fisher sets with straight up and down trees and evergreen boughs about 2 to 3 feet high with 330 belisles and snares on poles and on the ground around the sets.Any pictures or information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.I'm toying with my old fisher sets with straight up and down trees with evergreen boughs 2 to 3 feet off the ground and 330 belisles.I will make a set up and post some pictures.

I like snares on poles but you have to be certain that the cable is not long enough that they can get their feet on the ground. They really like to spin and twist

Well, if you are spending all that time and money, I would suggest footholds. There is much more drama with one caught that way. And the sound of their "growl" will stay with you for life. Not a true growl, but not a grunt, either. You have to hear it to understand.
Oh, and no matter how you catch them, they won't have the nose crinkled, lips thrown back, full-dental exposure that so many taxidermists seem to prefer.

Not a few taxis do that with bears too.

Maybe what you're thinking of is that huff/grunt combo wolverines do ? It is different to describe in words.

Would love to hear one.A wolverine would be my crowning achievement of my outdoor career.

With bears most taxidermist spread their claws to far apart as well.

Spot on, Sharon. You too, Bruce. I will be rooting for you. I will share a true story:
Years ago, we held an auction here on this site, (with Paul's blessing, of course), to conduct a study involving wolverine. We had fantastic participation, with members donating all things trapping, hunting, and fishing, but the crown jewel was a trapping expedition with our very own White 17, a world-renowned wolverine trapper, and famous homesteader!
If memory serves, the winning bid was indeed high 4 figures, (a bargain by any measure), and included 10 days in the bush, (weather permitting), use of traps, bait, lure, a remote cabin, White's crayons, and
hand's-on advice of White 17 himself.
Well, the lucky bidder not only scored many marten, fox, and I forget what else, at the end of the trip, (it might have even been the last check), he got his wolverine!
\ Man, that was something.
I'm sure many current members will remember that.

I still kick myself every day to this day for not having the money at the time to bid.

Still waiting for another of those trips to come up again....lol

Hey AV, I just looked and that story is still in the archives. Great Alaskan Adventure;Combined. Great read from my memory

Now I have to go read it again and kick myself some more

Yep what a adventure.

alright! I get to read it again, as well!

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.

330 is the best way though.

Thanks.I'm thinking about making sets where I can do just that around the sets.

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

How you act when you catch a wolverine in a leghold. same wolverine had to make two videos. I got new computer now.

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.

What happens when you forget your camera and snare a wolverine

Nic videos muskrat411.Thanks for sharing them with me.

That lynx and wolverine catch a few feet apart is awesome.All nice catches and hunt.

I snared a couple beaver in that creek. After that animals kept hanging around so i set up some snares must have caught 6 lynx and that wolverine.

Nice.I heard that wolverine go around beaver houses and are a good place to trap for them.

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.

Another nice video.Thank you so much for sharing.

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 .

Thanks

This is the method Fur Harvesters showed us for hanging wolf snares. same idea should work for wolverine snares just cut he wire shorter

This is making the snares for wolverine just cut the wire shorter. Sorry for calling the ferrels cam locks.

Thank you.Great videos and information.
