Learning alot watching you tube videos.Looking like what I thought heavy evergreen cover on lake and river edges.Beaver ponds,houses,dam crossings.I'm going to guess and say along stream edges and ravines going up into the mountains,rock formations,saddles,etc. would also be good areas.

If I had to go by just topography and drainages......I would concentrate on beaver houses. Also confluences of two drainages.

However. IMO the single best place to set for wolverine is where you see tracks or have seen tracks in the past. In my experience........... generations of wolverines will use the same route through the neighborhood as their parents and grandparents did before them.

I have a few spots on my line where I have taken wolverines year after year. You may not notice it but oftentimes wolverine will drag across a low bush or small tree as they are traveling. In so doing they are scent marking that trail. I am convinced that those deposits can be smelled and re-marked by subsequent generations of wolverines.

So even if the tracks you find are "old".........make a set there anyway.

EDIT: Porcupine dens are a close second to beaver houses as attractants .......IMO so if you know where a couple of those might be..........that might be worth setting.
