Thanks you guys! I got him all skinned out for ruffs and trim for parkas. When I get wolverines most of them will be made into traditional ruffs. I make sure and split the hind legs at the longest hairs and same with the front. The legs will be stretched straight across. I am hoping to start doing my own tanning, If I can ever get a good pickling solution to ship way out here. I am grateful for a local taxidermist and fellow trapper for letting me use his workshop and equipment to handle my bigger fur. This picture is before I skinned the paws out. Don't worry, it has a tail. It's just hanging off the edge.

What he's trying to politely say is when a wolverine comes to his house it immediately becomes the property of his wife!,
Been there, done that!
Did you weigh it, Bunbun?

Sorry MT, no weight. We measure the length of the coffee stirrer in these parts.

Doesn't that only work with males? Guess they are always the larger gender!

It works with females too but the measurement always ends up being 0"

Not really. Female wolverines DO have a baubellum like the male baculum. It is just quite a bit smaller and not quite as obvious to access

So, female wolverine could, in theory, Identify as a male wolverine?


Just doing what I want now.

Update time:

Spent some good time putting in some marten boxes in on the new trail. I have about 70 out now and I plan on putting about 6-8 more in. After that I’ll focus on getting some big fur sets scattered around. I have only about a quarter of the 330 sets out that I want out and I have more footholds and snares for wolves to set. We’re still getting snow but I know I’m gonna need at least another foot or so to finish the loop. I’ve been neglecting my marten sets that are by the rivers but I’ll make sure they get some fresh bait and lure before they start moving down low again. It seems like they are hanging around in the hills and creek heads this time of the year. It’s gonna be interesting to see what happens as the season goes on. I’ve got a new video out from our last trip. Had a little mishap where my partners snowmachine fell through in a deep spot on the creek but it didn’t take too much to pull out. I usually carry some 1/2 inch rope for such occurrences but I didn’t have it this time. Anyways we made it out safe and finished setting the boxes we brought. Here’s the video if you guys want to check it out.

I appreciate you taking the time to make the videos, Glad you two were able to get out of the creek without getting wet. I gave them a thumbs up and subscribed.

Creek baptisms are never nice on snow machines.
