Again I'm going by what I have been reading as I have never trapped a wolverine but from what I have read and seen in videos would be a good idea to set snares in and around your set to catch the wolverine circling around or going past your set.

I haven't seen any fox, lynx, or wolverine. Plenty of coyote and early November I saw some Ermine, but I think they may have been hit by the other trappers in the area I frequent cause now all I see is hares and coyote.
Of course I haven't been searching for fox either so there may be better places to look than the spots I've seen.
Also speaking of rabbit do you guys find it weird Hare is only trappable under a hunting liscence? I just thought there was no trapping for hares at all at first but actually it's just listed under hunting, which is the only animal you can trap under hunting regulations except for grouse and ptarmigan.

I wasn’t aware that you even had to have a hunting license to trap hare. In the Alaska Hunting Regulations hare is considered a small game animal. And you don’t have to have a hunting license to hunt small game. You do need a hunting license to hunt small game, just not a specific permit. P.S. Also I'm actually GMU6. Gmu5 is over at Yakutat.

I did a check of some of my traps. Nothing was caught but a weasel stole some bait from a lynx cubby. Added more bait, so I should be good to go! How much snow do you have now?Good luck

Definitely use guide sticks. It increases your chances of the animal going thru the trap.
Have you caught anything? The only thing I've caught is a flu.

Was checking my coyote snare and a moose walker right past the stick it's hung from. If it had gone around the opposite side it would have ruined my set or worse.
Also someone stole one of my 110s. Annoying. What was it set for?
