This weather is horrible. Glad you are able to keep your sets working in this crud.

Ran yesterday, left the house just as it started snowing and finished running with it still coming down. Perfect 1-3inches enough to hide my track Picked up another cross, 2 mink and the worlds smallest ermine





Put in a bunch more otter gear and hoping things start moving now that it is a little cooler.

Be safe out there guys!

Way to go.

Got lucky and picked up a moose off the trapper list. Poor girl was all skin and bone.



Picked up a nice yote on todays run. Dropped a bunch more gear and saw plenty of track.



A chinook blew in, wind is howling and the temp is at +38n right now, Hope it dont last long!

Be safe out there guys!

Nice coyote.Moose for bait?

I'm pretty sure I saw her on the side of the highway, glad someone got to put her to use. Nice yodel dog

Dang that's a nice chunk of bait HFT ! Hope the wx cooperates and you get to put it to good use !!

Yeah Bruce a bait moose. Looks like old girl keeled over right beside the road which was nice for a easy recovery. If the troopers don't know what killed it they call fish and game and they contact a trapper to pick it up. Slow year which honestly aint a bad thing, our moose numbers are pretty down after the past few hard winters.

Timber Tramp picked her up on Willow Fishhook, Hatcher Pass.

Chikenminer I been using sheep/goat/ and pig guts, that's all I could score so far this year so the bait stations are pretty slim., only running 3 this year. Going to wait till it cools back down before I top them off so the fang birds dont wipe me out!

Very nice

Nevermind then, the one I saw was at zero lake a few days ago. It probably went to the trapper list too, looked like a semi got her.

The South Central Chapter of the Alaska Trapping Association (SCCATA) Has some pretty good classes coming up next month with some dang good knowledgeable instructors!! Please help get the word out!

Well it has been a pretty rough month here. The weather has not been cooperative at all when it comes travel or trapping. The fluctuation in temps and rain has been my nemesis this year for sure. After the last wind storm we had this greeted me at my trail head.................



This pic was taken last week, since then we have had more rain and temps in the high 30's low 40's. Running on ice is pretty hard on my body to say the least! Some areas I am running on bare tundra.



Have picked up a little fur.







You can't beat seeing sun rises like this..........



Or seeing seed for next year



Keyo did a wolverine fur handling class for the South Central Chapter ATA. his put up skills are pretty dang impressive!



Ken Soik did a presentation on putting up marten for the chapter as well. Hands down the way he does it makes me wonder how many top lot certificates he has gotten over the years



Got all my fur turned in for the Fur Rondy auction!



Hoping we get colder weather here soon and maybe some snow.

Be safe out there!

Nice assorted bunch of fur.

Looks great, John.

Its been one crazy winter John, good to see you are still connecting with some fur here and there.

Well the weather that blew in really did a number on my gear, Never thought I would see flooding in freaking January! I have a bunch of gear that I am not going to be able to find until brake up,


+50 and rain,,,,,,,,,,,,



Was able to recover some gear, by dang.......



Did manage to pick up a few yotes




Caught this little female. Good pad catch, in a hayset, Her fur was pretty rough and rubbed, Let her go for seed for next year



Had this guy habging around the end of my driveway for a few days



Someimes you just got to stop and enjoy the moment



Been closing up gear. With Fur Rondy and a bunch of other events fast approaching I need to change focus.

Be safe out there guys!

Nice pics and catches. Strange weather and conditions here all winter too. Two weeks ago there was 3 feet of snow on the rivers by my camp. Last trip there was glare ice in those spots. Deep overflow with just enough ice to travel. The same kind I sank the bearcat in a few years back. Your Last picture would make a good puzzle.

Nice fox

What a crazy comparison of your line to mine John and we are not that many miles apart. Chipping traps out is no fun, I usually damage the trap and my axe.

Nice bunch of fur HFT.
That sure is some odd weather,a mid winter thaw.
I pulled a few traps today and had a lynx in a marten box.
SHT happens as they say.
