I'm planning on getting a bunch of No BS DPs cuz they're actually pretty affordable and plus they come with those replica wolf fang anchors

Yeah those are nice but you end up spending ALOT of time trying to get them out when the time comes to pull the fangs if you have hard ground, round here I have to dig them up they hold so well. I pulled one out by hand and it was staked in a creek so that’s why I was able to get it out. I tried cable extensions and they are great if you have cinder blocks or big chunks of metal or trees around

Yeah, I have AuSable cable stakes for my yote traps and I ain't getting them out til spring!

The biggest thing we can catch around here is wolves. When you set a trap or snare for them, you better have it tied down tight or they will snap small chain and wire. They have been known to deform a #5 foothold trap to unusable shapes! One of my friends had a wolves break a 1/4” quick-link that was tack welded to a chain. Wolverine are almost just as bad. My grandpa had a Wolverine in a 330 hold right behind the head, and it still fought enough to break 9 gauge wire before dying 25 feet away.

Sheesh, strong critters

Yep!

Wowza!

But when you trap marten, you barely have to tie the wire down because they don’t fight much. (Especially if their head get caught inside a 120 coni )

I used to not stake down conis at all and I never had a problem with it but I started doing it for my business so I didn’t lose and ghogs, the traps I use are so big tho that like if it don’t kill them they can’t go anywhere

They ain’t that big of a trap, only 220

220 is a decent size trap.

Do you have marmots in where you live Husky?

set some mouse traps today because the mice are eating all my bait and there’s hundreds back there, last year I trapped over 50 mice in the back of my property.

I have only seen two in the past 4 years. They are around, but very rare.

Well caught a skunk in a cage trap that’s uncovered and very big so he was spraying everywhere when I got about 50 yards away from him. Not sure how I’m going to take care of him but I will think of something

Best to let them rest for a few hours before approaching it again. It's probably over tired from being up all night trying to get out of the trap. Let them sleep it off for a few hours, then you should be able to approach it. I've do this in the past and the second time around the skunk was much calmer and easier to deal with.

Skunks…

Yep that’s what I did. He is taken care of now

anyone remember northerntrappero? you still around NTO? pulling back them 70 LB bows? where did ya go?

He is still around methinks
