Had just barely made it into wolf country when I high centered my car on a snow drift. An hour of digging and calling in a truck to give me a boost got me free no worse for wear except for my pride. Ate up all my remaining daylight though. Anyways, it wasn't all for not cause I got this photo as a souvenir.

Wolf country, in Alaska, in a car. Ring on pointer finger. Lol

It's got all wheel drive and I got it for a good price. My last vehicle was totaled by a moose about seven months ago and I had to get what was available in my price range.

Also if you think my ring is funny now you'll find it way funnier that it used to live on my thumb, I just moved it cause it was rubbing against my knife when I was skinning.

That does not sound like fun.I got to have my 4x4 pickup truck.I would be lost without it.

So you are left handed?

Lol!

Hopefully a truck will be in the budget soon! Good luck with the wolf hunt!

Wow

Nah right handed, it's just that my left pointer finger is the only other finger it fits.


Can't come soon enough. How many beavers does it take to get a new truck? Lol

I bet your car is a Subaru!!

Good for you. There was a time I trapped out of station wagon. If the desire is there, feed it.

You guess right. It does great on ice and snow but it's only got about 4 inches of clearance. Not much in the way of trunk space either, but it was shy of 100k miles and in my price range. Gets me to work just fine.

but not to wolf country...

Sorry about that. I got stuck twice this year out of stupidity and it ruined my couple days off

I actually thought the road was blocked at first cause the snow drifts were so big.

I made it over three of these before high centering myself in about a foot of snow that had been hard packed until the sun weakened it enough to drop my car through.

I wish you successful wuff hunt the next time you. Good luck!!

Great effort! "Never know until ya go". keep at em!

My Subaru Forester has 9.5 inches of clearance, and has four winter treads with metal studs. I was checking traps last weekend on roads that were totally iced over. You couldn’t stand up outside the car. The Subie never slid or spun, even on the hills.

I guess you just moved to AK?……lol.
Google price on a car or not, what good is it? Might as well bought a Tesla.
Hang some snares and set some steel if you can, they hunt 24/7.
Wolf hunting is a very different game. There’s outfitters that do one week hunts, and some don’t advertise their success rates…..and they’re set up well….lol
Never give up, and it never hurts to alway be packin. If I had you packin that 45, we would’ve had that wolf I saw the other week…lol

YESSS!!
I drove a Subaru wagon a couple years on the trapline. I bought it cheaper than I could have bought a 4 wheeler. Even pulled ATV trailer behind it sometimes. Only problem I had was blood running down both front and back windows from "luggage" carrier on top. lol Other than that it ever missed a beat.

Be prepared for ADC if he see's you came out of the closet BB.
