I paid for my fur the same day as Fish. I keep going to the P.O. to find a nice pile of fur, but there is not a box to be found. frown

Fish, did you get your Gulo taxidermy tanned?

I could have emailed or called you, but I wanted to post this bit of information. My taxidermist told me if you plan on ever getting something mounted and it's taxi tanned, you should put it in the freezer. The freezing stops all aging of the tan. FWIW.

Important and true kusko. I was also told Taxi's can test the p.h. to see if it is still mountable. I learned this when I sent in a Wolverine for a full life size mount. The hide had been tanned for a year and wanted to tear in a few areas when stretched. It all worked out but I was stretching it so to speak.

Yote. Nothing special, just showing his handiwork. Only there a day or two and wore himself out with his antics, would hardly stand up to say hi when I counted coup.

Well STT on the bright side, the drag left a mark... #9 or 750?

I'd like to figure out how to keep those yotes from messing up a perfectly good set.

Seems to be a jag of them this year- the fox, cats, and marten.

Just got back from a deer hunt in PWS a day or two ago,... so am running a week behind in getting underway with my regular trapping this winter. But, since we were out there on the islands when the trapping season opened, I took a few traps along, hoping to pick up a few mink & otters as well as my winter's steak supply,... grin


Took my Mokai along so I could run around on my own & set a few traps while deer hunting


Dropped a nice little buck right off the bat,...




But it can be a real pain when you hit the beach on a 19' high tide trying to get your boat drug back to the water at low tide,... crazy




No mink where we hunted, but set a half dozen 330's for otters, and did ok with that,...





Only had one day of partly cloudy skies,... and had a nice sunset that evening,...





Ended up with 8 otters in 4 days with 6 traps,...






Everyone always wants big antlers,... but the young does make eating that's 2nd to none,...




Threw the Mokai on the back deck,... then we always have to get our butt's kicked on the way back,... but it's always a fun and good way to get some of the best eating (IMO) and the best bait for trapping,... so now I can get to business,.... grin

Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

Nice, gotta love the sound for untrapped area and decent deer populations.


I love to trap!

Great pics! Looks like a fun trip. I just got back from a desert mule deer hunt in Arizona. Here is a pic of the monster buck I shot on day 6...
