Hopefully the bears kept them off when it was wet and gooey...I have heard of fox around here living inside of a whale carcase,
if they get it in the fur bad they are pretty much worthless.

Weren't there a couple of whales that washed up a month or two ago? I don't recall the particulars, but saw a blurb in our local rag about it.


Made it almost 3 years without censor!

Yep, there was one out on Spruce Cape and another on Chiniak. These remnants weren't real close to either, but the way the tides and winds move stuff around here it's quite possible it's from one of them. I had another slim lock fail today that cost me a cross fox. He left a heck of a catch circle and twisted off. I haven't lost one like that in more than 20 years. Should have been dead. Good news is I had another one (silver)caught which jumped off a cut bank and hung itself soundly. New locks came in the mail today. Time to get busy.

Thanks all, she's a beaut. Built up a couple dozen new snares with the BMI mini locks to replace those I already have out with the slim locks. I'll switch them as I go and replace the locks on the others. I don't know if I should send them back to the shop or just pitch 'em. It would be nice to know why they aren't doing the job. I only have a few left of last years and they are set out, but I'll compare when I bring them in.

Happy B-day to your wife Thomas! Yep it's a little chilly, but I like it... it keeps the riff raff in town... lol!

Well technically... kinda... grin
Back in the mid 90's they used to show old movies of Kodiak back 75 or more years ago on the public channel. One of the movies had clips of a fox farmer releasing a bunch of silvers somewhere here. Must have had a market crash or something. Sure made things interesting!

No she's afraid to get an accurate age on me. She'd feel guilty

How's she doing? She doesn't get on here as much as she used too. You must be working the poor girl too hard.
