Congrats on the woof yukon, so are you saying this wolf got caught right before you got to the set? Pretty cool

STT-from where i stopped my set is 150 feet away. I saw a wolf up river from where i was sitting. It went in the woods. Then i realized my set was gone. 75 feet to the left the wolf was tangled up. The wolf upriver musta heard me coming and took off. haha i hate goggles fogging. Got the wolf skinned last night and today i boarded it. Not much marten sign on my line so i may jus start running wolf sets in my other area. Jus hoping it pays off. Next weekend i'll head out there and check out the wolf sign.

Kinda quiet on here so I'll post this. Hooked up with a coyote, could see the drag marks leaving the trail set and where he had wrapped up briefly a couple times. I walked to where it looked like he was headed, but the track stopped. I backtracked to the last catch circle, no coyote and no trail leaving. I'm thinking 'what the heck' as I walked over, thinking he must have got loose somehow. I crested the small bank and could see the drag and chain, no yote. Turns out he was about under my feet, there was a little cave where the ice had settled and left a shelf. All I could see was nose and eyeballs, just enough to administer the .22 short sleeping pill. He was quite a talker, yapping and barking at me. 'Bout froze my hands getting pics and a little video.

STT-Interesting Catch. Ice Cave Yote Trapping. I caught a buncha lynx outtta an Ice Shelf on a creek that the water dropped out. Was pretty cool. Carried a log accross and put snares and put a trap in the farest corner. Then added a bunch of bait inside. Was about 4x4x8 in size. I don't have any pictures was awhile back.

Nice Smalltime I hate it when anything gets down a hole alive or dead the retrieve can be tedious at times. Took me three hours last yr to retrieve one otter dead and frozen in about 4 feet down in a hole. I did it over two trips a couple days apart as I was pressed for time the first day

This one was pretty straight forward: bang-flop-yank. Had to be quick, it was -48 today.

Here's one from the same trail a few days earlier.



Frozen, I tried to post a pic from my iphone to alaskalist a couple weeks ago, wouldn't let me do it from there, some of apple's stupid proprietary stuff. Not sure if it's the same here, haven't tried it.

Coyotes do weird things and get themselves into situations most other things don't,.. here's one I got last year on a drag that made his way out into the middle of the Copper River,... and finally broke thru a hollow spot & fell down into a water hole & died & was half-frozen into the ice,... what a pain to get him out without damage & without me joining him,.... he was about 2-3 miles from where I caught him,...

Man Wolverine. The Copper scares the cr@p out of me in the summer. I wouldn't have the guts to go on it in the winter.

What did you have for a drag WB? Would you mind sharing your process for bedding those longsprings for canines in the snow? I'm still trying to make it work, got the peat moss working decent for coil springs, but man that double longspring can take up some room! But I have more of them than the coils, so I'd like to learn to keep snow from turning into cement around them.

I bed longsprings on a large piece of wax paper. One sheet under the trap and one sheet over the trap and under the loose jaw. I wad the wax paper up so it lays better when I use it. The key is to scoop a thin layer of snow with a tool and to set it over the trap without moving it much. If you sprinkle snow or sift it on the trap it will set up hard. Another key is to try and put sets out of wind blown snow. Wind blown snow on a set will set up hard as well. Thats how I try sets with longsprings.
