How's it going out there? Traps full? Good here right now, we had a week and a half of mild weather and it really got the critters moving. Looks like we have a little snow and maybe some rain moving in later... it's all good...

Lot's of rain, warm, then a tiny bit of wet, heavy. Nothing to bring the critters to the beaches, that's for sure, (other than bears). Turning into a pretty dismal season, here.


Made it almost 3 years without censor!

Rain put most of my traps out of commission, missed a marten and a lynx, triggers froze to pan and never fired. Reset them and added a snare. Going to work on my rig tomorrow, used my sister's rig to check after work today, missed a pack of wolves, fresh tracks about nine fanned out, all pulled together and ran.

It's been a weird mild winter here. Last year we had snow up the wazoo and this year practically none. A nice cold snap would be welcome about now. Hope things get better for you guys, it's not over yet!

Just had our cold snap here starting a couple days ago, been in the 20s for a few weeks, rained for a few days earlier this week, finally went down to 15 and 20 below yesterday and today. Hopefully we don't receive any more rain. Need to set more for marten and lynx. Hopefully will connect with otters too, have yet to catch them and wolves. I'll probably have to take some time off next week to set out traps. After work the past few days, one of my short trail line I have smelled wolverine and even tasted it in my mouth, at first thought I got one and got excited. Went in and found nothing in my traps but still smelled and tasted it. Yesterday did the same thing. Nothing in my traps though. I figured it either lived close by or it died. Today couldn't smell it. Must have been watching from one of the trees close by.

Funny you should say that. I frequently know when I have a fox before I see it if the wind is right. I can smell fox pee from a mile away...lol! Good luck on your wolverine!

cool, have gotten three so far, hopefully more will fall to my traps. One got educated, was traveling in a pair and got one of them, the other one say what happened and didn't want to stick it's head in any of my bgs. Could smell a lot of animals, comes in hand when hunting moose, or beluga. Usually smell fur animals too while out the country. Use the smell to locate caribou too.

Went out yesterday and harvested a cow moose with a friend. Darned if we didn't see a young Brown Bear. He was laying down by the river we were traveling on eating on a gut pile. We drove up to about 40 yards away and he just stood his ground. Snapping his lips. The sat back down and started eating. We got a little closer on machines and he walked off. Pretty cool seeing it. Pretty small bear. Maybe a yearling. Must have gotten water logged in his den in last weeks warm weather.

Greg I'll match your nasty catch with this one.....

Worst smelling (not to mention looking) critter I have had the displeasure to catch a whiff of in a while.

That is nasty looking...lol! At least mine didn't smell that bad. I have caught some good fur this year but several that don't qualify as 'good fur'. I hope Gomer Pyle is looking for donations again this year for his outdoor youth program. I got 'em.

Even a mangy mutt looks better than those two Ken!

Picked up some good critters last week or so. Got a few that won't make it in the fur trade though...
Three pigosaurases...

This red was hit by an eagle and torn up inside. Talon punctures in the back but no serious fur damage.




Very agitated and standing in a mud puddle... He actually cleaned up pretty good.


Nice pale cross...

What the heck is that in the second to last picture???? Looks like something from Lord of the Rings.

That one actually cleaned up pretty good. Was very agitated and standing in a mud puddle when I got to him. I added a description/ caption to the pic to describe his bad day.
