Yes, one of the gut trucks that take the scraps to the bio dry plant left the top open briefly and dozens of them piled in. They rescued around thirty and something like thirty more smothered as they piled on top of each other.

That is cooool. Was it accessible somehow? Bridge. For a couple hundred bucks you could of brought a pack raft back for some adventure!!
Thanks for sharing WB. Entertaining as always.
Speaking of entertaining. I am sitting in the Penn Air departure area in Anchorage airport. The flight to Dutch is getting ready to board.
Talk about a diverse ethnic experience. Headed to McGrath to check out Barbs Skunk mittens. ;0)

Looks like someone has been over there by the looks of the snogo tracks.

Yep, I know that I'm being watched more than I know,... as we all are. As far as the "rest of the story" goes,... that lynx was already hand-cuffed,... (as Kusko hinted at, by seeing my trail in the last 2 pictures). At least twice tho in my life, I can remember seeing a lynx like this at a set on the wrong side of the river, and came back later only to have an eaten rabbit in my trap,... so I always have to wonder a little. On this particular trail, I run the river up,.. circumvent a big lake, then cross it just below (to the left) of the first shot,.. then follow a trail thru the woods back. Here's the same cat at the set when I came back later that day after crossing the river. I just shoot right across the open water,... it never freezes here even at -50° or colder. Keeps all the sane people from following my trail,... grin





Had an ok run that day,....

How do you go about dispatching with that long chain WB. Must make it interesting. Whats your method?
Quite a mixed bag of animals there.
What kind of milage you getting out of the this ACE.

Since you don't pull a sled, how do you tie all those on the snow machine to bring back? That's the pic I want to see, I just vision a stack of dead critters tied on the hood like rednecks do deer. grin

My go-to set for the most part anymore is the pee-post. It works so good for me, is so fast & easy to make, can be made absolutely anywhere, and it catches everything,... what more does a person want? No lures to contaminate me & gear, no bait to pack around & attrack birds & other unwanted stuff, no CD's, flagging, tinsel & other trash to hang up,... everything in that last picture was caught in a pee-post except the marten. I use natural urines from many of the lynx, otherwise I buy meat-fed coyote urine w/glycerine added,... doesn't freeze until close to 0°F. With a few variations, I've turned this set into a killer wolverine set, when all they do is circle & rob baited cubbies & snap traps. Even if I get urine spilled or smell on my gloves, etc,... they're not contaminated like they would be with any other type of lure, etc. Sometimes when I'm setting up a wolf-kill area, I'll rub the bottom of my boots in urine just to be sure I'm not importing any bad smells. I definitely also use other types of sets too, depending on situations,, but my pee-posts make me think at times that I'm almost cheating,... cause they don't stand a chance.

This first picture shows one that is still like I made it,.. the red circle shows where the trap was,... pretty simple,... like every real estate agent says,... "Location,.. location,... location,..."




I just use an old wolf snare w/3 feet of #9 wire as the handle. It's not really an issue with the longer chain,.. if a lynx won't behave or hold still, I just start stepping on the chain to make it shorter & shorter til he's close enough,....

Here's a picture I found from 2005 when I took a couple friends on a line, and they took a snapshot of me putting the necklace on the kittie,... but I took a couple of them with it first,... grin






And my mileage from the Expo is a little better than the Tundra was,... on good trail conditions, right around the 20mpg mark,.. so I'm happy smile
