Well, you'd be surprised at what I can fit in that box & on a machine without a sled. I've hauled out 4 wolves at one time with some other stuff and no sled. Here's a shot from last year with the same box, but on my Tundra with a 10 lynx-day in it, (9 trapped, 1 snared). This is the exact same box,.. it fit just perfect on the Expo as well. Just last week I carried a lynx, a cross fox, 2 marten & 2 ermine all "up on the dash",.. between my handlebars & the windshield,... couldn't see my gauges, but didn't need to. That's why I make the mods I do to my machines, so I can do that. Of course, if one snares everything and they're all frozen in bizzare shapes, then it's a different story,... then you have to worry about damage as well. There's no doubt that at times a cargo sled would be nice,... but for me & what I do & where I go,... it's usually not worth it.

Awesome pictures, I will see about check a few of mine after tutoring today, hopefully have something. Got a few traps south of town and north of town that are close. Have a good feeling about the ones that i set south since my cousins and uncles that have trapped over that way have gotten quite a few marten there. Usually alot of sign can be found there. I came across some fresh tracks and have set for them this weekend. Need to try out some different lures. I have used hawbrakers lures but didn't seem to pull them in. So i ordered some blackies sugar babe, hopefully that will work out better. Going to bring my little brother along to after he gets his pin taken out of his arm, was broken during one of his wrestling matches in November. The kid he was wrestling was having difficulty with him so he jumped and land with all his weight on my brothers arm and broke it. My brother spent his money on traps without my parents knowing and were wondering why he ran out of money fast. Here he got a few number ones from the store and boiled them and skimmed the oil out and added some crisco to the pot and boiled them more and stored them outside the house. His pin will be coming out at the beginning of next month so I promised him I would bring him out and let him set. I bought him out last year and let hims set for lynx, got one in his set.

CRISCO ?? Now I know you folks that live and trap in the land of the midnite sun are known to be very, very good at improvising, etc. but this is a first for me. Wow!:-)


Hunt with your Kids, not for them.

Wow your brave to walk the chain down like that. I don't get no where near my lynx. I use a 8 foot pole with the lynx necklace. My lines to the trap never exceed 2 feet. That is my max length. I don't like broken legs, still get 1 every now and then though, and i to like no sled but one day maybe ill give in and try it out. Good job on the catches!

Yup the dividing part usually happens fast my younger ones first claim was the 204 the older one the 375 I guess they discuss that kind of stuff alone, and agree!

Okay WB standing on the chain would get you within range. All I could envision was the cat racing from one end to another. So I know you have mentioned it before but why the long chains? Is it for the wolverine or do you actually prefer them for lynx also. I like mine short as well but usually are in alders etc and long chains means more broken legs as akassassin referred too. I have never set wide open like that for cats. Do you have luck setting under cover for cats with the pee post set in order to get some snow protection when possible or do their tracks dictate more where you choose to set since it is a pee post without bait? Do you use any stepping sticks at all?

I hear Ak Range has been bought out by Boondocks in Eagle River is this correct? If so that will certainly make getting there a bit easier in the future

Heck yeah I do !!


For those who don't know Katie, she is one of the best kids I've known. She is an avid reader and pretty dang smart. I'm sure she will go far in life. Especially once she gets her pilots license.


Hey Katie, you know that Barb is on this forum too.

Oh cool, do you know her user name? I'm hoping I can get my pilots license by the time I'm in high school. I never had any idea that so many people I know are on here... shocked
