Not sure how he tripped that thing, maybe trying to drag a bird out that was in there.

I agree he was on his way out when he got snapped. Those little buggers foul my sets frequently, or I see them trying to fend me off of the bait on checks.

I called in this black wolf tonight with a rabbit call! I almost left without glassing behind my right side, but felt the wind pickup and blow that way, so figured if anything was coming, it'd be from across the river where the wind was blowing. I had been facing into a small river off the Yukon calling, but nothing. So, for giggles, I stood up as I was leaving and glassed the opposite Yukon river bank 1/2 to 3 miles away, down wind, and bam...there he was less than a mile headed straight at me, but I was worried about the wind, so, let him commit off the trail as he headed towards me and I drove down a lowside of the river to sneak up on him and got him! My first wolf! I think the old ski doo etech really helped out being so quiet!

Not a huge one, but, my buddy is 6'3", so...

NO !!! Please do not turn wild mink fur out. There is an Alaskan section which were traditionally a fur out mink but the industry prefers all wild mink be handled fur in.

Ron I was wondering can you tell me why the industry wants ranch mink fur out and wild mink fur in? I noticed the ranch mink dont have pleated tails and windows cut and all that jazz like they want with wild mink.

Started reading this book today.

"As the Gurdy Turns: A Salmon Troller's view of SE Alaska"

by Ron Rau.

I was raised gill netting and longlining in SW AK, but man this book makes me want to try trolling through the islands in SE!


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.
