I don't see any feet on that wolverine ?

the front feet are on there and i only have one foot on the hind because i was kinda dumb a sliced a big hole in the paw so i just cut it off and made it a three legged wolverine i dont have a needle or thread out here so i couldnt fix it so i just cut it off.

I see. Did you cut down each toe and open it or is the foot intact? If the latter they need to be inside out so they will dry.

Be sure to get us a picture of the back when you turn him. I like the dark ones.

Yeah for sure I will post a picture of it when I turn him back with the fur out and as for the feet I cut down each toe on the foot and I just spread it open on the cardboard

OK! Looking forward to the pix

heres a few pics of the wolverine put up. Front

Back.

Just a little constructive critique. Hope you do not mind. I notice that your wolverine is long and skinny with a pointed nose. Check the recommended board sizes to see how close you are. Boards are not an exact science but recommended sizes give a nice look to the finished put up pelt. Page 43 here:

Complete wolverine (wolves and bears), feet skinned out, ears turned, lips split, tail spread for drying, will bring a lot more money in today's market. A very high percentage of complete skins go to the taxi market. For auction the front feet can be left inside also.

Very nice catch. I always like seeing the dark ones also.

Yeah that board wasnt meant for a wolverine but it was the only board i had and he needed to be skinned out. The weather i am having up here is like -2 to +5 some times and i couldnt let him freeze cuz it wouldnt with warm weather so i used a Large Lynx board. i dont have any wolverine boards yet i still have to make some up. thanks for the help trapper ron.

Not sure how your board tapers but you may be able to come back 6 or 8 inches and reshape the nose. Lynx will still fit it. Check the measurements in link I gave you to see if you can come close. Hope to see another wolverine in you catch this season.

Well gotta a long walk ahead of me for tomorrow i am going to walk a ways to set for a wolverine and rest a lynx set i caught a lynx over night in one of my sets me and my brother put out last night and me and my friend just went and checked it and this is what i find

perfect neck caught on the lynx the head was still in the snare and the body was about a foot from the head but kinda made me angry so gonna go and walk to where it was set and set my last 280 on a pole and a snare pole as well.

What did it?

wolverine ate it and i was some really fresh tracks i would had the lynx and the wolverine or one or the other if my quad didnt freeze up on me and it was like -5 yesterday and i wake up to like -30 all day today so i gotta walk to that set to set up some traps

That's unfortunate about the cat. Hope you get the raider!

Bummer!

well just got back from a rather long and tiring walk took me 4 hours to walk to that set to reset it and set up the conibear for the wolverine. went rebaited the other 2 snares that he took bait from and it was a long 11 km walk a round trip.

Man that is a bummer! I hope you connect with the culprit!

Well i went and check the rest of my snares past the one that the lynx gotten eaten from and i decided to check on it cuz lots of fresh tracks around i went to the wolverine trap and the wolves knocked it over and took the rest of the lynx so now i am going to set up a few wolf snares down there and hopefully connect with a few or even one for the first wolf. There is a wolverine past the snare quite a ways so i am going to set up for him down there.

Here is a picture of one of the leaning pole sets that i made for wolverine it has a foot hold underneath the tree. the first set that i made like this has a snare and a 280 conibear in case i miss the wolverine in my snare I'll have him in the trap.

The one beneath has a the foothold trap in the bottom left hand corner of the picture you can just see the pan of the trap.

WHat size wire is that on the snare ? If it isn't #9 I'd replace it. Can you set it so the lock is on the 12 or 0ne 0'clock position ?

I am with White. Too lite a fasten job. Looks like the wolverine could touch the ground when caught.. Going to loose it. I would also say given the narrow path you have him on on the tree you could cut down the size of your loop substantially. Maybe deceiving but it looks like there is a good change that a wolverine could get a leg through it.
This is what a neck caught wolverine did to 1/8 inch cable last year on my line. Don't underestimate what you will be getting a hold of when you do. Or it will be a major bummer.

You won't have success covering your trap with snow.
I think one of the best things you can do is to experiment with traps at home, in the same conditions. Go outside and set a trap. Then go back the next day and see what it takes to set it off. I think you will be surprised at how hard disturbed snow will be. You can get by with a light covering over a trap with a covering but to bury your trap in snow is a loose loose situation in most circumstances. If they do fire they are so slow that you will be lucky to get a toe or less. Only thing worse than no wolverine is an educated wolverine. They can wreak havoc on your line.
