January 22, 2012:

I went out on the trapline today, with what seems to be the last time by ATV. The snow is piling up and will start to move around with the snowmobile. Went out today at the crack of dawn to check sets and look over the rest of my main line (looking at sign) and the first catch of the day was a muskrat in a 330 beaver set:


then went onward on the line, pulled up a few sets in places I would not be returning too and wasn't having luck at. Rolled up on a weasel box and had a long tail caught. I didn't take a catch photo of it because of the state I found it in, it was too close to the bait unfortunately and then a mouse chewed the leg up sometime not long after death. Fur is in rough shape but will still bring a buck or two.
Went on too the last few sets, and nabbed this real nice long tail in a rat trap. Grouse Feathers, Beaver Meat, and a bit of Caven's "Just Mice" for bait. Biggest and Best Looking Weasel this season.


and finally got over to Fur Trappers Lake. Snapped a few pictures of some lodges along the way aswell:



and today's total:

Was out for the first time (of the year) with the snowmobile to Fur Trappers Lake this evening. Set a few more sets out, but all I can say is.
How can anyone say this isn't beautiful?

January 27, 2012:

I know it's a little off topic for Trapperman. But a pretty good friend of mine committed suicide by hanging last night in her home... by the time EMS arrived there was no chance of revival. First time dealing with a friend doing something like this, so I may not have posts for a couple days... I'm not sure if I can handle going to the bush tomorrow. Just thought i'd let people know.

Thanks.

I'm not trying to make this out to be any kind of sob story, but, unfortunately bullying has taken it's tole, I just found out she was bullied quite a bit by a few select students in my school. That with a mix of abuse at home led to the death of a simple girl who just loved her family and friends.


Rest In Peace and Good Luck Where Ever You Are Now.

My dad did the same when I was 5 years old. I feel your pain, so many unansawred questions. Stay focused on the good times and the person they were. Your in my thoughts and prayers.

Good luck, be safe out there!


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.
