Sweet! Congrats on the wolves! Glad to hear you found some "hot" sign and hope you connect with a couple! Thanks for sharing!

Great trip, howler, congrats! So on those exposed pee posts do you have a stake driven in that you are anchored to? Seems too open to be using drags.

Thanks guys, Wlftrppr..I pick up their urine off existing pee posts and move it. Haven't used the commercial urine since the refusals.
Smalltime... I drive stakes in the summer and sometimes in the winter. Not big fan of drags myself, work for some just not me.

Man your deadly on those wolves, how many is that for the year? Great looking fur on the young one and congrats on a awesome year.

Howler, when you pick up the wolf P do you just scoop up the snow and all and put in a baggie or what?
Thanks again for the ride along

I wonder if it would keep the moose out of your vegetable garden?....says on the jug, "used by Gardeners" ha ha.

Way to go dude!! do you gang set or just single traps per post? i think pet dog pee and poo is better than the commercial stuff...imo...and cheaper too. the ole timer says pee from a female inheat is pretty hard for any dog to resist this time of year....hope you pinch a few more and awesome journal....i nominate you for tman journal of the year:)

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing.

It sure is a beautiful place.

Next year when you go back to trap I am going to be living in your cabin

Really enjoy reading your journal. Are your #9's painted white?

Good idea to collect your own frozen Wolf Pee and move it, that way you know exactly where it came from. Fresh frozen with zero additives is as real as it gets!

Great journal as usual Hopefully the weather will corporate and you wont have to do the ballet on water again like last spring (although I really liked the video haha)

Then what happened .....?

Great stuff JR !

great pics!

Short trip out on the line this week. Thought spring was upon us and then it cooled back off. 40 above when I got to the cabin and minus 10 when I left. Lots of overflow on the creeks. Passed an ol timer and his son on a pair of Bravos pulling a 4-wheeler out to their cabin. No studs and hardly a skag on their Sig sled. Told them I come back for them if they had troubles. Got to the cabin, got a fire goin and on up checking line. Caught a caribou in a MB 750 pee post and held for awhile before finally pulling out. The overflow followed my trail down from the creek and covered the trap. Will go get it in the spring.

Continued on up checking the south line and didnt connect with anything. Ran up caribou creek to pull gear up there. Lots of overflow. Amazing how much it can build in a week.

Get up to my wolf snares and this is what I find.

On the way back, ran into the Bravo jockeys. They had a rope between them and tag teaming the overflow together. Where there's a will there's a way. That 4-wheeler was tailing those Bravos around pretty good. Continue on up the upper line and stopped where I saw the sheep tracks last week. Spotted 10 dall rams 500 yards above the river. To late to go up for pics so I shot some video and pics from the trail. Sat there for about a half hour. Pretty neat. Wolves must be up high driving them down.


Followed a couple wolves up the river and seemed to miss my sets. Close but not connecting until this set.

85# gray male in #9 pee post. Had another head for the trees and open one of my cut Thompson locks and get away. 3rd wolf I lost this season to them. Won't happen again.
Didn't get much fur for the stretcher but opened up into some new country for next year.




Time to get the grey on the board and get ready for the Fling. Got some carvings to get done.

Those sheep make me hungry !

That glaciering looks like a pain.

Very nice hair on that wolf !

Good snag on the caribou antler! Those things must be getting pretty loose this time of year I would suppose. Congrats on another big dog, you are knocking them down this year. Great pics as usual!

Love the country you run, congrats on another fine wolf. Do you get to hunt dall's every year or is it on a draw system?

Congrats on the wolf! That is a pretty looking one! Thanks for sharing!

Nice wolf. Yeah those caribou can sure be a pain when a bunch come through.

That wolf is a dandy. That caribou had is antlers late seems like. Cool catch. ;0)
