Nothing better and thanks for sharing.
Are most of your martens lighter colored in your area?

A happy little guy and a Proud grandpa . I bet he is a colorful character in more ways than one.

Great adventures and pic Bushman. Nice to share it with the little ones.

I've been running back and forth hauling building material to my new cabin site. -20 to -33 at nights so creeks finally froze tight. Pulling two sleds a 10' and a 6'. I believe I'm hauling between 350 to 500 lbs a load. I have an overland section through the trees where I have to snake along a windy trail with hills. The new WT is up to the task, except on one glare ice hill. Just a small one but on a dogleg corner so a real pain. Spent an hour yesterday with a come along getting up it but after that it was straight go. i have some interesting footage of a wolverine cleaning its paws right in front of my cams.

I'll post some pics this afternoon. lynx really moving but waking by footholds and snare cubbies. Down on flats in small spruce and willow hunting and looking for love. I'll hang snares on the heaviest rabbit runs this week.

slow but sure way to get up the icy hill

My rear 6' sled didn't make the corner, I put a rail up along the creek after the fact.

I always hate to leave at day's end.

Yikes, that looks like fun...
Beautiful sunset!

This is a shot off of my screen as I rolled video of a wolverine grooming itself. It parked itself in front of the trailcam for quite a while.

Sorry to see your gear and sleigh down in that ravine Brian ,,,, got the same conditions over here also ,,, although my hills are not as big , I do have a lot of really steep shorter hills , which are becoming pretty tough to navigate , lots of spinning out , problems cornering,,,, going down backwards ,,,, not too fun.
Worst trapping year i've ever had , I'm getting ready to pack it all in for the year , but then was out yesterday and seen all the fresh cat sign and decided to stick it out till the end . Thanks again for the great pictures also . Cheers .

I'm in it to the end too Jim, and then some. Only thing that drives me out is the high water in spring. I'm done risking my life crossing raging streams and getting caught in spring blizzards. Good time for a holiday somewhere.

Looks like your up for a challenge on them hills, but I would rather trap in the mountains then the muskeg flats of northern AB. Keep posting.

Yup , for sure ,,,,, Cancun 23rd till the 07 March ,,, El Sids Marina ,,, gone fishin !!!!

Jim, Iceland in June for me. 6 hours direct from Edmonton. good fishing, quading, and horse back riding.

Only problem Tundra is when the mountains won't let you in, but i have my foothills line so life is good.

Although our wolverine season is over wolf season is open until late March. Good thing the pan tension on this trap is set for a wolf or I'd have been catch and releasing a wolverine. That would be interesting.

I assume that is a pee post? Looks like it was interested.

The trap is bedded 12" offset from small stick. Wolves use it for pee post. Wolverine stepped right on the pan.

Just returned from five days out with my sweetie. The woman out works most of my friends. I know have enough material to frame up a 16 x 16 line cabin. I even got two windows hauled out. I'll haul my interior material and then start framing. I plan on having it completed by spring, but the weather could throw me a loop. The summer access is foot or horse so as long as I get all the material out in winter I can still go back to finish it off.

I've got a decent camp setup for until cabin finished. Here's the outside kitchen

I set up one of my Kifaru tipi's as well. Previous posts talked about setting them up before. This one will be setup for a few months so I laid 3 - 16' 2x4's down on a flattened snow deck. I screwed 3/8" plywood down on top. Very stable and nice floor surface. I fastened most tent tie downs to plywood deck but not quite big enough so put down log sleepers on those edges and tied off to them.
