This thread is in need of a boost seasons are closed and I need some trapping talk. I'm posting this in hopes of generating some. I was not going to but I really want to read some trapper talk not concerning Al Bundy or the Homeless. I really like the hand of God and climate change threads though. Some real stuff to think about on those sites. Check out the wolverine,hardly moved in the snare. Used a stinger spring. Really efective I could have replaced the snare and the set would have bee fine to reuse if the season was not over.

Good video muskrat. Have you ever tried to choke down your lynx? Fast and no blood.

FT - "That was cool. Man how did they film those shots?"

I understand they had a remote camera inside a fake hunk of floating ice for the water shots. I suspect they filmed all the underwater shots of the bear in advance and just cut them to make a sequence. The hunting scenes were shot with a long lens and some good editing pulled the whole story together. It was a great piece of film and I was pulling for the polar bear. I Wonder what would happen if the bear was stalking an Inuit hunter staking out a blow hole, would a hunter even see the bear sneaking up?

I have not heard of "choke down" if you can explain I will definitely try it. Always good to learn better methods. The reason I started shooting lynx is one time I caught a big lynx I was trying to catch for a while. I got off my ski-doo to walk up to it to put a snare on its neck. It made one final big pull busted out of the trap and took off into the bush. Got me paranoid of loosing my lynx. But if you method works I will try it and include it on the videos next season and give you credit for teaching me something.

Ha Ha. Sounds like you have done it all ready Muskrat. Just a matter of choking the down with something. My preferred method is to use a chunk of 16 gauge wire in a simple noose fastened to a 2-4 foot long pole. It holds its shape better than a snare and easier to fasten to the pole. It is aways with you and easily made up on site if needed.
I hear you on the jump outs however. I always make sure they are caught well to start with. I have had it happen as well. But the method is by far preferred over shooting unless absolutely necessary.

If the bear was stalking a hunter there would be a PETA supporter having a Coke and a smile cheering "Go Bear"

Wow this is as good of outdoor documentary as I have seen on youtube. Killer Whales vs Sharks. Pretty clear winner. Outstanding footage.
Reserve 45 min to watch it.

You crack me up Muskrat. Always entertaining to watch your video. I was getting ready for a fun water crossing. Then I saw the rocks on the bottom.

I had a lynx one time that as I approached it and it jumped the wire broke and the lynx took off down the trail with a # 2 longspring on it's foot. Kinda stunned for a second I took off running after it and in under 200 yards I caught up to it and chased it up a tree. Grabbing a good branch I climbed up after it and smoked him right out of the tree.

I had that happen too. Trying to get good photos for an article in the TPC. Was dragging a trap. I sent my son after it to chase it out of the willows while I cruised the border. At one point I saw it. It had hung up in the crotch of an alder tree. If he had walked my way at al it would have been free. So I pressed it fast with looped wire in hand. His foot and trap caught in the crotch. I put a loop over the head and ended that potential loss. Was my lucky day. No gun!

Man got me excited I thought you were logging already. You see that video of the caribou flotting down the Porcupine river on the ice during the break up in Old Crow. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/caribou-adrift-as-ice-breaks-up-near-old-crow-yukon-1.2636302 Not sure if it works but there is a link to it from CBC North. Now that would be cool logging for caribou.
