we're right in the midst of filming wolverines. This male has been displaced from his territory and looks like he's had his butt kicked.

any pictures from other angles of this guy.

Holy Cowabunga. If a guy only knew what happened. Wonder if he will make it. Doesn't look too likely.

A big team doing the heavy lifting AV I'm just riding their coat-tails. I am really enjoying it though.

I would really steer clear of Frankenwoverine shown above. That one looks like he would be just willing for revenge.

The wolverine was being released from a live capture so Andrew set the camera on ground and left it rolling. He got some dynamite shots.

Those wolverines get addicted to the beaver bait in the live traps and put a few pounds on. There is some discussion on whether live trapping disrupts normal wolverine travel patterns and I'm sure it has effect. But their inherit need to scent post and mark territory keeps them moving I believe. We can see by our trail cams on carcasses that they gorge for a period and then take off, usually packing some grub to stash.

Taking a short break from bush life to setup the next stage of our filming. We're using chopper and fixed wings with long range cine-flex to see if we can follow a wolverine across the landscape. We need the cineplex so we can stay back 1/4 mile or so and get natural behaviour in action. We have cameras setup on two dens right now. You're going to have to watch the documentary to see what we're getting but I'm pretty happy.

My buddy from up north sent me this as a joke.




Claims he was always a Ladies Man, I say it was the shades while he claims it was all his fur.

The argo definitely provided access where the snow mobile couldn't go, namely across open water channels. Good for that use but pretty slow overall.

Slow but sure Brian! Love those new Argos. The outfitter I guide for has 4 or 5 of them. The old ones were a pain....always breaking axles, but they fixed that problem a few years ago. Looks like your snow conditions were about like ours. What is the dimension of that cabin? I have a couple to build this year.

Cool stuff, the wolverine pics are really interesting. I wonder how that one got scalped? They must fight hard.
Too bad about the one killed by wolves.
The camera man must have unbelievable patience!
