He was headed to Fairbanks to see the granddaughters....

Wolfwoman that ad belongs on the Trap Shed Forum. However, it needs a price you want for the magazines when it goes on there. We don't do "make offer" posts on there. Make your post on the Trap Shed and I'll remove this one. Good luck.

Thanks Paul, move and removed!

He is on his way to the grand daughters right now Pete. He is going to get them all spoiled up for when you get back ;o) and for when I get there next week. I can hardly wait.

White will be back on here full force real soon, STT. Haven't you appreciated the break? ;o)

Wwoman, we had a week of spring weather - which was a relief after all the 40 and 50 below! Anyway, the trails are still very good and there is just a bit of a crust. I watched a willow grouse walking on it yesterday and she punched through about every 5th step or so. I found myself wondering "why doesn't she fly instead of walking on that punchy stuff?" If I could fly, I would! But maybe she is wiser than I am about that sort of thing ;o)

We had a warm up too, was 35-45 for about 4-5 days, made the parking lot into an ice skating rink so now there's cat litter paths everywhere I don't even like to let the dogs out on this crap, too easy to sprain, strain or break a claw. Not worth it. Not to mention there's not a lot of control on MY part when I can't get a grip on the ground! LOL

Ol B,

When will you be in Fbks? I get home Friday night (29th) weather permitting.

Pete

I thought maybe he went and got banned or something!

ROFL! Yeah, STT, I banned him!!! LOL

Pete, I'll get there 2 days before you. I will be at the Princess most of the time - library conference!! I'll be there until the 3rd, so we should get together. NO SPITWADS AT THE DINNER TABLE!

Otterman and the Fish Boss will be in Fairbanks then too.

White will be here, in MCG, tending the fire.

Barb,

Let's try to get together. Maybe Sunday morning? Call me Sat.

Check out the latest Outdoor Life Magazine. There is a guy on there that got attacked by a Polar Bear in AK, Did a number on the guy's back!!

Well, was a dissappointing weekend check. Got two fox, one in a pole set, between two trees, for wolverine. Apparently canines can climb. Also nothing like seeing a snow covered ball at the end of your snare and celebrating only to kick it uncovered and see it's ONLY a fox. The other one was in a ground cubby with a 330. Apparently it missled its way in, as it was suitcased. The other fox did their best to make it unsalvagable as all they left was the part in the trap and ate everything else. Had my pelvis set (White's suspended bait with 750s) robbed clean. Too much snow burried the traps and the wolverine was able to just come in and pull it down. And then had a few more premature celebrations as I noticed a few of my buckets in other locations had been fired. I couldn't see anything fromt he snow, just that the trap was fired. Then after celebrating, again, I was able to uncover just an empty set. Guess when on the ground they will dig when filled with snow. Doubt that one will be interested in a bucket any time soon.

3 weeks of soaking and 2 fox........blah.

OK, there were a couple guys on here that said they were going to do the run with the reindeer at Fur Rondy. Who really did it, and I want picture proof!

Alaskan,

Sorry to hear that, but at least it will cut down on the gloating for the week!

-TJ

I have pictures but since it was all one big "failure" after I pre-celebrated, I have yet to give a rats arse to download them.

One thing to mention is the refusal I had of my leaning bucket set. Walked right up to it, just didn't want to go up. Wondering if maybe the leaning system isn't the way to go. I am using two cut poles (~5" thick) together and bucket at the top. I figured it wouldn't be an issue for them to climb, but apparently some don't like to. Then again, lots of rabbits and ptarmigan so maybe they aren't that hungry.

Top Jimmy-I got off work early on Friday to go downtown to sign up. Unfortunately, I was a couple hours too late. I went with my kid as spectators, and I have never seen so many people on 4th avenue. It was a zoo. I'm definitely signing up early next year. I have a lot of time to think up a costume idea.

CB, is there a point to your post? Or did you think we didn't get newspapers up here?

I was suprised that it would be in the News back East.

No, I know you get newspapers. No need to get grumpy.

you were surprised?? Come on, after the TV show "Deadliest Catch" anything to do with the Bering sea and fishing makes the news.

Not grumpy, just wondered why you would post it, I mean WE'VE SEEN IT, and we are the ones that view your post.

Did someone drink up all your brew while you were out getting skunked by wolverines Alaskan??

steve- nah, sometimes I just wonder what the purpose of some of his posts are. If he would have started with a "wow, this was in our paper back east" and then had it, then I could have understood, but just to post it like its LATE BREAKING NEWS, I was kind of like "huh??"

Speaking of beer, I want some.

I don't think I can be "skunked" since I've precured a few Gulos this year. However, i can be embarassed and ridiculed by them....but not skunked.
