Trapper Dahlgren - Nope never been to Africa. Too hot for me.
Metis - In Far Eastern Russia (Primorye Province and a tad bit into Khabarovski Province) the ranges of the tiger and the leopard overlap, and the tiger range goes a little farther north than the leopard. Where they live, not really boreal forest, per se. All us westerners are familiar with the terminology "Siberian Tiger", but their range really doesn't even go into Siberia. Both species live in Far Eastern Russia, not Siberia, and the tiger should be called the Amur Tiger (from the region and River of same name).

The leopard takes the cake for me!
Thank you for taking the time to share, really nice. Gulo ever work with or encounter snow leopards in your travels I was lucky enough to do so, but never did get any photos I am just glad that my kids got to be there and also see them That was on the Tibetan plateau I love and am fascinated by all big cats but have to admit they are my favorite ones wish I would have had more time in the area to try for a photo opp Did get some good pictures of some Marco Polo sheep though

Great photos . Bears butt dart board needs a few more !
Glad to hear about the book , I know it'll be a good read. See if you can convince " The Last Homesteader " to write one as well.

Thanks to all. It's been one heckuva ride over the past 50 years of chasing the predators. Actually, in complete honesty, I still really like each and every marten, red fox, striped skunk, and yodel-dog. Even the lowly muskrat and weasel still puts a grin on this old face. Don't think I could have asked for a better existence. At least in my mind, too, through nearly 50 years of research and fur-trapping, I am still humbled every day by the things that I don't fully understand. I'm still a babe in the woods, trying to learn more.
Jack Jack, From the flavor of your writings here, I can tell it would have been informational and inspirational to just carry your trapping bag on many of your adventures globally. Thank you for posting these sir. Mark

That's some awesome stuff. You need to write a book! Exactly! Could be the trapper version of Man-Eaters of Kumaon.

RM trapper - Thanks. For me, it's never gotten old or mundane. I still highly appreciate each and every capture, whether a wolf or a weasel. I'm with you. clintp1971 - I'll remember that sir. Hopefully, the book will continue to progress. Thanks. nightlife - I've never worked with snow leopards, unfortunately. I did a short stint in outer Mongolia with wolves, but not in the snow leopard mountains. Sharon - Always the poet. Love your posts, always. Minker - YES! A book from white17 would be a phenomenal read. I'll subtly push a bit, but you know he's periodically a bit surly and his propensity for word-play cause medical problems in the reader from an overabundance of levity. Rio - Estimating age of wolves is pretty straightforward (with practice) by examining the wear pattern on the central upper incisors. That wolf depicted above was 8 years old (prime of life). Mark June - One of these days, Mark, I'll mosey south and volunteer to carry your trapping bag and hopefully learn from the master! gryhkl - Compared with the every-day lives of 200 years ago here in Idaho, my adventures would undoubtedly pale. Sure has been fun though. Here's a couple more... This was a nice interior Alaska grizzly that was helicopter-darted, not trapped. Another small female cougar in Idaho. One of many wolves not appreciative of the trap on his foot. Jack
