. . .but it was pretty cool! Caught a wolverine in a fox snare. I am really glad that it made a good catch, because I don't think the cable could take much more. The set was on my trail going into a marten set. I had caught a fox there in a snare last week. I moved the snare about 10 feet away but on the same trail and was sure surprised to walk up on this. First for me although I don't think I will set fox snares intentionally for these guys.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. The cold temps may have helped you dispatch the ol devil bear. Glad you got him. Looks like a bait and fur thief. I have caught a couple like that and lost a couple like that as well. Happy Holidays and be safe.

They take a couple days to thaw in a 60ish degree room. As to the liquid, unless it smells bad, I wouldn't worry about it.

There is no telling what that animal rolled in, played in, or dug through prior to encountering your set. I wouldn't "sweat" it.
