If I aint mistaken one of white17s favorite sets in digging a hole in your trail dropping a smelly bait down it, place trap ang cover with wax paper then snow deep enough to drive over. The fox digs for the bait an gets caught.

Martentrapper he is all skinned out. 62” from nose to base of tail. Had a chunk of scar tissue right between the eyes and a broken off canine tooth. Little fat but plenty of muscle.

Struck out on the line this last check. Plenty of wolverine, fox and coyote running around. The wolves even came back through but went through a section of the line they had not travelled so there was no gear in place for them.

The wolverines are onto my tricks and just checking my sets out but not committing to them. On a good note I had wolverine visit both sites I caught the other wolverine at so those must be good locations for future use.

Saw this recent landslide. [Linked Image]

What's that bright yellow shiny thing? Haven't seen one of those in awhile!! Is that a Bumble cave in the last photo? Last I heard this bushwhacker named Yukon Cornelious was able to tame one!!

I've always considered this a good thing....that is as long as they are female wolverine that are acting smart! Seed for next year. Females are pregnant already and going to be denning in the not too distant future. Now those big males with big tracks, hate seeing them go by!

I honestly have no clue? I tried looking it up but they don’t list XL, 2XL, L etc for wolves like they do all other species. I do know it’s a lot bigger wolf than the other one I caught years ago.

Oh Yukon Cornelius hasn’t been seen in a while. Maybe he is up in that hillside that let go. Lol

Chickenminer thanks for the help! I looked all over the Internet but never found anything along those lines for wolves.

Had a great line check despite the flat light. Got a real light wolverine and lost another in a #4 guarding a marten set. Looks like I had it by a toe. Thankfully none of the rain or warm temps hit the area I trap. [Linked Image]

Nice one! Is that one front foot missing, or just the picture?


Just doing what I want now.

Good eye! It’s missing. I had two footholds set there. Got one front foot and one rear foot. She chewed out of the front foot.

Nice you had two traps there, it woulda sucked to lose two in one day. What are you using for traps at that set?

It is incredible how much material they excavate.
