I read a story in last month's Alaska magazine about this wolf (my wife bought it for me). Take a wild guess who is leading the campaign to save this animal????

Unfortunately, those people think it is "real" wildlife, just like on the Disney movie. And then you have a world famous author who "dramatizes" wildlife and makes it all sound so lovable and "humanizes" animals to so many readers who have no clue. No wonder what it is so tough to get support for what we do? I refuse to read his articles or books any longer.

I read that article in alaska magazine, I don't buy that trash rag anymore, it is only for them outsiders, not anything to do with us. Tht article was crap, someone else caught a black wolf and everyone was flipping out because they thought it was romeo, got a reward to catch them, it says in the article that part of its area is in an open area for hunting, trapping. I am surprised no one hasn't whacked it yet.
hopefully he will eat a few more $500+ dogs,then they can all see how cute and cuddely they made it.

fellow sent me this link to let us know the "rest of the story"

I took a look at the ATA website I was not expecting to see a Playmate of the Month link, but hay nice beaver...for Alaska

Well as for the Wolf here in my little part of Montana they still haven't figured out what was killing all those sheep in the Jordan area and are still hoping it was a ferral hybred ? Imagine that one will ya , All I know for sure is the wolf that visited my snaring area last year didn't make a return trip this season . That or I missed seeing its tracks . After my fur sells Put me down for a copy of the manual and DVD . Just in case there is more information to learn that wasn't covered in the class in Miles City a couple of years ago .
Best Wishes , amtrapper

Geesh you guys...

That wasn't a wolf, that was a really big mouse.

That's what they eat...mice. I read it in a Fowat book.

The Wolf Manual and the Wolf DVD are now officially for sale by ATA.

As Bearbait says, they are $25 (+ $5 S&H)for either, or the best deal is BOTH for $40 (+ $5 S&H.)

To pay by check or M.O., send them to the ATA address: P.O. Box 82177, Fairbanks, AK 99708. To pay by credit card, call the ATA retail store in Fairbanks at 907-457-1774 during regular business hours. (By that I mean regular business hours in the ALASKA time zone!)

I am not particularly objective about these items, since I have a lot of dang hours invested in editing the manual and a lot of time dealing with the DVD project as well.

But I can assure you that these are both incredibly well done products! A ton of time went into picking the brains of some of the top wolf trappers in Alaska. We have been working on the production of the manual for several years. The interviews took a lot of time. But WOW, it was worth it!

I wish there had been something like these when I first came into the country and wanted to try and learn to trap wolves. I could have saved myself a ton of time and money (learning some of the info the hard way...!)

I honestly think that anyone can learn enough to have a reasonable chance to catch a wolf with the info in these products. And if you are already an experienced wolf trapper, there are a few handy tricks of the trade that you will find useful too.

G'day Pete.
Dont supose you have an email address for ATA so as I can order the manual and DVD..

Getting a bit of rain on the east coast so it will be green by the time you get there.

AL

Alan, go to the ATA website and click on "contact us at", down towards the bottom.

Alan, did you get those fires under control? Looked pretty grim from the pics you posted.

Rick

Hi everyone,do it have bare ground trap set on the DVD?
How do it cost in CDN $?

Thanks

Alan,
We got about 3 inches of rain hear in some areas more! Set up two dog sets Monday before a big storm, checked them in the rain yesterday, all washed out as it was raining I didn't reset! This morning had a 9 month old Juv. Female. Man that trap was exposed..LOL Who said females are smart!!
Regards,
Ed

Thanks Bearbait,have done.

Rick P,yes finally got them out,lost 16 houses,1000's round bales of hay,livestock ??? and 100's of miles of fencing.
No lives lost in our area .

Ed,good to see you have finally got rain,what out that the Mary River dont flood again.
That 9 month old female must have been dingo as that fits in with the breeding season.
I caught a big male dog like that up at Eukey except that my trap started of in a dry wash,had some rain which covered the trap with 6 inches of water.
On my way home from Stanthorpe I drove past the trap site and here is this big male dog up to his belly in the water in my trap.

Hupurest,if you mean cats,I have been using 1.75 os cs Dukes with great success.
I also use the Victor 1.5 cs but probably only have 3-4 left in working order.

nah, them sugar cane toad things, that ooze that yellow poison puss. Saw it on discovery channel. can you snare kangaroo's

The cane toads can very easily be trapped in cage traps with a light attached however it is not viable .
Of a night using a spotlight you can pick up a thousand or more without to much effort.

Yes it is very easy to snare roo's,usually on a fence line where they push under the bottom or second wire.
Feral pigs follow the same trails so after a while you have a well worn pad with a damaged fence,so setting a snare is easy.
As kids we used to snare them using fencing wire.
None of the fancy 1x19 or 7x7 ect was available.

Al

you get money for picking up all those toads???
is it legal to snare roo's?? mybuddy has a freind over there and they go around and shoot the crap out of em, throw em in a freezer truck and sell the meat. I think he said they got a couple hundred in a few nights, crocdile dundee style, 223 and spot lights.

No money for toads .

Roo carcases are worth between .65 cents and $1-00 per kilogram.

Al

And about that Wolf Trapping Manual.....! Cane toads notwithstanding.

Someone on the Wolf Manual thread on the main forum had mentioned that he had contacted the ATA retail outlet (Cutting Edge, in Fairbanks) and they had not received the merchandise.

I just checked and copies of both the manual and the DVD were dropped off at the C-E last night.

It is now completely safe to send in your money!
