My mountain line got nothing despite lots of rabbits and a few moose in the creek.
So I checked my one trap on my wood lot. Soon as I left the main trail there was a packed trail. Family of wolverine. The trail went up the hill and straight to my trap. The family sat in front of the trap and packed the snow down . But they would not commit. They eventually continued down the trail and fed on my fish pile.I spread the fish around a bit on my wood trails and set some wolf snares as that's all I had in my sled. Might go out tomorrow and set some 280s in pens like Ryan McLeod. Maybe a couple coyote soft catch for a big Lynx I saw tracks from.

I thought you had to use a blue crate?

Milk crates are hard to come by up here. The wolverine can't be choosee about the color of milk crate they get traped in.

We cannot use a cubby set on dry land I don’t think and not sure I would use them
Anyway in lower 48 states. But I am been thinking about milk crate sets , cubby sets , etc.
I think the cubby set or milk crate would work better with the the cubby or milk crate not
being to deep ? Correct ? Shallower the bait set in the set the more likely the animal
Will Comment? Only needs 1 big step right ? MD

5 gallon pails are almost to shallow for some species fine for coons and skunks but not so great for bobcats from my experience I’ve caught a lot of coons but never a bobcat in that set. Now before the high and mighty crowd gets going here in cattle country we don’t have stray dog problems like other places. Second not many houses for miles in the river breaks and a lot of distance between houses in farm country so your issues are not my issues.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

IMO the milk crates are way too shallow. I much prefer a bucket in that type of set up. But overall,where wolverines are concerned, I prefer a foothold trap under a suspended bait. But whatever works where you are located is the way to go.

I have yet not seen any blue milk crates, I wonder if such a set does exist.
That one sure paid for the firewood collection.

I still want to catch a wolverine in a White17 set.
