Real fun when the cycle was up, although they were pretty naive around traps and snares. This was a pretty typical scene along the line. They were fun to catch, they were clean (didn't stink), easy to skin and prep., and brought pretty decent money. A good friend of mine had a lynx take the drag up a small birch tree, get hung up, and fell out of the tree. He had to chop down the tree to retrieve the lynx and the trap. Here was one that looked asleep in a snare. I had my Labrador lie down next to it. My trapping pardner got real good at catching them. Hope you all enjoy this week's selection.

Wish I could contribute, but I’m about ready to board a big Pegasus to fly me north in a few. Glad to catch your weekly fun for a little bit. http://www.illustrationsinmotion.com/index.html

The look on her face says she's none too happy. She didn't like it a bit, but she does what I tell her. Originally Posted by beaverpeeler Wonderful pics...I am a bit worried though; what happens to "photo phriday" when you run out of furbearers? The photo phridays I've done in the past have not been all furbearers. I'll do songbirds, upland game, skulls, tent camps, etc. Last edited by Gulo; 03/08/24 04:48 PM.

Quite a few years later living in Unalakleet, was selling lynx to taxidermist, advertising on taxidermy.net. Got a furbuyers license and bought lynx to sell. 2008 economy crash ended that. Learned the hard way to keep trap chains tied off solid and not too long. Like your picture, they had a tendency to climb and then jump back out.

Real short drag chains sometimes take a while to hang up though. Jack
