Teachermans 2012-2013 Trapping Journal

Great check! Got two nice yotes, one looks like a wolf, one lynx and a few more marten boxes out. Beautiful country today!

The ice is close to 20" thick now and not even December! Under ice beaver is way to much work  I'll try post a video later cutting out that block with my chainsaw. The last pic was a great way to end the day

WOW!!!!
Would hate to stick my hand in the box to get my morning paper.

We take newspaper tubes to a new level in AK  Those Belisle 120's would ruin your day. We've got 40 of those out. Few more out by the end of the weekend hopefully.

Forgot to mention had 15 caribou run down our trail today and almost run us over  I needed a big stick and I think I could have gotten one of the cows!

looking good teacherman, The kid got the first bobcat again this year 25lb. She was also wondering if you were going to send any fur for those skulls and fur she sent you last year?

Hey Teacherman, I recognize the lake at the bottom of that  power line!  Not gonna name names    But always loved that portion of the drive to Anchorage.

Great ice fishing lake for lakers! We have half dozen marten sets up that power line. Most of our stuff is 60 miles further Northeast.
