well that is awesome, ya know, a friend of mine would go up to canada and go on a week long trappin adventure, it was 1000 dollars a person and they slept in a nice warm cabin every night and they got to bring home a fur from each species they trapped, it was my buddy chris his son a friend and his son, the trapper even taught the boys how to trap weasel and such, really took his time, he said it was the most fun he has ever had on a guided hunt of any kind, it might be worth lookn into, there are plenty of guys out there that would love to come along just to check it out... good luck cant wait to see more pics, hopefully you get a couple more wolverines, those a bad arse  :tup:

Picture of a wolf that just got back from Moyle. A before and after pic lol. She rolled on a pee post and ended up with a #9 on its elbow.

That is soooooo cool.  Keep 'em comin'.  This is one of my favorite threads in the winter.  Takes me back to my (way) younger days catching coons and rats back in WI and MO.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

I thought the way it worked was, you do the trappn and the runnin of the line, and the wife and kids put up the fur while you watch football and have a few soda pops  :tup:  :chuckle: :chuckle:

Not a bare spot just chunk of snow. After I shot him I went back in and ate breakfast and he started to freeze to the snow lol. He was just in my driveway. The dogs started barking so I went outside to see what was up and he was trotting up the driveway quick shot with the .22 mag next to the door and I was back to getting ready for work.

Well I guess I can't trap everyday my wife took me into Anchorage with her today to the mall. I so don't like these places. I'm wearing Carharts and a flannel and packing a gun. But she's having fun and that's what matters 😉

Is that unusual in Anchorage at the mall? (wearing flannel and packing a gun)
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
