TeacherMan · « **Reply #8 on:** January 15, 2012, 08:04:08 PM »

Are you just wanting to get a lynx in a foot hold or snare?

Went out with a buddy last weekend on his long line and we got 8 lynx, a nice cross fox and should've had a wolf

bugs n bones · « **Reply #9 on:** January 15, 2012, 10:11:28 PM »

Yep preferably a foot hold so i can kill it...

You got me intrigued so I surfed the net for these hunts, seem a little steep to me but not impossible if its something a guy really wants to do. I to would rather take one with hounds. I did like some of the wolf packages though.

Also never seen so many different big bad moderators on one thread with only this many post before, what happened?

huntindoc · « **Reply #16 on:** January 15, 2012, 11:59:44 PM »

Try Stuart Maitland of Eureka Peak outfitters. First rate guy. Does a winter trap line trip for a week. Expect lynx, martin, fisher, etc. Trophy's are available during the trip.

boneaddict · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2012, 06:50:07 AM »

bugs n bones · « **Reply #19 on:** January 16, 2012, 08:56:00 AM »

Trap one not chase one down with dogs..... and not an outfitter i dont want to take out a loan.

TeacherMan · « **Reply #20 on:** January 16, 2012, 01:24:27 PM »

Boneaddict it would be fun to take you on a long line for a photo shoot. Wish my line was a little more exciting, fox and marten are not as cool as cats. Next season I'm expanding into cat area. I've got a buddy with a 50 mile line that I run with him that we get lynx every run but usually in snares. We see wolves and wolverine running more than we do in our sets

but it happens. Its hard to describe how cool it is when you get a lynx in a foot hold, they sound like one mad kitty when you show up. If your ever up in AK this time of year let me know. I may be able to work out a cool trip. Just be ready for -40 and hard snow machining!

give paul trepus with Inzana outfitters a call or look at his website. he is a total professional trapper. I went with him about 5 years ago. he will be at the puyallup show.

big wood · « **Reply #25 on:** January 16, 2012, 03:42:22 PM »

some kind of permit you have to get to bring your lynx, wolves and grizz from canada. I dont know about alaska.

big wood · « **Reply #26 on:** January 16, 2012, 03:48:31 PM »

here's a week. best time I ever spent with my kids. we had our own cabin. learned a lot and enjoyed paul, he is one tough modern mountain man and had lots of stories.

My friend Hazel in Galena used to (around 1968) follow a fresh lynx track on foot until she saw and could shoot the cat. The cats I caught in foot holds never struggled or made much noise. Some didn't even destroy the cubby the bait was in.

Cats are funny with pain. On those foot holds its not un common to sneak up on them and have them laying there knapping. My buddy who was a great cat trapper until it got closed down caught a lot of cats. He said most of them would not hardly even fight the traps once caught. I have only ever been around a few of them and most were curled up in a ball when we got there. I need to build some live traps and get into trapping again.

Best answer would be to Google it, but certain furbearing critters you need to have a permit to possess here in the states or Washington. For instance I have one for the Fisher I have, otherwise it would be illegal to possess. I'm not sure which Full bearers need them. I imagine Lynx, wolverine, Fisher and any others along those lines.

jackmaster · « **Reply #31 on:** January 17, 2012, 07:30:19 AM »

pm big wood, he knows a guy up there that you pay and he takes you on a long trap line for a week or two, he went a couple times and said it was one of the best times he had ever had

bugs n bones · « **Reply #32 on:** January 17, 2012, 08:17:21 AM »

i emailed the guy..... he gets 2500.00 for 5days. I just want a lynx shouldnt take more than a day or two.....I can go with a houndman up there for that price

big wood · « **Reply #33 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:04:40 AM »

When I went I got to keep 1 hide from every species we caght in that price, excluding wolverine.I had to pay a couple bucks for the wolverine hide. Just remember nothing is gauranteed, trapping or hound hunting I've been on some hound hunts and not even cut a track for a weeks work. I'm not trying to steer you 1 way or the other. I love both methods. Your choice, just trying to give you some info to make an informed decision.

Lynx, bobcat and otter are listed under the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) as a look a like species, meaning they are similar in looks to an endangered species. In the U.S. they have to be tagged with a CITES tag before crossing the border. CITES tags are issued by the USFWS to states that have shown they have a stable population of the animals and a management program. Tribal governments can also apply to receive CITES tags. I believe the Yakama tribe and the Colville tribe have CITES tag allocations.
Funny thing though the U.S. is the only country that requires the tags but if you wish to import CITES listed animals into the U.S. You have to obtain a CITES permit to bring them into the U.S.

Trepus outfitter seems to be the most affordable and he is a VERY good trapper. When I do my trapline trip it will probably be with him. Also- i made a deal to use my personal sled and save some money- the last time I looked it was ~$2000 and you get to keep a bunch of hides- including lynx, marten, fisher, wolverine (trophy fee), wolf, and beaver...

He has a website.
