Wolverine trapped in Oregon

[Humptulips]

In Washington as had been said they have to be underwater and then only with a special permit.
In Oregon 330s are only legal underwater. 280s and smaller are legal on land. I don't consider them much of a problem except when used with bait.

Biggest share of the bad press trappers seem to get is dogs caught in baited buckets. Most of that is happening in the midwest where guys are using them for coon. There is  legislation right now in MN and WI to make them illegal on the ground after several incidents.
Trappers back there are fighting it but I think they should give it up. There is too much bad press. If trappers help write the law it can be crafted to specifically target the problem and we lose as little as possible. Let the antis take the lead and it'll be like here where practically everything is illegal.

In about 2002 My hunting partner and I saw, from about 100 yards away, two critters frolicking on a steep hillside along the Cascade Crest east of Mount Rainier. At the time they puzzled me, looking 'badger-ish' in shape but several times larger. My partner thought they were yearling twin cub bears; and I just walked away confused, unable to reconcile what I'd seen. It occurred to be a few years later that they must have been wolverines.

I dont want to raise any hackles, but I have to mention that I am very confident that I saw a wolverine in the olympics during the summer of 2010.

I also have seen 1 above Stevens pass. It had a den under an ice cap. Had my rifle on him then figured out WTF it was. Pretty cool site and a very large critter.
