A beaver chew works great for breaking the ice! Checking another bubble trail.

Very cool!!! Sorry to hear about your buddies accident! Wow sounds like a close one.
I've got a really cool pic of it but its also very graphic so I didn't know if I should post it. Its one of the xray pics with the actual pic of the arm cleaned up so you can see down to the bone next to it.
Crazy part is they are leaving most of the LEAD pellets in his arm. They said it will cause more damage removing them than its worth. I was shocked. I expected him to be out for the season and the doctors have been telling him that as long as it doesn't hurt to use it as much as possible. He only has about 20% use/feeling in his left hand at this point plus its in a splint up against his body. Has another surgery in the morning, then within 10 days should actually be able to use his hand again.

We only got a couple beaver today that took way to long to chop out from under the ice with my ax! I forgot chainsaw gas :( no yotes had touched our bait pile but several fox are hitting it. Can't wait to lower snares to their level.
On the way home tonight I spotted a nice red fox running the river so I was able to put one .22 mag bullet behind his shoulder at 100yds and piled him up. Hunting season is open for them.
Hopefully animals move little more this coming week, if anything else it will just be nice to get back out there again next weekend.
My local line will start up Nov. 10th and I'll have more K9 pics to post. I'll post pics of today tomorrow I'm done for the night ;)

Is there much competition in the area you are trapping. Do you have to label all your sets with ID. How far from civilization are you.
Sorry for all the questions, just trying to paint a picture in my mind. :tup:
There is a ton of competition in my area! Everyone up here traps, I've got students in everyone of my classes that trap every weekend with there family. You have to be willing to hike or go a long distance in on a snow machine.
You do not have to label your traps in AK, another interesting fact there is no trap check time. Snares are a very key tool up here and the extreme cold temps keep your animals well preserved. It was already -8 on my line Sunday.
For now the Northern part of my line is a little over 200 miles from my doorstep. Very remote country in broken tundra with willows and spruce. Cats, fox, coyotes, wolves, marten and wolverine are our target once we stop beaver trapping.
Hope this helps paint a better picture, its beautiful country, the animal density would really surprise most people, its low! You have to put in a lot of miles and the average trapline has about a 5% success check rate off the rd. system. This means we should get around 4 animals a check :tup:
Post by: TeacherMan on October 29, 2012, 11:05:15 PM
good times on the line,,,I have been away awhile,I was thinking you were moving back to wa state :dunno:
I tried Rasbo, I tried! Its all about the money. I had a great teaching job lined out but my wife couldn't get one and we couldn't take over a 50% cut in pay. Since we bought a house. We are hoping to live it up for 4 to 5 more years then get back into a Western state. AK is nice but way to spendy to get out and see family. We are coming down for Christmas break this year and its costing over $1,000 a ticket :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :'( because they know they can get it. >:(

The first pic the snare is really hard to see because I dip my blind trail set snares white. Look for the swivel in the brush and follow it out.

Figure we are getting around $60 a beaver up here and $5 a rat it adds up fast. Cats are around $250, fox last year averaged $90 (expecting that to be down this season to about $50), Marten $100, and wolves I sell taxidermy skinned for $600+, our weasels I also sell to taxidermsits for $20 plus shipping and they go all day long. I run about 50 weasel boxes, flying squirrels on the taxi market $30 ea and the XXXL wolverine I got last season I traded for a rifle that I since traded for a .500 S&W with a box of ammo plus a Leupold 20-60x80 Spotting scope, case and tripod :chuckle: With that said gas in Wasilla is $4.19 a gallon and I take a 6 gallon jug with me. I drive a Jeep Rubicon and it gets about 19 mpg but only has a 15 gallon tank.
With all this said I put aside a couple $K at the beginning of the season so I have gas money :chuckle:

First pic is coming down the trail to my first set, second and third pics are of what was in my first snare, fourth pic is on the remake of the set, fifth pic is the set that I lost a critter in with track leaving it, and the final pic is of a new set I made on top the ridge about 1/4 mile from the place I lost the last animal. Notice all the tracks running down the ridge (its a dirt hole set). I also put another snare down the ridge about 200 yds past the dirt hole.

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.

Started to get little quiet on the line. Lack of snows making it hard to find the pockets of animals. I'm going to head to a completely different area tomorrow to broaden my range.

I know you guys can't use snares but seems like I'm having a problem with my mico locs this season. They are not staying locked. He was a perfect neck catch but the snare kept slipping. I think I will have to go back to cam locs next season.
I never did like cam locks. I would think you would have problems with freeze ups with them. Maybe not in the weather it looks like you are getting in recent pictures.
Personally I liked small L locks I made myself.

Very strange year up here. Should have a foot of snow at least if not 2 or 3 on the flats. With that said its been in the singles and negatives everyday. Very cold!

So what are those things you are calling rat's??? They look more like a beaver cross to me.... Never seen one before and we trapped a little when I was younger... Use to get a lot of mink by or even in water but never one of those... :dunno:

I will have to add my trapping pics to this catagory this winter season. Been looking for sign but nothing yet. They will come and meet the ultimate modified Victor Rat Trap. Got one named Maggie (from 1st blood) that is stained red.

awesome! havent gotten a fox in years! they are some awesome little cirtters! keep up the good work! how are the prices on fox furs?
I sell 90% on the taxi market:
$65-85 for reds
$165 for cross
$250 for silvers
these are taxidermy prices, not tanned just taxi skinned. Buyer also pays overnight shipping. If I sell to Nafa much less. I've been able to sell all my stuff within 24hrs. so far this season. The fox in AK are much larger than any I've seen in the lower 48 plus have very thick beautiful fur :tup:

To answer the other question yes to predator calling. It's just an issue of getting to the area I like to call about 3 hours out but has tons of wolves and lynx. Have a couple days planned the end of January going back in on machines and staying in a remote cabin.

looks like a 330, better show the set as well!
330 cut into a 5 gal bucket with a 1/4 of a wired beaver in the back and an overdose of Gusto. Cut the tracks just yesterday. Followed then 1/4 mi on snow machines then he cut in. We set that area with 6 sets for him. When we reset I'll take pics of the sets.

Side note, I've been out of my classroom for two weeks and just got back today. Kids bring me trapping bait all the time I trade for home made snares, etc.. Anyway I left 1/4 of a moose hide in a black bag in my heated stockroom over break, forgot about it :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: Wow! I'll get it out tomorrow! It will make a good addition to a bait pile. We got a surprise firemarshal check yesterday and I guess they didn't spend as much time as they usually do in my back room :chuckle:

Never posted these from when I was in WA. Went out with my dad several times and we killed a ton of yotes!

Did you guys get more yotes after I saw you that morning? I think you had already got a few by the time I saw you.
Yep! We got a double and another single. I think we had 4 when we seen you.

Are coyote hides worth anything in AK? Is their hair lighter or thicker making them more valuable?
Everything in AK is worth more, lol. They are much larger on the average with lighter colored thick hair. On the fur market or buyers reports you see them called "brush wolves". I. Get about $60 a yote about double to triple WA pups price. With that said I HATE getting them because they are so nasty to flesh.
Post by: TeacherMan on January 13, 2013, 10:38:22 PM
Do your AK coyotes have lice in them?
Mange is a problem in some areas but I've yet to deal with it on yotes. Had a nasty wolf with it last year. I always trash bag and Raid my fur for a few hours before I skin.
Never really noticed them as a problem up here. Think it's to cold, no ticks either.

One of the fox I got when pulling, I really liked this set it was going across a frozen swamp with one little tree about 3/4" long. Had a trail passing but it and I attached a 1/16" camloc snare to it over the trail. Good quick wrap up ;)

Interesting...... Do you not use dive sticks?
I've found from just watching rats they will ver out of the channels with a dive stick. It's like a chin lifter on a snare. Works great for bush trapping but in rural areas fox avoid them like the plague. Rats spend most of there time swimming the bottom of there runs. That's why you can see the warm trails. Trial and error got me here. 200 plus rats last year doing it.

Are those foothold victors on a sliding drown set?

There are ways to use these traps in WA. That's why I am asking. I set a lot of those down here as well. Can't beat a good old burlap sack full of rocks.
Very cool! Didn't know you could that makes things easier. My partner checked them yesterday when I was out snow machining and we got a double in them ;)
