Lots of help over there for the wolves, check with F4WM, bunch of their cooperators have it figured out.
Yep, I've been a member for a couple of years and have had the privilege of chatting with several accomplished wolf trappers, really looking forward to being able to go after the Ultimate Predator!

Takes me back to my first fox, chain rattling in the dark. This would be another level up. This would be similar to walking up to my first bear. Nothing like walking up to a deer. :) I have a friend who described walking up and finding his trap missing, lots of wolf tracks in the snow, then the sound of chain rattling in the pitch black and then the unmistakable woof/howl of a big wolf. Scans with his headlamp and sees those eyes staring back and the breath in the cold morning. THAT, I cannot wait for!! :)

I'm getting some traps ready this weekend and ordered 6 more. Got some permission to trap in what country so I'm excited to get after it again next week!

Today I drove by one of my weasel box sets and the box was gone. Got out and checked and found it 10 yards away. Box was on its side, lid open, trap snapped but stuck on the side wall. Bait was gone. Set of coyote tracks walking up to it. Ok, game on! :)

I am unable to properly run a wolf line and I prefer not to do it half assed. Next season.

You get a water line out yet ?
Post by: Machias on February 14, 2020, 10:02:00 AM
I have permission to trap a nice property and found several mink boxes with 120 conibears in them along a stream. Contacted the Land owner and asked if he'd given permission to anyone else and he had not. So I was going to leave a note on the box and let him know he/she was not allowed to trap there, but no trap tag and he/she has not checked their traps for over a week now. So I called the Game Warden and he came out and removed three sets and left a note and his business card in a Ziploc baggie.

Very nice !! You ever try the power ram snares ?
I have not, but would like to try them. I've watched some videos they put them down quick!

I used some snaring otter (been a while). Those things are dangerous, be careful if you get some. Be pretty easy to see someone losing some teeth if one of them got away from you.
