    Giving this thread a bump up, I know Tanner is working hard to catch what he can.
    I grew up just down the road from him, (kinda related lol) we started trapping around the same time but we went to different careers as we grew older. Sometimes wish I could still get out trapping as it has it's charm for sure. And I'd love to take out a bunch of wolves! But for now I'll just have to promise to do my best to take out any that I see with my logging truck.

    Borrowed Dad's pickup to go up the highway to set out some marten boxes and check the line.

    When trapping in the mountains here most of the trails are on creeks and rivers. The same place the wolves typically travel. This is different from the flat ground closer to Fort Nelson. When putting in these trails I am often following wolf tracks and am watching where they are going trying to get in there head so to speak. Looking for opportunities. It makes sense to me to put in the trail and set it up for wolves first. Then add sets for other animals after in the places that don't interfere with the wolf sets. Marten, wolverine and such are easily called in with bait and lure. And rarely have the caution canines do. So I don't think this method hurts there catch much. And am sure catches more wolves. Wolves are the priority, the other fur helps with the expenses.

    Spent the night in an old cabin on the line. Added some more wolf snares before heading out. On the way out I picked up a marten in one of the traps I'd set yesterday!
