S22Ep6: Turbulent Air and Wolverine in a Milk Crate!

[@deernutOO]

Awesome trip. Thanks for taking us along with your trapline check, and congrats on the fur.

[@survivingminnesota8381]

I love the video of the mountains. Looks like they go on forever.

[@isaaclandecker907]

They really do!

[@kevin6002]

Another great day in paradise. Can only imagine flying in the mountains and the downdrafts. Stay safe.

[@isaaclandecker907]

It’s a gorgeous place!

[@masstrapper7645]

Very nice catch. Really bright crown on that wolverine. Real beautiful country up there 👍👍😎

[@scottlindquist9107]

I’m not sure who’s going to hate seeing the trapping season end more, you or your audience!!! Better keep those lucky m & m’s handy when flying through turbulence!!! Stay safe and thanks for another great video!!!❤️

[@isaaclandecker907]

I definitely ate the M&Ms on this trip! They are lucky! 😂

[@Outdoorswithmike]

Another great video awesome catch. Glad you are doing well coming from outdoors with Mike northern Alberta Canada 🙋🏾👍🏽

[@isaaclandecker907]

Thanks!

[@Outdoorswithmike]

@@isaaclandecker907 You’re welcome ✌🏾👍🏽

[@benburns5995]

Congratulations on catching that nice Wolverine. Glad you had a successful flight with the downdrafts from the mountains. You must have been exhausted when you got home.

[@isaaclandecker907]

The bad weather is definitely exhausting! Thankfully I treat myself to Qdoba if I get a wolverine so I got replenished.

[@holgerawakens7784]

The Wolverine Master! Great job - six in one season is fantastic. Good luck with the sets at that new area.

[@isaaclandecker907]

Thanks!

[@dougsmith548]

Thank you Isaac the flight over the mountains was phenomenal. Thank you very much stay safe 🇨🇦✌️

[@mikej8732]

I would've had to open the sunroof to yack--also what a festive beanie

[@isaaclandecker907]

The beanie is really what makes the experience come together 😂

[@danielmastin3606]

Awesome check 👍, dang scary in the winds I bet. Thanks for sharing

[@raymondurban3388]

Absolutely gorgeous up there. Stay safe thank you

[@reapergrim76]

So awesome! 😀

[@barrydeacon3551]

New white crates worked!! Better make/buy more for next year👍 6 wolverine TOTALL so far: well done 👍B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

[@isaaclandecker907]

Yeah! I have 2 out still so we’ll see if they produce!

[@healerf18]

Love it. If you have the time it would be great to get a video of your emergency preparedness when flying the backcountry in the winter.

[@isaaclandecker907]

I think I actually go over that in the first video of the trapping season. In case you want to see it.

[@jrjenner]

Best trapping videos on KZbin

[@isaaclandecker907]

Thanks! I’m not sure they are the best, but glad you enjoy them!

[@timgurtner5248]

What a season so far on the Wolverines along with your other catches!!

[@isaaclandecker907]

Thanks!

[@wolftrapper6709]

Awesome trip Isaac. Your doin good like your new sets and the camo around them

[@isaaclandecker907]

Thanks!

[@thebackwardstrapper]

Those milk crates are awesome huh! i use them for racoons here. Your learning every time i watch your vids. keep it up.

[@hunt4fish]

cool vid! I hate over mountains when it's turbulent as well, not very comfy! I can see if weather cooperates with those last sets, contact for sure as animals will follow along shorelines and right into you sets. Man, what spots you have access to is amazing. Those 2 wolves beckon eh? Alaska dreaming now! Take care Issac.

[@isaaclandecker907]

Haha! The wolves do beckon! It’s some great country

[@glennpurchase807]

Good trip if you take away the turbulence. Nice to see the wolves.

[@rossnelson1098]

Hey let’s keep it safe pal! Great season

[@isaaclandecker907]

Safety is always a consideration….😂

[@donlandecker]

Keep it going! Best season so far! Next time out …. Wolf video was nice!

[@isaaclandecker907]

Yeah! It’s going well. Excited to see how it all finishes out.

[@johnmccorry2397]

I like your Cub what does it weigh? Great videos keep up the good work Thanks

[@isaaclandecker907]

It’s around 1150 on 35” bushwheels.

[@servingme09]

Uncontrollable updrafts, downdrafts are real are real attention getters in a light airplane with minimal power. Takes a lot of flight time in those conditions before it begins to feel slightly tolerable, if ever.

[@isaaclandecker907]

I’m sure! It definitely is not enjoyable I know that.

[@interioralaskaadventures]

I could be wrong, but it sure looks like some of the tracks where you caught the wolverine are wolf tracks. Four toes very distinct compared to a barely distinguishable 5 toe track. Nice catch!

[@isaaclandecker907]

Yeah, actually when I watched the video play back I realized that none of the tracks were from the wolverine because they didn’t go within 5 feet of the trap. So something else was checking it out.

[@interioralaskaadventures]

@@isaaclandecker907 Do you set for wolves? Although it may be difficult to get a wolf especially if frozen to fit in the plane.

[@isaaclandecker907]

@@interioralaskaadventures I haven’t set any for wolves. It may not be a bad idea too, but the sign seems to be rather inconsistent.

[@collinsmith9572]

Fed ex must be some good luck for you man. Nice blonde wolverine.

[@isaaclandecker907]

Gotta love fedex!

[@wolftrapper6709]

Just 1 question. What’s your plan if ya single engine stops over them mountains. Just wondering

[@isaaclandecker907]

In that event I would basically glide to the best landing spot I can locate. It would probably be in the bottom of the valley. Obviously this would be a bad day.

[@jtn-minn8105]

What are your fur prices up there? About how much will the wolverine bring in the round and put up?

[@isaaclandecker907]

I haven’t sold any yet, but I’d imagine $200-$500 or so.

[@joseywales2189]

Can u over trap the wolverines in a area? Love your videos

[@isaaclandecker907]

I think it is definitely possible to do that. I would say shutting down traps in areas you get females is probably a good way to manage it.

[@dafrmami]

Question for you. Being a chicken flyer like myself and you having a couple of scary situations during your last trip,will you completely forget them on your next trip?

[@isaaclandecker907]

I think it is definitely wise to remember the lessons learned but not to let the fear of it deter you from going. In this case, I learned a safe route if I experience unforecasted downdrafts/turbulence in that area.

[@tomwright4759]

Awesome video I just finished groundschool on jber. Did you edit out the downdrafts I'm sure that's scary but I would have like to see what that looked like.

[@isaaclandecker907]

Congrats! I didn’t edit the downdrafts. I did not film them though since I was a bit preoccupied with white knuckles and clenched butt cheeks 😂😂

[@toddg9659]

A mink in a 330 is not all that common. Most of the time you’ll end up with a snapped trap. Congrats and another wolverine. Keep on keepin on.

[@isaaclandecker907]

Yeah! Got lucky on the mink!

[@toddg9659]

@@isaaclandecker907 With the way mink prices are I’m not sure if that’s been lucky or not 😂.

[@isaaclandecker907]

[@hopemorrison2367]

Do you make money from trapping or you do it for fun you don't catch very many furs

[@isaaclandecker907]

Pretty much everything I do is for fun! I’ll sell some though to supplement the piggy bank though.
