Andrew you have the best trapping videos out there on KZbin, your personality and style are what makes your channel so unique. When I watch your videos it's like reading a good Stephan king novel,. Leaving me wanting more. I wish you many years of health , wealth and great trapping. Keep those vids coming, thankyou.

Hey Andrew great to see the first Trapping Tales for this year!!! Yeah been a tough year for trapping this year so far with shitty weather. Was =28c on Saturday and today its +2c and rain today, never no what to expect. We even dropped a sled through the ice just before Christmas, stupid weather!!! Keep the videos coming, take care and keep safe, Kevin.

I agree its slow all I got so far is 20 martin, 10 beaver and a couple of weasels, I just called the MNR today to get permission to go after a few wolves on my trapline as they have it closed as a reserve for them, we'll see.

If I may.........I was trapping in the Yukon for years and most challenging was to catch all wolverines that I had on my line however after years of trying different methods I found that this worked the best. Set your 330 (without getting of snowmobile) by scooping snow next to your trail while sitting on your snowmobile then reach for the spruce branch break little branch and place it on the bottom of where you scooped the snow and then place 330 with trigger smeared with SCENT or some very very stinky small/tiny bait just enough to arouse wolverine leave it WITHOUT drag next to the trail. What you will find is that each and every time when wolverine comes by and tries (and he WILL) to sniff out the trigger he will set off 330 and his skull will get crushed, he will get killed INSTANTLY without moving one single step.Let me know if it will work for you also. Thanks

Nice to see the vid, sucks when something gets away especially a wolverine. I hear you on the snow conditions I couldn't ride my sled on the line til recently which really screws things up. Sharp tails are big but the Blue grouse is way bigger and better eating too but you probably don't have them around there they are mountain birds. Hopefully you catch up with that wolverine soon and connect on some wolfs. Can't wait for the next one

Too bad this trapping year is off to a rough start for you. The weather is weird all over. It is +4C here today when it was -25C the other day. Odd. On the upside, you have a sweet ride with your dad's ski-doo for now. It would be interesting to see the build on Charlie's insulated 'boggan. Fur prices are supposed to go up this year so hopefully things will get better and you can make up for lost income with the wolves.
