Andrew, thanks for being my inspiration this winter. In December I was diagnosed with lung cancer and now the doctors have back peddled on that but I've been fighting pneumonia ever since. They still don't have a clue what is wrong. After watching your videos I decided to get my fat ass out there and quit feeling sorry for myself. My black lab Ursus and I checked the small beaver and otter line I put out the other day this morning and I just finished skinning the first beaver of the spring season. My mind is clear, my body feels great, the dog is happy and I have you to thank for it. Keep it up my friend, you have no idea how many people you may be helping.

I was 90% sure it was the same wolverine from the game capture camera, but after watching few more videos I'm 99% certain it was the same critter. The neck markings are a give away and most of the Wolverines do not have that much colour from what I have seen in your video presentations. Your Mum will love it. It is a unique animal and thank you and Charlie and your family for sharing with all of us out here.

Love your videos Andrew and I can relate to the sore thumbs and finger joints when turning pelts. Try this trick you'll love how the fur stands out. Once its turned on the stretcher spray it down lightly and then tap it hard on the nose both front and back while on the stretcher and watch the fur stand up. Really fluffs them out. I miss trapping lynx, marten, fox, wolf, and beaver off my skidoo tundra when I lived in Alaska but get my fix watching you now.

Thanks Andrew for the great video, beautiful Lynx, I have 4 of the chiappa little badgers, 1 of the .22lr 1 in the .22 mag and I have 2 of the .17hmr. They are a perfect gun for the trapper or camper etc, they are the closest and easiest firearm that I have found to Carry/pack, the only other thing that would be easier in my opinion is a pistol/sidearm holstered ready for emergencies, but because we live in Canada and we need to jump through hoops to carry legally the chiappa is the next best thing.
