Weekend Whiteout
Snow or shine, traps have to be checked, so out we went!
Hauling a load of moose bones & hide to use for wolf bait, my dad pushes down the trail. We had to break through 30 miles of snowdrifts in a -20 blizzard just to get to where we started checking traps! Not the toughest trapline run out there, but it was interesting… AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENTAdvertisement |

Thanks DSMbirddog! Yeah, I definitely know how that goes! Sometimes it seems like it's not worth the effort..but you never know what you are going to catch, and one good day can make up for a lot of bad ones! dropjhook, if she ever changes her mind, just head north! haha! I will be sure and keep you guys updated on what I'm up to, it will be a good year!
I once spent a whole month trying to convince my better half on moving to Alaska. Never worked out though, so I have to just enjoy reading about it. Keep the photos coming help me live there threw you!djh
Trapping is tough. I used to trap when I was younger but never got back to it after college. It seemed like I usually ended up wet and cold a half mile down a creek bottom from my pickup. Good luck Tyler.
It was pretty chilly! It's been slow on that line so far this year. Mostly due to the large dumps of snow we keep getting that bury the traps. We got another 2 feet last night, which probably put all the traps we set yesterday out of commission. That's the way it goes sometimes.
It looked interesting until they got to the 20 below part. be sure to let us know how the trapping went on that line.
