Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Trapping FishinHank's 2017/2018 trapping journal

Got this guy last night. Nice color on it and a real nice throat patch

Cool!

nice!,
is it slowing down ,or do you move your areas?

It's been slow but steady. I am trapping a pretty small area, it normally isn't cold enough to let them go without checking for more than a day or two. The wind can really howl down here and it can make getting to the beach really difficult. I am hoping to cover a little more area next year. I only have a couple of weeks left but I will more than likely pull my sets early, I have enough to get a nice hat made so I am happy with the season.

Yeah skiff trapping is a whole nother kinda deal isn't it Hank? I'v got a handfull of otter sets close to town that I can't get to cause of this storm. Congrats on the marten!

Very nice! I used Gusto the last two seasons, good stuff!

I love Gusto! Smells like money to me, haha! Ran the line for the last time today. My catch has fallen off and I am happy with the season so far so I called it good. Only had action at one set, but either the marten climbed on the spring and knocked the trap out or snow falling from the trees knocked it out. Got a free meal. Always next year.



Nothing on the trapline so I went and jigged up some dinner instead.

Very nice! That yellow eye, must have made a great dinner! One of my favorite meals.

Hi FishinHank,

I would love to see a picture of your "so simple it's brilliant" flower pot sets mentioned earlier in this thread. Those pictures seem to be deleted. I am a new trapper and looking for a flower pot idea.

Used to love following these threads, haven't heard from Hank as much.
He must be in love,,,,

I wish Rong, My sails used to be full when my trapping journal was on tman but they deleted it. That was a solid source of all kinds of info and its gone now.......

I didn't know what I was doing anyways, but it was fun to tag along! I see they deleted everything over on Tman

My 2011/2012 journal was pretty fun.......4 wolverines and a lynx.

I caught 3 wolverine this year, all big boars but lynx are making a fool of me. I pulled my entire wolverine line on Sunday and reset yesterday in lower, better lynx habitat. I want at least one lynx this year and have 2 separate lines out specifically for them now.

Good luck, I hope you get one! The one we got was way out of its normal area.

I really miss trapping wolverines
