Watched a few YouTube videos and got some gear out a few weeks ago. Finally had some critters come through. Got one and had one break my snare. Short season for us but next year going to expand into a fair amount of bait sets with foot holds.

The auction market is a bit dicey right now because of covid. I sell almost all my wolves privately to hunters Ive guided or my trapping clients. Most Ive gotten was $1000 for a real nice one. An outfitter buddy sold 6 wolf hides in one hour on crack book. Prices ranged from $600 to $850 USD

I'm seeing tanned hides for $500 for average greys with white or blacks bringing more and large exceptional blues up to $2,000 USD

Great catch.
If legal set up winter bait sets and hang snares all around them. Bring ‘em to you.
In the long haul more efficient than footholds.

We did a similar set a few days ago. Got gear out and fishing. It's a roll of the dice if the big pack some through in the next 23 days. A lot on the island I set on so I am hoping they get to my bay before I have to go pull gear. 30 day season sucks.

Yep, guys like Morley are sure worth listening to.

I applied the 'hang snares in the thick stuff' to feral hog trapping, lost count of how many I snared over the 9 years of being in that hunting lease.
I'd dig a hole with posthole diggers pour in stewed-off corn w/grape/strawberry koolaid mix in the thickest spot I could find back in the swamp. I'd use cheap construction wire that can be found in lowes/depot in the sack cement/concrete foundation area. Place two runs of wire one 10ish inches off the ground a second run of wire 16-17 inches high. And repeat that run 8-9-10 feet wide ''pathway'' to the corn, open ended, two ways in two ways out gang-set with several 1/8'' snares.

I had a 8x12' camping shack 9' off the ground, roofed, 5'6'' walls, window in every direction. Cot, full size mattress, wood-burning stove, office chair.
Over time I heard hogs/coyotes and a fox get caught in traps snares - 300-800 yards away, wow are they loud in the still of the night.

The video is great thanks for posting. I’ve set up baits in thick bush and down in bulrush beds on the ice for coyotes and it works really well.
Setting up an overlook hillsides with a bait below I have not done, sure looks like it works! Neat to learn new ideas and methods.

Wolves haven’t come through yet to my bay. Put out a bunch more gear today. Wolves were howling above me most of the morning. Stuffed a beaver carcass in a hole to hopefully draw them in If they come through I have plenty of gear waiting for them. Hung a camera too. I have till the 15th.

I trap coyotes with snares in Michigan there's no season on wolves but most years I snare a couple wolves by accident....its not that hard to catch one if there was a season it would be simple to catch....

Never have used bait just put my snares on "runs" used every year or deer runways....i think if bait was used probably catch even more wolves so don't use.....

Like to snare in heavy forested confers its the winter area for deer yards and hunting grounds for coyotes after snowshoe hare and deer....

All truth there, or I should say here. If you recall back around”13” when we had a couple of years of wolf season in Minnesota the hunters did not fare well in shooting them but when they turned the trappers loose the quota was filled quickly.

I do not think they are overly hard to trap, however here in Minnesota and I’m sure the other states deep snows make it tougher. Stringing cable makes it less work and is more efficient.

The MN wolf season was a quick end, Both times I had a trapping tag and both times quota was virtually filled before it opened. If it ever comes up again I think I will be trapping lots of coyotes the week before it opened!

I think the trappers who do best in that situation are/were guys who had trapped the same areas for quite a while and had a real good feel for when the wolves would come thru and from which direction. Some areas have longer travelers. The flip side of that I know a back Blandin road trail that has tracks every other day, maybe two or even 3 home ranges overlapped there I would guess and the guy who set on it was successful within the short season.
When trapping my area up until last season I had to deal with at least one a season when setting for coyotes. That was less and less as years come on as the coyote population plummeted here and I trapped less for them.
