I heard time and time again on this board and elsewhere on the internet that this season was doomed due to winter kill. 100% mortality some were swearing by. Everybody I have talked to in WY has said they're seeing just as many critters this year as last, and quality too. No different than after the tough winter of 2016/2017. Bump to the top....I'd be setting wolverine drive traps tomorrow but decided to elk hunt late this year and am headed out tomorrow, so I guess my trapping season will get cut short this year. No biggie. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/531lZNz.jpg) You shot a Gulo with an Ithaca 37? You may be the biggest stud in the stable! Well done.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Same tree, same trap, same Ruger Single Six, the following year. I think I have trapped 4 mature boars and a sow wolverine at that spot. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/4TWrI0h.jpg)

![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/mjohPZd.jpg) This is my Dad's 10/22 from the way back. Idk how long he had it, as long as I can remember. Anyway, shout out to Ruger because they haven't changed their magazines in the 60 years since it was first introduced. The original magazine got lost somewhere in time. I bought one off the shelf, loaded it with 5 rounds of CCI Blazer to do a function test. I pointed it into the ditch and it went pew pew pew pew pew and then click. Do the new ones have last shot hold open? This one doesn't. The serial number is not available on the online lookup, idk if it's because of age.

Chowing down on a metric chit-ton of Oysters Rockafella after the Urbanna festival yesterday... Sunset at a friend's house on the York... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/59Fk8QrG/398217043-10228400549816886-6952448975654652637-n.jpg) Strong drink was present... Leviticus 10:9 missed... Crappy cell phone pic.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Muddy day project. North side of our old barn took a pounding from hail. All five windows blasted. Over the course of the summer and fall my parents fixed the broken windows up and I reinstalled them. Got the top one in this morning, ain't been up there in damn near 35-40 years?! ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/e78/montanasam/20231107_095309.jpg) ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/e78/montanasam/20231107_095344.jpg) ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/e78/montanasam/20231107_112312.jpg)

Not sure, hundred and something. Pretty cool. Does your family have a long history on the place?

I doubt a single six would be needed if using a 330 unless I'm grossly underestimating the size of a wolverine and their ability to still breath and live with a crushed neck and airway.
