Finally! Having to wait until December was tough! It will be harder because of the weather, but hopefully..... Have a great day too Igor, and thank you very much!!
Nice to see you have started ! I am always interested in your wolf sets. We do not have wolves around here, and not big enough population of martin or fisher for a season.We are allowed to keep one accidentally caught fisher. After that they are turned into DNR. Mostly bobcats, coyotes, beavers, otters, minks and muskrats on the Southwest end of Nova Scotia. All the best to you and Cindy. Have a great day!
Thanks! We have marten, but few if any fisher. I've never heard of a fisher being caught here, but Norther Idaho has quite a few. No season on them though. The wolf sets are pretty much just big coyote sets. Everything is bigger, traps and spacing. It's hard for me to remember to set the trap back farther....it seems "wrong" but they are a lot bigger than coyotes! Thank you and good luck to you too!
Alright the wolf season is finally open. Good looking sets on those traps. If any come through that area I bet their nose will lead them right to the trap. I like the cover you built for your pickup bed too Good Job well thanks for the videos
Thank you very much! One thing I didn't plan on, is that that Army tarp has a lot of smell to it from whatever they treat it with. I hope that smell doesn't linger on my traps.....
There is. It's a lot of work, and a lot of luck too. Catching them is the "easy part" also. Skinning, fleshing, and stretching takes a lot of time and effort.
That was a great video. What’s ironic cause I sent you that Doug and Stacey podcast with the chemtrail lady and in the beginning of this video when you’re showing off your canvas cover on your truck there are chemtrails over your shoulder in the sky.😂
Glad you have all the trappings of modern trapping! I hope you get some this year. Is there a wolf hunting season or just trapping? I look forward to seeing you check the traps. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks! The Wolf hunting season is pretty much year 'round now, but I've had zero luck hunting them. They travel so much, and are so widespread, it really makes it tough. I have a friend that has done amazingly well hunting them though.
Morning you two! Good luck on catching something. If your smelly, Cindy make you undress before coming in.😂 When my hubby was so dirty,greasy,or whatever, he would strip down, on the porch😂 have no neighbors. Straight to the shower. We been having trouble with skunks, digging under the barn. Problem solved! We enjoy your videos.. we laugh and hope right along with you. The Hales
Thank you. It's hard waiting this long for the season to open. It feels "too late". I could have caught some coyotes or fox by now, but they aren't selling for much, and if I had caught a wolf accidently, I would have to turn it loose......that would be very hard for me to do!
Good Morning Muskrat, Ya that nose spray is better than fox pee up the nose that is. 😅I know you are excited to be trapping. Hey your pickup bed cover looks great. Keep on Trapping. 😊
Good Morning! HA! No, that wasn't good! Sure made my eyeballs water! I like that cover so far. One thing I didn't think about though, is those Army Tarps have a lot of smell from whatever they treat them with. I hope that doesn't affect my traps.
Good Morning! That foam packing stuff works great. It's waterproof and ice doesn't stick to it very bad. White too, in the snow, it blends in really well. Thank you, hopefully they come back around!
Good morning Gary, and best of luck with your wolf sets. I was very happy to see those wolf tracks as I'm sure you were. Pretty hard to catch a wolf when there's none around . As long as there's tracks, you have a chance. It takes quite a bit of time making good sets. Add a fee more each time. I put out 3 Coyote snares yesterday. Slowly I will get them out. Have a good day my friend.
I was locked out of my former account with YT shortly after I subscribed to you last year (?) or whenever it was. I just subscribed again yesterday with my new account; glad I found you again. Will be seeing you there. Looking forward to a great season. All the best in your efforts for another season.
Good Morning! Very nice to see! This is a spot I trapped several years ago, and not the "normal" place. I hope they stick around! It is slow.....I'm picky about where and how I put them too. You are off to a good start. I'm way behind this season! It's cold and clear here today, but looks like a nice day. Have a great one!
@@MuskratOutdoors, Seems like we always have to get that lure on us somewhere, lol I lifted my head one time and got it on my hat. I always say, you want to catch the animals, you have to smell like a animal!
You might want to watch; off grid with Doug and Stacey from two days ago;” topic: no one wants to talk about it, but she did” A 42 minute video on chem trails Best I’ve seen yet TahoeTom😊
Funny thing is, she has ruled in our favor in the past? I don't know why she did this , this time? The Montana Judge, Don Molloy, has been trouble for as long as the wolves have been here in 1995.
Good Mornin'! That cover looks like it'll work just fine. 25-30 sets fer woofs is a fair string. That'll keep ya busy fer sure! Lotta work just gettin in to check 'em. No carcasses this year? Too bad F&G wouldn't turn loose of some road killfor bait. Not sure bout the law on that. Cant resell "trophy" parts, not sure bout reusin' carcasses fer bait. Beautiful days! Clear blue skies, and almost too cold to play. Eye surgery tomorrow. Wish I could say this one ain't got me a mite skeered. Stay Frosty, Bud!
Good morning Darrel. I hear ya with the upcoming eye surgery. If you have time to reply, is it scheduled for AM or PM? For what it might be worth to you, I believe in prayer and will be reminding God to look after you and have the best outcome, as, I'm sure, many of us in this little community will be doing the same. A great bunch o' good people hang out here. Bless you my brother and I look forward to a good report.
Thanks! We can use road kill now, and inedible parts of game birds or mammals. Until a few years ago, that was out. I'll have to watch for a road killed deer or two. Yeah......ya got an extra eyeball, but you kinda want to keep both of them! Good Luck with the surgery. That is scary, but they have gotten so good at it, it's almost as safe as trimming your toenails........just don't use a chainsaw!
Your off to the races. That wolf could be a scout. I sure hope you bag a few. The coyotes here coywolves & can be pretty big. The govt. got a $50 bounty on them this year which is double what it was in previous years. They are taking a lot of woodland caribou. That and the sale of the fur makes them worth going at. Best of luck.
Thanks! I've heard of the Coywolves, but never seen a real good picture of them. Fur-Fish-Game will have one in it now and then. Trapping for a bounty in 2024! Who would ever have thought we would be doing that? Our program here isn't a true bounty, but its similar. We are "Reimbursed" for expenses, so to get paid, we need to have recites. Good Luck to you, get a bunch!
I sure hope your sets pay off. There's no Wolves anywhere around where I'm at. How long is the season? What is the behavior of a trapped Wolf? About like a Coyote? More aggressive? I'll be looking forward to your videos when you check those traps. Have a great day and thanks for putting out a video every day. I look forward to it.
So do I! It's pretty iffy really. I need to try to get a bunch more traps set. They changed the season this year, it was open from Sept.10 to the end of March. Now it's open Dec. 1st to the end of February. The ones I've caught haven't been very aggressive at all.
Lmao 😂good morning pepe le poo! Skunk sure is hard to get out of clothes and skin. All kidding aside, I wish you good luck with the Wolves and Pine Martin's. I appreciate the videos. Have a Great day
Muskrat as I watched you set this trap I remembered the time a black bear messed with your trap and try to kill you while you struggle to set it free. Them days are golden 😂 it took you the entire day to set him on his way. Some trapper would've killed it but not Muskrat.😅 Not all trappers are killers.
The coyote problem is bad around me most all the game birds are gone used to hear grose drumming all the time and I have only seen five pheasants my whole life but they are slowly coming back we could stand to have a few more people hunt and trap for coyotes in my part of Michigan and no it's not just the coyotes that have are birds so low some of it comes from over hunting
I used to think the tracks I was seeing were coyotes, but on my trail cameras, I don't hardly ever get them. I get a LOT of fox though, some are really big. Not living in Michigan, I can't say for sure, but the lack of game birds sounds more like raccoons to me? They find nests and eat the eggs. It sure could be coyotes though.
Mornin brother we got a dusting of snow in southern NC last night can you believe it, glad you got some wolf traps set hope you catch a bunch have a good day enjoyed the video👍👍
It's a foam rubber packing sheet. They use it on things like refrigerators. It's thin, 1/16th inch or so, it's odorless, waterproof, white, and pretty tough. It works good.
good work ! Iam not a fan of coyotes but I am a evan a bigger anti-wolf detractor. not much trapping allowed where Iam but someday would like to run a few traps.
I actually like them both, but they do need managed. Before we were allowed to hunt and trap for them, they over populated and really destroyed our deer, elk and moose. Thanks to the F4WM, the money is good too!
You should set a trap by your bear bait I’m willing to bet that’s a female we seen on camera and seen run across the road that time had lots of scat from the rock side to the right might have a den
Good morning! Yeee haw.wooopiee.undeniable wolf track and its way better than nothin.pretty darn good size too.i sure hope you catch some.they help out the pocketbook a little bit more and you deserve it.thanks again and good luck muskrat!
That was a great video. What’s ironic cause I sent you that Doug and Stacey podcast with the chemtrail lady and in the beginning of this video when you’re showing off your canvas cover on your truck there are chemtrails over your shoulder in the sky.😂
Old trappers never die, they just smell like they did ......... Looking forward to your trap checks, good luck
Very true! Thank you!
So, the Season got started. Looking forward to the first wolf caught in. Thanks for sharing, have a great day!
Finally! Having to wait until December was tough! It will be harder because of the weather, but hopefully.....
Have a great day too Igor, and thank you very much!!
Awesome video brother , very interesting and informative , great job ! Thanks for sharing !!!!! 🙏👍😊❤
Thank you very much!
Reminds of my dad and childhood man. Thanks so much for sharing brother 👍
Great! I'm glad this brought back some memories.

Morning 👋🏻 I’m late today 😅 Have a nice evening ❤
Good Night now, I'm late too! I hope you had a good day too!
@ 👍🏻
Love watching those traps disappear when you’re making those sets. Reminds me what I want to do next trip. Good luck !
Good Luck to you!!!
And, here we go! Thanks, and have a good day!
Yee Haw! Hopefully a few come around!
Morning Muskrat! Happy Trapping!
Good Morning! Thanks!
I learned two things from this video.. You're a damn good tracker/trapper, and you know how to sharpen a knife. 👍
HA! Thanks Ron!
Smell-o-vision in full effect..😂 blessings for your wolf trapping Muskrat. Good morning😊
HA! That stuff smells bad enough I wouldn't be surprised if you could smell it!
Good to see you trapping again Gary, beutiful country.
Thank you very much. Are you trapping yet?
Wow Gary this sure is exciting I can’t wait. Good luck
Thank you! It's a waiting game. Hopefully it pays off. I have a LOT more to go set!
Yes indeed. We trapping now. Good luck!
Hopefully catchin' too! Thanks!
Good luck Gary ! hope you have success. We cant start over here until Jan 1. bummer
Well they are at least some traps out there if nothing else. Betcha feels good to be out in the mountains again. Good luck with the sets👍👍
It's a start. I've got a lot more to set. Hopefully the weather holds and the wolves come back around. Are you trapping yet?
Good Morning 🌄...WooHoo 🐺
GOOD MORNING!!! I hope they stick around!
Awesome stuff Muskrat, hopefully those wolves loop back through for you 👍👍
Thank you! I hope so too!
Alright the wolf season is finally open. Good looking sets on those traps. If any come through that area I bet their nose will lead them right to the trap. I like the cover you built for your pickup bed too Good Job well thanks for the videos
Thank you very much! One thing I didn't plan on, is that that Army tarp has a lot of smell to it from whatever they treat it with. I hope that smell doesn't linger on my traps.....
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for Watching it!
Good mornin and many blessings. Very cool to watch you work Gary. Good luck out there!!!!!
Good Morning! Thanks!
Great show Muskrat good luck to ya, great cool sets.keep the wolf trapping vids coming.
TIGHT CHAINS 🇺🇸
Thank you!!!
Minnesota Rancher. Watching you setting that first trap, looked like you were gardening! We are frozen up stiff here. Best of luck!
I'm amazed the ground isn't frozen! Very unusual for this time of the year! It's been cold, right now it's 11F, but too dry to freeze.
Woopie!! Good luck with the 🐺 trapping. Have a great day.
Thank you! Hopefully they will come back through.
Let the fun begin👍
I sure hope so. You can check a lot of empty wolf traps before catching one.
A lot involved , didn't realize that.Good luck with the traps.👍🇺🇸
There is. It's a lot of work, and a lot of luck too. Catching them is the "easy part" also. Skinning, fleshing, and stretching takes a lot of time and effort.
Those tracks make me very hopeful that there will be something in your traps when you go back! 🤞
ME TOO! I wasn't expecting that!
Have a great day hope you and Cindy are doing well
Same to you. Thank you, things are going good now.
That was a great video. What’s ironic cause I sent you that Doug and Stacey podcast with the chemtrail lady and in the beginning of this video when you’re showing off your canvas cover on your truck there are chemtrails over your shoulder in the sky.😂
Good luck with the Wolves
Thank you very much!
Love it. Can’t wait for a check trip….👍❤️
Thanks! It can be a long wait. Wolves move long distances fast, and don't come back sometimes for 2-3 weeks. Hopefully these hang around awhile.
Wood ash from the wood stove will help with the skunk smell!👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸
Really? That's good to know! Must be the lye in it?
@@MuskratOutdoors I think you!
Good luck
Thank you Paul!
Glad you have all the trappings of modern trapping! I hope you get some this year. Is there a wolf hunting season or just trapping? I look forward to seeing you check the traps. Thanks for taking us along!

Good morning friend hope you have a great day today brother be safe out there
Good morning! Thank you! I hope you have a great day too!
Good morning Gary. Good to see you got out and making sets. You enjoy your day. 🇺🇲🌲🔥🔪
Good Morning! It's a start. I need to get a lot more set out!
good morning brother 🙏 thanks 4 the video ❤ God bless u and your family my friend 🧡 🙏
Good morning! Thank you very much! I hope things are going well for you too.
Good Morning MO 'n all. A wonderful day. Gonna get my coffee and settle in fer a visit.
Good Morning! Pull up a chair and sit a spell!
Good luck to you 👍
Thank you! I'll need it!

HA! She has made me do that a few times....quite a few really!
Glad to see ya finally got some steel in the ground Mr. Muskrat .
Thank you. It's hard waiting this long for the season to open. It feels "too late". I could have caught some coyotes or fox by now, but they aren't selling for much, and if I had caught a wolf accidently, I would have to turn it loose......that would be very hard for me to do!

Good luck hope you make a catch fast
Thank you! That would be great!
Love to see ya trap a wolf ....watchin
Thanks! I hope so too. I got some videos last year if you care to look them up.
Good morning Folks! Dang interesting I tell ya. We have a large wolf population up here.
Thanks! Are you allowed to trap for them? It's a great challenge!
Mornin' !
Good Morning!
Remind me not to go walking in the woods in Idaho during trapping season my God
Any of the Western States. Actually, almost anywhere in the country you can find traps from about October-April.
Good morning young man.
Great sets.
I like the foam under the trap, Gr8 idea.
Knee pad super too.
Good luck and very nice sets.
Have a great day.
Good Morning! That foam packing stuff works great. It's waterproof and ice doesn't stick to it very bad. White too, in the snow, it blends in really well. Thank you, hopefully they come back around!

Thanks. I'll look it up. I'm subbed to them, but haven't watched lately.
Sounds like somebody needs to give that Judge a ride to the Train Station !

It's been dry here. I can't believe how little snow there really is. On top of the mountain, it's pretty deep though.
What kinda paper do you use to protect your pans?
It's a foam rubber packing sheet. They use it on things like refrigerators. It's thin, 1/16th inch or so, it's odorless, waterproof, white, and pretty tough. It works good.
good work ! Iam not a fan of coyotes but I am a evan a bigger anti-wolf detractor. not much trapping allowed where Iam but someday would like to run a few traps.

I see you use your bare hand to bait and lure do you have a lot of dig outs
Very rarely. Once in awhile, but not often.
How many wolves can you get?
There's no limit, but I have to have a tag for each one.
You might dab a little of that martin lure behind your ears and call it cologne. Or, you might not....
HA! The Zombie Virus Social Distancing is real easy for trappers!
You should set a trap by your bear bait I’m willing to bet that’s a female we seen on camera and seen run across the road that time had lots of scat from the rock side to the right might have a den
They do go through there fairly regular. These are close to that spot really.
Good luck 🐺🪤 !
Thank you!
Good luck,still nice to see sign,hope it won’t be long till they come back
Thank you! I hope so! Sometimes it takes 2-3 weeks.....
Hope your catch rate is high
Me too! Thanks!
Good morning! Yeee haw.wooopiee.undeniable wolf track and its way better than nothin.pretty darn good size too.i sure hope you catch some.they help out the pocketbook a little bit more and you deserve it.thanks again and good luck muskrat!
Good Morning! Very exciting!! A lot of times I wonder Wolf or hound dog, but that one is no doubt a wolf.
That was a great video. What’s ironic cause I sent you that Doug and Stacey podcast with the chemtrail lady and in the beginning of this video when you’re showing off your canvas cover on your truck there are chemtrails over your shoulder in the sky.😂
I noticed that too....strange really since we don't live under a flight pattern. We get one fly over now and then, but not like some places.
