I just found your channel. I also have a trapping channel south of you in British Columbia. Like you, I caught mink in marten boxes in unexpected areas. Last 2 seasons only one per season and this year 4, all away from water?
Great video. Right around the 17:58 mark there's something in the background that seems to get behind the spruce, peeks out, then tucks back in. Any ideas?
That was my first guess, second was a GIANT WOOKIEE, but I understand they are believed to be extirpated from that region, and I for one am glad they're gone! The Canadian military sent me to Anchorage for a couple one month trips, and I had the only two months in my life where I 'might' have been convinced to change my birth certificate...Amazing place! @@AdventureHuntsWorldwide
I love your channel, it's raw and you do not cater to the woke - Thank God! Please keep the old ways and traditions going, they must not die. This country was built on trapping and the fur trade, and it propelled the new nations of Canada and the US to grow into the powerhouses that we are today. Again, thank you for keeping the great tradition of trapping going you big Kiwi!! 🇳🇿 🇺🇸
@@AdventureHuntsWorldwide Limited experience with conibears on possums (trap type failed DoC land ethics 10sec unconscious standard when introduced 1980s) seemed to show bait placement critical for better chance of better kill. Double spring superior. Some removed a spring for weight reduction, which wasn't a good idea. Possums using their paws to grab the bait on ground sets seemed a problem at times.
Are you a Kiwi mate? Sounds like it. Good on you anyway taking on the North American wilderness. I hope you're successfull & keep safe. From an old kiwi Hunter.
I don’t know how Alaska trappers get away with sifting snow over their traps. In the lower 48, sifted snow makes a hard crust over the trap. It obviously works up there. Maybe just a lot colder.
you do have to be careful how you do it as you certainly do get a crust forming, I don't mind a crust with wolverine footer sets as I want them to really stack some weight on the pan before it goes off. Im no expert by any means but I think if I can make them wrestle with the bait while on their hind feet they break the crust and set the footer off also with a lot off weight and get a nice deep catch. hope this makes sense.let me know if you have any good ideas. thanx bud
@@AdventureHuntsWorldwide I’ve seen other Alaska videos where snow is sifted. And you guys know way more than me. It has failed for me, but for animals lighter and less committed to the set. I have successfully slid the trap in from the side without disturbing the surface snow. Have also done this under existing tracks in situations where I know they are going to step in their track rather than make a new one. But I need a fence line or something to hide my own sign. It works. Snow is tough for me. You are never without it. I got nothing but respect for you guys up there.
Exactly, that's what assholes do. They piss of any other opinion and bluffing with the shit they do! Go find a job, the world don't need those sick good-for-nothings who only spoil nature. Those days are over!
According to the latest U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Penalty for Violating and Trapping a Wolverine according to the endangered species act (ESA) in 2024 & 2025, has Criminal Penalties up to One Year in Prison & a fine of up to $50,000.

Well we're mighty proud of you 😂 good lord could you possibly come off as more of a jerk he's not in the US he's in the UK!!! and natives do trap wolverines in Canada 😊 051captinron CB.CH.17 Washington state I've taken lots of big blacktails & Roosevelt big bulls so let's just be a little more respectful🙏😊 big guy
That was a conibear trap. There is no more humane way to kill an animal than what that trap did. @bobstewart4342 you are showing you know nothing about trapping. If he emptied that trap in the dark, we would not have gotten that beautiful shot of that gorgeous fur in the daylight.
lol what person has balls enuff to ask for less cussing ? lol Karen’s that’s who ! Last I checked Alaska is an American 🇺🇸 state means we have freedom of speech lol . Go away !
Beautiful landscape and primal life your living alot of people's dreams 😊
Rite on man for real great day ahead for you.

Nice job on the video, good luck!
I love your channel !!!! Gotta get a .22 tho lol.
Great video, excellent landscape shots!
Beautiful country .
That’s the calmest wolverine I’ve ever seen lol
Those are some great catches!! Now you have a good idea where to hunt moose next year!!
Great video. Right around the 17:58 mark there's something in the background that seems to get behind the spruce, peeks out, then tucks back in. Any ideas?
Thanks, would be another moose.

Great country to be trapping in
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Absolutely gorgeous wolverine, congrats
🤘🏼
Love the cabin!
Are mink worth more than martin? Arent they bigger?
A 23in male martin is worth $80, and a mink is worth $10. Martin will be larger in size.
@@AdventureHuntsWorldwide wow ,thanks
Great video! What do u use as a bait in the boxes?
What music is that? Sounds great!
Can you use those mink's and weezzel's for Wolverine bait?
you can, I had an abundance of other bait so I didn't need to
Your set brother your set. 👍nice mink.
Love it man
Where in the world are you? Alaska? BC?
Alaska

Respect the animals you catch.

Würde gerne mal einen Wolverin zum Präparat machen wollen wie dran kommen?
Wolverine fur doesn't freeze when you breath on it. That is why Eskimos use it to line the outside of their parkas.
What is it at 14:00
A mailbox someone else used for a trap years ago.
Sweet as mate
Just found your channel and subscribed
I trapped when I was young and still love it ! But right now it’s December and I live in Hawaii on Kauai !!! I is the trapping but not the cold !
Can you not dispatch the animals? Since your trapping?
dispatch I do with a snare pole on bigger species, the smaller species I let the trap do its job so as to not spoil fur

They could dispatch the animal but they are cruel and low IQ.

Why are you hunting/trapping wolverine? Are you going to eat the wolferine?
Because that is how we (as trappers) make our living. Oh... and we like to piss off you bleeding hearts.
Exactly, that's what assholes do. They piss of any other opinion and bluffing with the shit they do!
Go find a job, the world don't need those sick good-for-nothings who only spoil nature. Those days are over!
An how much do u get paid in blood money 4 killing a Wolverine?
@@stevebarr5301 I think it’s around 250-300 blood monies right now
@@mtnmn6237 You cowardly rat obviously can't hunt like a real man. Trapping is for cowards!
You know wolverines are a protected species right?
every species here in Alaska is protected in some way, hence why the trapping and hunting is fairly good
Wolverines are a fur bearing animal and can be legally trapped in Alaska and Canada. Be smarter... think before you speak.
@@AdventureHuntsWorldwide lol smart sob🤌protection here means prolonged but surely slaughtered🤫🤦
Nice big black wolf. Lots of meat ther on that bull moose.
Удачи, 👍
you got to go further into bush, then you wont get mink, to close to lake your traps,
OK👍
eine unmögliche Situation!
😢
لماذا يقتل الحيوانات المسكينه اين حقوق الحيوان ام هي تطبق على فئات وفئات مسموح لها باالعبث باالبيئه والحيوانات المسكينه
And all for a freakin fur coat in China. Hell of a Job you do
I live in Alaska as well. Whenever I find a trap I make sure I remove it and dispose of it so that it can never be used again. G'day mate.
And why is that? Most states it's illegal to tamper with legally set traps.
Down here in Montana, you should see what we do to those that we catch messing with our traps.
Hopefully ADFG sees this finds you and takes the max fine out of your account
Fucker. Hope you go to jail
Taking food out of the mouths of people trying to make a living during a season when work is harder to come by. Go back to the lower 48

How would he like that if did that to him..hunting exotic animals should be illegal.no respect for 😮 hole...
these are not exotics, we can legally hunt and trap here in Alaska
You have a beautiful country and amazing wildlife i would love to live like this but scotland doesnt have anything like you have ❤❤
A real trapper would have dispatched the martin, not leaving it to die overnight You're a wanna be and a never will be a imitation trapper
Thanks for your educated opinion. Much appreciated.
Think your mixing this video with that of another Alaskan TH-camr.

Sorry didn’t mean to offend. We all have our struggles.

Why your kill animals?
this is despicable
Less cursing would make your video better.
Dude, you should be on the children’s channel.
No land for Nancy pants!
A pair of balls would make you a better man

Girly men don't trap,, manly men trap.
