I've looked at more empty sets than full ones over the last 40 yrs ! Do you ever use large baits to catch the wolves , or is that more trouble than its worth ? Good stuff , keepum comin !!!

[@enigmaticgwichin1630]

Yeah there is a lot of countryside animals are walking around on it’s not always going to be stepping in traps. About the largest bait I’ll use is a third a moose skin or a full caribou skin. The wolves up here seem to shy away from big bait, not sure why I think they know better. Moose and caribou kills can be different but placed bait make them really wary. Thanks for watching! Have a good one

None of us make catches all the time Brother But I hope I'm still at it when I'm 80 like your Uncle. Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@enigmaticgwichin1630]

Thanks! Yeah he’s in his late 80s now. If he had somebody helping him he would prolly still be out there. Thanks bro! Man that beaver you got had a huge tail👍

You can always tell a real trapping channel by the misses. I’ve checked many empty sets myself, I always tell myself the next one will have something in it. Good luck next season. Let’s hope for tight chains. 👍👍

[@enigmaticgwichin1630]

Thanks! I was a bit worried how the video would go with no catches but I’ve only shown the actual day out there and not multiple trips.

[@southernrootsalaskanbranches7]

What caliber is your AR15? And have you ever thought about getting a trail cam you can get good footage of them critters and see how clever they are and learn they’re tactics a bit more

[@enigmaticgwichin1630]

My AR is in 223/556. Yeah I have a couple trail cams I just never got around to setting them up. I actually got some as cards in so now I have no excuse. Thanks for reminding me. Have a good one

[@peterweikel7123]

What would you consider the best rifle carrying setup on a snow machine

[@enigmaticgwichin1630]

The one I carry the most is the AR-15. As long as you tape/cover the end of the barrel and leave the dust cover closed it really works well. A lever gun or bolt action both have part of the action open for snow and other foreign debris to make there way in. I carry another rifle, bolt action usually in 22mag in the sled or on the side of my snow machine but it’s in a hard case or soft bag to keep snow out. Oh yeah I have a 22longrifle bolt carrier group and mag with me so I can shoot 22lr out of my ar-15.
Thanks for asking and have a good one👍

[@aftermathwhite4955]

To much talking, to much riding, to much music. NOT enough trapping.

[@grantfamilyadventures8342]

All that stuff you mentioned is part of trapping. His videos are perfect.

I'm not a subscriber because I do not want to watch a 5-minute video stretch to 30 minutes with very limited action.
