I've flown into Venetie many times. I flew for Warbelows. I flew your chief out of Venetie about 22 years ago. He died on my plane. Good trails and much fur to you.
Thanks for sharing your memories.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Bonavista bay Newfoundland
Thanks! Welcome to the channel. Cool I’ve always wondered how it would be to live by the ocean. Read a bunch of books about it as a kid. Thanks for writing
Very cool man, loved the music on this one. R.I.P little mouse. Love the good old .22mag. Thanks
Thanks! Yeah good mouse survived a while. Have a good one. Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing bro God Bless
Oh yeah. Glad you enjoyed👍 have a good one
Good video, I enjoy them. Hello from Maine, USA
Thanks. Awesome! My favorite podcaster is located over there
Your editing has really come along. Enjoyed the commentary, music and blend of video shots. Great job
Thanks! It takes time to put them together but it’s well worth it
Another cool trip!!
Ya, when I was young. I shot a quail with my pellet gun. It was flopping on the ground. Out of the corner of my eye. A great horned owl swooped down, and picked it up 😉👊🏻🇺🇸
Thanks!
Haha that’s awesome. I mean at the time it must have sucked but now that’s a story you’ll be able to tell forever. Have a great day👍
It looked like a beautiful sunny day/evening on that check. I really enjoyed the ride along and especially the trapping stories!
Oh yeah perfect day to film out there. I wish I had told more stories on the next couple episodes. But gotta save some for next season. Thanks for watching👍 have a good one
Thanks for taking us along! Love riding along with you folks!
Glad you enjoyed! I’m editing the next episode 👍
Beautiful pups. I enjoy your content. Always uplifting. Good luck on the spring goose season. 👍👍
Oh yeah great dogs. Thanks! I just picked up some shot shells, another week and a half they should be flyin over the village. Thanks for watching
Awesome scenery fun video to watch 👍🏽
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. A couple more to come. Have a good one👍
🎉🎉🎉
❤️
Good show Brother! Nice that you were able to pick up another Lynx. No free-er feeling then being out running the line. Sorry about your daughter's mouse. Life ends and new Life begins! Cute pups. Best wishes to you
Thanks! Good cat on a great day. Yeah all other problems melt away when your out in the woods. Yeah good little mouse survived for a couple years. So cool the other pups came the day before. Thanks for watching bro! Have a good one
Beautiful country!! Well done.....
Thank you sir! Have a great day
I appreciate that you are not afraid to mention God in your videos. Would love to hear about your journey.
Thanks. He’s got me through allot. I’ve been dealing with horrible chronic pain for over 14 years. If it wasn’t for the good lord and the wife he blessed be with, not sure where I would be now. Thanks for writing👍
@@enigmaticgwichin1630 I am always amazed how God allows us to go through the difficulties of life so that we learn to trust and love him. Is funny how the majority of our growth happens in the valleys and not on the mountain tops.
Stack those geese and ducks up this spring great video
Definitely! Almost a case of shot shells I’m about ready for them to fly in
Thanks for the video bro
Oh yeah bro! Took a bit longer than I had hoped to get it up here but I’m glad you enjoyed. have a good one
Well done...from Seldovia
Thanks! Seldovia, that’s awesome. Hope you enjoyed a little piece of my winter👍
👍🏽✊🏽
Thanks for watching👍
I lost my Tundra kill switch the same way, thought SkiDoo would sell just the red part that snaps in. NOPE. $75.00 for a new complete kill switch assembly. Plus an hour of my labor to rewire it into the harness. Good luck on the geese. Mosquito season soon too! 🤬
Ah man I was worried that I would have to order the whole setup. Oh man the geese are within 50 miles so another week or two. Haha I plan on stacking up the mosquitos this summer. Bug zappers and salt guns are coming out soon. Lol
Good on fuel enough power ,love mine in a renagade
Oh yeah that lighter frame on the renegade, the 600 ace prolly does well. I have a friend that has a expedition with a 600 ace. Sounds like it got the job done
Keep up the good work.
Question, what did your people use to catch critters before you had traps and snares? 40 years ago, I watch black and white a video of the Russians using dead falls to kill Martins. That video had to be from the 40-50's is my guess.
Keep up the good work.
Yeah so back in the day it was snares and deadfall’s. Snares made from caribou skin. You would have to check your snares every day so the animal would chew its way out. Thanks for watching and have a good one
That wolf looks well fed.
Oh yeah she was thick with fat. A really health specimen. Thanks for watching
I had lots of one Lynx trips like that. At least with the ACE the Lynx pays for the gas. Did the Caribou make it to you yet? How's geese season looking? Any avian flu?
The music is not my favorite. I'd rather hear the ACE engine.
Oh yeah it’s nice to make at least one catch out there. This is the fourth winter on this 60 ACE on eco mode can’t beat the gas mileage. The caribou are really spread out everybody that’s gone out have only shot one or two it’s been a bit frustrating. But if we can get a few before the snow goes we’ll be good. Grizzlies are waking up. Kinda hard to show everything we do up here. A lot of people out there won’t understand. There are allot of geese landing in Fairbanks and they saw one flying around Fort Yukon south east of us about 50 miles. But we had a blizzard here that dropped 2/3 of a foot of snow and then blew it all around. Haven’t had an update on Avian flu. I’m a F&G management rep for my village. I would love to show more of the engine sounds but there are a lot of people that watch this that would prolly skip over those parts, not everybody is used to hearing a snow machines engine hum. I still miss the bravo-elan-tundra engine running sound sometimes. Lol
I was in Yellowknife for work all week so I have not been out. It's been blizzard here since I got back. Finally slowing down. Geese were as far as the start of the Mackenzie. Robert Semple was looking at a new 900 ACE before I left.
@@muskrat411 yeah winter is hanging in there. Cool, there are a couple 900ACE Skandic machines here. Sounds like everybody that has one has put in good work and liked them
Can you do do a video of skinning animals, I’ve been super interested into trapping lately
I’d like to do more videos like that but I worry about how CZcams would look at it. I try not to catch to much blood on video. Apparently the Algorithm doesn’t look kindly on blood.
But I’ll catch something on film. Thanks for asking👍
thanks for the ride along,,sorry about the pet mouse..
👍, thanks, don’t care for mice that much but that one grew on me
great video as always! Nice catch on the lynx. You mentioned the goose hunting coming up - what do you get for geese around there? Canadas? White front? Snows?
Thanks. Awesome weather to film out there. Yeah that lynx was caught just right for a lynx. We get all three here. Usually have to get a ways north or south away from the village to get a bunch though we get allot of high flyers over the village.
Great camera work , i really enjoy your videos. What would be the closet town I might recognize? Watching from central Ontario Canada
Thanks. The GoPro I use works great. The closest city is Fairbanks Alaska. 150 miles straight south of us here in Venetie.
so, you don`t use a snare to choke an animal to take its air from it , to expire it, watched Cree indians doing this instead of using a 22. Have you ever used welding wire as snares too?
How long in distance is your trapline? I am Nisga'a from the Nisga'a Nation in Northwestern British Columbia Canada. I have met some Gw'itchin from the Yukon.
The season in this video it was around 30 miles. This year was about 25. If there was a bigger market for lynx we would run another 5-10 miles on top of this line
Nisga’a, I’ll look it up, very cool. I need to go visit Canada some day for sure. I have family over there but have never been
I apologize, I spelled Gwitch'in wrong. I enjoy watching your videos. My son enjoyed watching your videos last night too. How do you get into your remote community? We are as isolated as you are, we live about 70 or so miles away from the closest town.@enigmaticgwichin1630
@@leonardguno5065 no worries, I’m glad you and your son enjoyed the videos. Venetie is 150 air miles north of the nearest “city”. No roads connect us to the outside. We sure love it out here and are really blessed.
Do you like your 600 ace in the Skandic
I’ve been trapping and hauling firewood for years now and it’s done great. A few of my friends have a 900 ace and love it as well
Just curious as to how many different species you have trapped in Alaska? Being from Wisconsin we don't have near the variety you do.
So starting small on up. Shrew, mouse, red squirrel, ground squirrel, weasel, muskrat, mink, marten, fox, coyote, lynx, otter, wolverine, and wolf. I have not trapped beaver, but I have shot more than a few. I’m not an expert at catching birds but it was something my people did up until about 70 years ago. Also not sure if you count setting fish nets as trapping but we regularly catch 5 different types of fish in gillnets and a couple smaller fish with on bank set hooks. Thanks for asking I hadn’t thought about it in a while👍, I’ve met a few people from Wisconsin they were all really proud to be from there. Must be a great state! Have a good one
@@enigmaticgwichin1630 yes I really like it here. Born and raised for 64 years. I do hunting fishing and trapping but no trapping for beaver this year with all the flooding. My son got me into trapping, he had over 100 beavers last year. For us it beaver, muskrat, weasels, otter .

Where are you?
Venetie Alaska. On the Yukon Flats.
This video was filmed over a month ago. But we still have plenty of snow around.
Thanks for watching Mr Hindle. Have a great day
@@enigmaticgwichin1630 probably better not eat that lure on your picnic. Might get eaten alive by a ermine.
Punch bug's will be out better strap some iron weights on so they don't carry you off
Can you help me find "veedeeti" on the map? I'm sure I'm not spelling it correctly. Lol
Venetie Alaska 99781
Copy paste that into google. Let me know if it doesn’t work. 👍
@@enigmaticgwichin1630 found it! No road to get there huh? Guess I won't be dropping in on yah. 😉
@@Josh444mar lol. No roads yet. Maybe in a couple more decades.👍. Thanks for writing
What do you stop 6 times a day 4 a picnic or more
Lol. Only on the nice days. At -65f, it’s just dry meat and fishstrips along with hot tea.
Bear guns are out and carcasses are ready to be set up near a hunting blind👍
@@enigmaticgwichin1630 you know bear meat can have trcinouses and poison people. Make dam sure it's cooked well done and frozen asasp. Same with woof they have lots different diesesus when you handle them skinning you cut your self get it hydrogen peroxide immediately washed out. Neosporin on. Guess moose caribou cattle get parasites from eating grass where woofs have shit. Gets in intestines and kills the animals. So when you are out on our picnics I wouldn't be spreading woof shit on bread. Makeun sandwich
No matter what people told you that hole right below the tail on animals isn't the bullseye. The kill zone is behind the front legs. So quit being a ass shooter. That's where the best meat is
I was always told you people of the north can go months with out eating. Keep on a moose's trail till the animal gave out skinned it's self out. Cut and wrapped for ya. Going to have to investigate the whole notion now. I no the indians in my neck of the woods. Eat dogs. Called a 7 course meal a dog and a 6 pack or a BLT. Black lab on toast. Peta isn't to keen on the idea
