My wife started working in the Yukon and, being an avid hunter, decided that being a trapper would be a logical extension of her outdoor pursuits. She recently took the trappers course and a friend of ours has taken her on as an assistant trapper. Last weekend was the season opener and I was up to visit and accompanied the two of them on the line as they set up snares and a few coni's for wolf, coyote, lynx and wolverine.

Setting up a conibear style trap.

Rigging a wolf snare



Baits were out, traps set and the waiting started.





This weekend yielded 4 wolves and a coyote. :) A good start to the year! Hel was ecstatic and it pumped her up even more than she already was for trapping.

Now all I need to do is get myself transferred up there. :)

That's awesome. Good for them. Five less killing machines roaming the woods.

Awesome! That's the way to control those things! Much more effective than hunting.
