  • I believe you are never too old to learn more lessons, especially in this game. What a great experience, going up against one of the super predators of this world, getting your thoughts stretched out and you techniques trashed. Till next time, Grey Ghosts.

    Morning Clark!!!
    The pack rats we have here in Central Oregon don't know how to swim😉...(can't just turn them loose, they'll come back and stink up the place again).
    I have a live trap (just like the one you are using) and it hasn't failed me yet!!
    Best "bait" I've used was on a tip from a 'good old boy' who was born here...(Thought he was pulling my leg at first, but after trying it, he was spot on..and it DOESN'T TAKE LONG for them to take the bait!!)
    Try a DRIED DATE affixed with a bread tie on the back of the trigger plate... amazing!! (doesn't matter how old and dried out the date is, the packies can't pass on them!)
    We also have yellow bellied marmots.. we refer to them as "rock chucks"... between them and the sage rats (Belding's Ground Squirrel) they can do a fair amount of damage to a paddock by digging holes for their burrows (these holes can prove treacherous to livestock legs!!)
    Curt, Esther and Trapper have a beautiful property!! So nice you and Judy are able to go enjoy these visits with the family!!
    Safe travels, friend ❤❤
    Stay FROSTY...
    Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel...

    very interesting to see the snares. I'd done some research into Victoria's Button Man who camps in the High Country for months at a time and apparently hunts deer with traps. Trying to figure out how he catches them without using illegal snares. How does one catch a deer in the wild?

    "... don't know how to swim..." lol
    I have the same problems with skunks here in Montana. Still trying to teach them to swim ( or at least hold their breath ). Caught 22 year before and 23 last year. Hoping for 24 this year.
    Will try your dried date tip, thanks. ☆

  • @adrianbird4116
    @adrianbird4116 5 місяців тому

    Clarke, have read something somewhere about ‘waxed dirt’ which trappers prepare and use in cold weather. It doesn’t freeze and allows traps to function normally in freezing temperatures. Might be worth a look for next time you are in BC trapping in the winter.

    G'day Clark. Thanks for another great video. Sadly we don't need to worry about snares taking out our Curlews and koalas now because we have developers backed by politicians and journos taking out their habitat for urban sprawl and bulldozing land that the alp wouldn't allow to be cleared for food production to be resumed for solar panels and wind turbines.

    • @ClarkMcGhiesWildCountry

      Nailed it. Spot on. Renewables mean more land clearing than anything else, more mining, more destruction of the environment than anything else.

      My grandfather told me the Indians would throw them on the fire coals, fur and all, and roast them. He was always trying to get me to try one! 🤣
      On a side note, they can be very destructive. I had cousins in southern Idaho who raised beans along Rock Creek near Twin Falls and the Rock Chucks (Marmots) would about eat them out of house and home. They strung electric fence a couple of inches high the length of the fields to try to keep them out but they went right under and and ate the beans 25 yards from the fence for hundreds of yards. I had a 22-250 heavy barreled Ruger and would drive down for a weeks vacation to shoot them at distances up to 400 yards. I could shoot 30 in the morning and go back and do it again in the afternoon! This was 40 years ago and now there are houses all along there.

    Are the wolves considered pests out that way or is trapping them strictly to harvest the fur? BTW, they looked like healthy wolves so the elk population must be pretty decent. I've seen wolves while flying an DHC-3 Otter in Northern Ontario and Labrador a lifetime ago. Beautiful creatures. I'm thinking that my old parka has wolf fur trim around the hood. (The parka is 45 years old and I still use it on the coldest of days.)

    • @ClarkMcGhiesWildCountry
      @ClarkMcGhiesWildCountry  5 місяців тому

      Personally, I don't consider many things as pests but some are sure problematic!! The wolves are having a huge impact where the control measures have failed to reach a balance.
