- 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.

Love BC. Keep em coming Clark. Regards from Aus.
Good to be in a different country. Makes you appreciate home more
Beautiful country , love the cabin .
What a great unspoilt young man very envious great times for you and your I had tears when you lost your dog been there sad
Looks lovely Clark I look forward to your next video mate take care.
Certainly a nice bit of country and great to catch up with the family
Great video mate.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Am REALLY enjoying you taking us on such a special vacation! Thank you! Love love LOVE your vids! Watching from the USA 🇺🇸
Watching from southern B.C.
Magnificent countryside
Clark you've put together a great video log there and young Trapper is a chip off the old block. Love it.
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...

Really loved your adventure to Canada. I’m a little further up north in Alaska. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.
Well Trapper is going to have a load of good memories of time spent with his granddad.
Looks a lot like our hunt camp in Ontario. Nice to see the wolves.
This series shows your commitment to learning, and shows that the knowledge you already have transfers to anywhere in the world if you are smart enough to modify your approach. Good stuff.
It is a beautiful country but i could not handle the cold. I was getting goose bumps just watching.
You get used to it pretty quick.
Happy Easter to you and Judy and the family Clark. Regards Mark from Redlands.
Lovely country and great to have time with family. Thanks for taking us along.
Hi Clarke I have been to British Columbia and Alaska. Fantastic places to visit in the summer but no way will I want to be there in winter, too bloody cold.
Looks really nice over there Clarke. Cheers mate 👍 🐕 🤠
Thanks for bringing the videos that is beautiful country can't wait to you come back looking forward to your next videos thank you.
You must have felt like Grizzly Adams in that country, beautiful place thanks for sharing it with us mate
Great video. That boy can ride. The Aspins sure are pretty.
So proud of those kids, they are pure country. Eldest son has his clan there as well and they are just the same.
@@ClarkMcGhiesWildCountryYou know, B.C. can use more good people, you'd be most welcome here if you ever decide to leave Australia!
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?
We do have a beautiful Country Clark as you do in Australia. We would welcome a guy like you and Judy as well to spend as much time In Canada as you would like. From an old guy in Ontario.
We intend to do a bit more cruising around next visit, get in the truck and roll. Your country is awe inspiring.
Waxed sand is the trappers friend here in the north country.
Thank mate keep the videos coming, watch out for the big foot (seriously)
lopin,
"... 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. ☆
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.
Thanks for the tip! Learnt a little too late. K&E just grinned, said I should have used the snares 🤣
It’s like a whole new planet over there
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. Regards Mark from Redlands.
Nailed it. Spot on. Renewables mean more land clearing than anything else, more mining, more destruction of the environment than anything else.
At a guess, I think that rodent was a Groundhog
Clark, you can have the snow, frosts and really cold weather. If I want to see snow and ice, I'll stick my head in the freezer! there's a reason why we live in Queensland!
I too love the cold country, but maybe that's because we live in the heat of WA lol
pack rats are massive ...built a nest like an eagle in the roof
Looks like the Smithers area!
Nice ❤
Yellow-Bellied Marmot Clark.
Taste a bit like Koala 🤣🤣

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.)
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.
Clark-when and where was this filmed? Thanks
Last year in Northern BC
Baby groundhog
First...❤
