Great vid, agree on the wax dirt. I use wax SAND, and swear by it for the extremes here in far northern Wisconsin. I am still a bit new to it all, but even with all the wax sand, I still have had the trap jaws freeze in at the outside edges and not fire,. I last watched a fisher shuffle all over my trap pans...so lately I am adding salt to the outside faces of my trap jaws at prep time. I saw you added antifreeze, that is key....I tried a technique where in prep time I dipped each trap in water and rubbed the outside of the jaws in a pile of salt, like making a margarita glass rim - it actually worked. Hopefully that’s the final piece of the puzzle for me.
How do you set traps in deep snow? Like 2 or 3 feet plus of snow. Have been looking but every video I've seen so far thst says setting traps in snow is usually just a dusting of snow.
Hell fire,! That's what dad said on the farm here in w.n.y. When he left for work,said I'll have a permit when I get home yeah right,I want to see u get one of them to serve & protect! The large calf died (350lbs of registered polled herferd breeding stock it actually was its self intent for its life) A price tag? Try to put one on a calf like that? Average at the time was $5000.00 for a heifer like that? Go figure. Angevine swamp of western n.y. as well as Bergen swamp of western n.y. Talk about wolfy looking eastern brushwolves & big folks, I mean big! Screw all there 50lb noises & b.s. adult females break routinely at 65 lbs. H &R 10 gauge with a 36" barrel halts all their mischief instantly.

Tom Murphy I like a dogless but not in Alaska as much because they iced up with frost
bonjour, elle est super ta vidéo. J'essaie de me lancer en proposant des vidéos de ski freeride et randonnée, si cela peut t'interesser.
finally I was trembling and feeling sickly it has been too long dude glad to see you are still kicking LOL
Trapper Ted :)
Getting the itch again!!!
These metal traps don’t work good enough for me, even with all this preparation, I don’t get anything
Takes time and patience. Got to be in a good spot. Definitely gets discouraging sometimes
