Its been quite awhile since I have posted a thread on my trapline activities
Just about winding down for the year almost finished up for the season.
I have a registered trapline meaning Im the tenure holder for trapping in an assigned area.For management reasons I divide my area into 1/3rds and trap 2 of them every year.The valley where my main camp is wasnt trapped this season.I still travel up there to make sure all is in order.
Today a friend accompanied me

I was gifted this knife on The Canadian Community Forum.A beautiful custom from a Canadian Maker! Wasnt put to to much work today but it will be. Im liking this blade and the effort that went into the manufacture

My camp was in good order need a few chores taken care of which I will do in the coming week.Mostly snow shovelling was around 6+ feet on top of the woodshed
Looking north again with the camp at the bottom of the picture-tried to get it all in there but not really

Abolsutely stunning shots ...... looks very cold and very white :D Thank you for sharing ...... I think my African @ss would freeze off in seconds ....just not built for that .... what do you wear to stay warm ....do you have more shots of the cabin .....did you build it? What do you trap?

Have a great day!

Very impressive place and pictures. You would think somebody in an archaic landscape like this must have a huge chopper or a geeky multifunctional survival knife - but in fact the knife looks very nice from what I can tell!:D

Best regards and thanks for showing these!

For a winter wonder land the pics you posted are just stunning.
What wood do you use for heating your cabin?

I agree more pics please of your area and some of traps and where you have them set would be great also.

What wood do you use for heating your cabin?
Usually what is easily available,and mostly softwood spruce pine hemlock or Douglas fir.Camp is a little high in elevation for birch our only harwood here.Its always nice to head up every year in the spring to cut the winters firewood

How big is the area you are assigned?
My area is over 500 square miles

These are all the pictures I took yesterday.I do have older ones on my photo hosting site.
Im basically a marten trapper,but do catch other furbearers-wolverine,mink ,otter ,ermine,beaver ,muskrat,coyote.No fox ,or cats here.Some fisher but no season.Tried my hand at wolf trapping (they are new here in the last couple years)this season but no luck yet
 
Spectacular pics.All the snow makes it look like where I live here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Would love to get into trapping.
 
Awesome pics as always, it makes our recent snow flurry look very pathetic !
 
Be sure to post some pics of you using that knife on some critters. Love seeing those Northern fur bearers! Are you using traps or snares?
 
Oh WOWOWOWOW those pics are amazing.. Not into cold but to wake up in the morning to a view like that, I wouldnt mind the cold. I guess i would put my vote on here as well more pics PLEASE.. Have you thought about seeing if you can sale some of those pics?? You might be surprised. Tell us more about the cabin and how to find it too if you dont mind LOL..

Beautiful pics! I'm jealous.

Small tip: the snow tricks cameras. They try to make the snow a neutral gray, so the pictures come out underexposed. A lot of cameras even have a "Snow" setting. Or, increase exposure compensation to about +1.
 
I also think the pictures are very good, but I am almost more intrigued by the wood shed than the cabin! Can you describe the construction? Is the top cylindrical?
Is a knife the size of the one shown your main working blade?
How many traps do you work on each line? How long do you stay on your lines each winter? As a real far south guy(currently about 300 yards north of the Gulf of Mexico) all this snow country stuff is really interesting to me, especially when I get to look at neat photos. Thanks for the treat.
