Great pics, folks! :thumbup:
Spent yesterday afternoon helping a friend who is a biologist for IDF&G with setting up a wolverine trap (so they can put a radio collar on it, and set it free again).
On the way in:
The trap. They haven't baited the actual trap yet, but they are "pre-baiting" right now to draw wolverines into the area, and watch for sign. Ifd you look closely, you can see a deer leg wired to the trap above the door:
The trap will eventually have bait inside of it, on a wire connected to the big swing arm you see above the trap, which will slam the door closed.
Even so, there is often not a long window of time before a wolverine will chew/claw it's way out. I've seen some pics of traps that they have escaped from, and it looks like someone tossed a grenade into the trap.
Hopefully, we'll get a call to help out when they actually trap one...
