Musquash

After getting  four from each Push Up we shut the Musquash trapping down.  A great total of 45 in a week.  These are big extra fat beautiful Muskrats.  This morning we got a Big Shadow Black Male Wolf.  
Been busy doing inventory of supplies, getting fire wood and getting ready to go out. Counting seed potatoes to fly out and figuring out what can be let freeze and still be good.  We decided to put the Cetol paint in plastic bags plus the 3 remaining Mayo jars down the well on rope.  
 Hopefully we will have Company for the five days before we fly out.  Our friend Gary is suppose to fly in here for a visit.  

Muskrating

Mountain Goat?

Bryan finds the Push ups and then shovels off the snow, cuts the weed dome off with his chainsaw, puts a small trap in the hole and covers the hole with a cardboard box that he has cut a big hole in the top of.  This hole is covered with a piece of wood and then snow.  We've caught 13 in 2 days.  We plan to take 4 from each site.  We mark the flagging tape for each one. Thanks Muddy Water for the hint.

Creek Just about took Out Ice Bridge

 The trip up to take the Marten and Wolverine traps down at the end of February went well.  Lots of Wolf tracks but didn't catch any.  You can see all the Moose hair in the scat.

Center Mountain from the East.

The River had opened up and Bryan had to make a bi-pass up on the bank.  It entailed shoveling a ramp up onto the high bank and then working thru the brush for 150 feet. 

Bryan closed down the far cabin.

While he'd been up at the far Cabin for the two nights the side creek had backed up to the Ice Bridge.  It had filled the whole side creek and froze on top.... then blow out.
