Default Hit one of my season goals!

Today was my last day on the line for this season! Picked up another beaver and hit my goal of finally snaring a wolf! Been trying to do that for 3 seasons now! Will post pics later!

Congrats Mark! Still waiting for my first one. Will leave the snares up for another 2 weeks then pull them after that.

What kind of snare do you have him in? The cable seems thin, looks like a 5/64"? Doesn't look like a winch tractor cable around his neck! Seems smaller than a 3/32".

Fantastic, its so addictive, wolves were not even on my radar this year until a registered trapper took me out a few times and now I am hooked as well. Awesome job on the wolf.
