Amen brother!!!! And will-do... 3 nights in the blind & nothing yet... lots moving, then it pissed rain last night... Gonna try for one more night tonight & see how that goes.

And just when you think you got em figured out... they pull a fast one on ya lol

I pay it all back in sweat when we gather firewood, or hauling bait, doing little odd jobs. The stuff we get into off camera is hilarious. Just always something to learn from Franklin, he’s a man of so many skills & knowledge.

Hahahah Franklin will educate you, THEN call you a dumbass, thats the difference 😆!!!

Currently in the blind as I type this… 3rd night in a row… got a good feeling but we will see!

Good luck. Be safe.

If it was a normal year I’d be able to snare no problem, but with the thaw we’ve had recently it’s difficult to find their main trails. I should do some video of varying hare snaring next year!

Hahahahah he’s such a beauty - recovering alcoholic too… I’m glad he found sobriety in trapping & bush stuff… I’d say a lot more of us need more time in the bush!

Sometimes twice… most times once lol… it all depends on the circumstances & situation at hand 😂

Always… and he always allows me to fall right into it so he can tell a story or lesson around what I just did LOL but hey, it’s how we learn! I’d rather that any day… then someone micromanaging & telling me not to do something as I do it… sometimes you gotta learn the hard way too lol

The lessons learned the hard way are the ones you never forget.@@PatterningNature

@@davidingram353 amen to that

Interesting - Which study are you reading from? Across Minnesota, Colorado & Idaho you can locate packs of Wolves taking down an Elk, Deer or Moose then leaving it, never to return to actually feed on it... Opportunistic kill maybe, but you'd think they would at least eat the thing down to its bones before taking off again? Nope. You won't find that in any Wolf study though - Unfortunately Wolf studies, like all studies, can be bought & paid for by people or organizations to skew the study in order to showcase Wolves are this, or that, or the other... The only way to know is, like you said, experience running into them & watching them! Now in regards to attacks... All 3 attacks up here in Northern Ontario that I have personally spoken to the people about have all been due to a human walking their dog & the dog is a small dog (lap dog... a snack for a Wolf lol)... so, Wolves can be dangerous but yeah, it is definitely not like running into a big Momma Black Bear with two baby cubs... WATCH OUT! LOL

@@PatterningNature every time i've seen studies on any animals they are pretty general done by people in helicopters or on snow machines and end up looking like a script for a movie, one guy i knew assessed forest fire damage and did moose counts from a bombardier snow coach, every year, funny they always came home with enough moose meat for the winter, when i asked about how the moose died he would say wolf kills, then look at his buddy and laugh ( his buddy's nick name was wolf ) most of the wolves i've run into are alone or in small groups of two or three, I like seeing the wildlife so i always encourage them to come around by feeding their game, sometimes i put meat out for the meat eaters, but never rotten meat if they eat to much of that they get sick, and i always keep extra chickens for the wildlife to take, but my chickens are getting smarter havn't lost any for awhile a hawk and a coyote are here a few times a week trying but leave with a mouse or a squirrel, any way i could go on forever i'm still cheering for the wolf LOL they are so cute and cuddley, when you move out to your new property put out 50lbs of black oil sunflower seeds a month, feed the small game the wolves lynx fox will come to hunt in your yard, put a rifle stock on your camera and fire away then you don't have to feel bad for killing such a beautiful animal

"Wolf kills" oh my gosh LOL And already on it with the seeds... got an 18KG bag yesterday, the Blue Jays, Chickadees & other birds are loving it, especially now that winter has returned yet again... Rifle stock camera.... Our tagline can read, "Get the hunt without the kill"!@@erniescabin4256

@@PatterningNature i think in the red lake area you can build four guest cabins , a way around calling yourself a lodge a B@B type thing i think there are a lot more tree huggers out there that would love to come camera hunting catch a few fish spend a week, the same wolf can be shot hundreds of times year round no tag sit around a campfire with a tame fox learning how to build a tee-pee camera blind and birch stick picture frames lol your new camp opens up all kinds of ideas or stay in wall tents since the weather will be warm, are you takeing bookings yet?

The wall tent idea is awesome - And a pet Fox is mandatory at my lodge... LOL Bookings will be coming soon... I will give you a free trip when it does!! @@erniescabin4256

LOL bush slang Ernie! Amen to that - lesson learned… next time I’ll tie it around my waste like a 1980s sitcom TV show 😎

Appreciate the love - Been givin'r as of late... Trying to get a big dog before Wolf closes on March 31st!
