There is nothing comparable to wolf trapping. It takes so much skill knowledge and a ton of luck. When you connect, it’s amazing, I look forward to seeing your sets. Good luck!
1 part vinegar 4 parts water, and some salt. Soak the snares in it for about 4 hrs and it becomes dull grey and will also take dye much easier. Thanks for this video. I will be setting a few snares this year to try for wolf. I trapped 4 bears this season and will be also using bear carcasses. You gave me the idea to maybe use one carcass in the open near the site for the birds and then another in cover close by. I'll be coming back to reference this video once ready to set mine. We got snow now so heading out soon to look for tracks. Thanks for sharing
Awesome. Thanks for the info. I’ll try that. I always boil in baking sofa even if I don’t dye them. We can’t trap bears here in BC, but we get 2 extra we can hunt with our trapping license. Thanks for watching, I look forward to seeing videos of your sets.
Be careful with vinegar, baking soda, salt etc.. Snares rust from the inside out. Unless you neutralize the acid, the rust continues. The result is a busted snare. I dip my wolf snares in diluted paint or I even spray paint them. The wolves don't seem to mind. I have also had poor results with bear meat. But they do attract birds - which is all you really want.
@@musherstails I’ve heard of painting but have never tried that for any traps. Definitely lots of different techniques for sure. Thanks for adding to the commentary.
pretty cool, I like this set ups good idea to carry Bear spray,you never knows when one of these buggers is going to come in on you especially with the bait
You would know, as would I. I was attacked twice by a black bear, and luckily Pacer was with me and got the momma off me twice! She was on top of me on the ground. You can google the story as it went all over Canada and the US. I was out running in a local park. More dangerous than out on the trapline when it comes to bear encounters 😂
A another idea for your snares is to boil them in baking soda, turns them gray color , and descents them. When I have over hanging branches like in your video i will use a 26 gauge wire ( also boiled ) to hang the snare , not much bigger than a hair and I dont get them blown down by the wind. Thank you and good luck !!
Thanks. I do boil all my snares in baking soda with some spruce as well. I’ve seen that trick of hanging thin wire above the snare. I’ve done it a few times, but should try it more often. Thanks for the suggestion.
I like to boil in baking soda also and have been experimenting with copper sulfate dipping afterward. Turns them a nice dark color, then boil in water with spruce bough to descent. Got one last year with that set up. Did seem to slow down the action of the camlock though.
Nope, deer and moose knock them over but I don’t ever see any deer tracks in the bait stations because there is so much wolf sign/scent the deer avoid the area for the most part.
Good to see you back Brother! Hope you catch a pile of fur this season. I'll be watching!
You bet, and same for you!
Great video! Now you got me pumped for opening the snares on my baits on December 1

I cant wait to see if you catch them my friend! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks. This will just be one of 4 bait stations. I’ll keep added snares as the season moves on.

@idaho2ndgens240 ya, I think I like the boil in baking soda and spruce as a main go to.
Interested
Do you ever catch deer in your snares ? That would be a problem in my area.

Snare traps are animal cruelty. The wolf has horrible pain for a long time before it dies.
It’s awesome you took the time to watch my videos. Thanks for the support
