Checking the Inklin Trail

A nice large Weasel

Moose pond east of lake...sun never gets much higher than this now.
It's so easy now..... takes an hour to skidoo the 6 kms down to the Inklin.  Hard to remember it took 3 1/2 years to find a route, make it skidoo-able and than quad-able.  Lots of hard, hard work but we can now enjoy the fruits of our labour.
First nice Marten of the trip

4 squirrels ( brought back 15 today)

no squirrel at end of stretched wire????

fur from remains of squirrel

 A Grizzly Marking Tree

The knob....where Mountain Goats are sometimes seen.

Second nice Martin

Snow laden alder over the trail

Inklin River.... Bryan on Tundra 300

Back just before sunset to the lake

You too, are providing a wonderful service to many who used to be out there, educating and inspiring a lot of aspiring trappers and giving ideas to others already trapping. You are giving a peek into a side of life that many have never seen and a beautiful reminder to others of the kind of lives they have lived. Absolutely beautiful!

Is there a market for squirrel fur? How much are some of the other furs actually worth? Not trying to pry into your income.
