Taking Down the Salmon Creek Run


Heading over to Salmon Creek to take down the traps there we came upon the two Trumpeter Swans and also two Merganser Ducks who have been feeding on the Coho eggs.


 6 Muskrats for 6 traps.... and no Beaver or Otter.  We are happy trappers.  Bryan had done the two Old Timer Otters for Taxidermy and that is a big job.  He said it was harder to do than Wolf or Wolverine.  The paws have webbing and no difference between the hide and meat.  We were really happy to just get the 6 rats.  We closed down this run because the snow is coming and it's a 1 km walk both ways.

 Hannah and the rest of us are all wet and tired.

That picture of Bryan carrying older Hannah into the boat is priceless. We don't know all that the two of them have been through together but that picture says a LOT!
