Very well done job Brian. Makes me proud to be a trapper and a member of the Alberta Trappers' Association. Kudos to the ACA, Compass Media, and Mark Boyce as well. I'm also proud to have both Brian and Mark as regular columnists for AO. Excellent job.

We all seem to agree wolverines are special.

Rob we have a cool province where a common everyday guy like me can end up writing for a magazine like yours and get to hang with guys like Doctor Mark Boyce and the rest of the ACA / ATA team.

I guess it's not unusual but i think we as Albertan's sometimes loose sight of what we have. Both the AO magazine and the ACA are unique entities in their own right. I know of no other Province or State who has a mag or organization like we have. Both are driven by passionate outdoor folk.

We're lucky as Albertans to have both.

Excellent video. So great to actually see a wolverine. I have never seen one in the wild except tracks. Really neat to see the prep & work going into setting up the bait, DNA sampler apparatus & how the cameras work. Thanks.
