White do you prefer the trigger to be more toward the bait like in the above picture?

It depends on the can Kusko. I like the trigger protected from possible moisture but if it might conflict with the can I'll turn it the other way. Some cans are a bit smaller or larger in diameter

I prefer the larger cans. I might be there awhile, depending on dinner.


Made it almost 3 years without censor!

I use the flowerpots and I put my trigger to the inside. It puts the trigger up inside the flowerpot and protects it from the weather.

Brent I used to trap marten out of Livingston. Would love to have those hungry marten up here. I had great luck with leaning poles set there.
A lot less to carry.
I used to use all leg hold until I came to Alaska. Give this set a try.
4 finish nails at an angle. Squeeze the conibear around them to hold. I wire on a dead branch to dissuade them from jumping over.
I was experimenting with a second snare as a backup for a second marten on extended checks. But soon when to low plant pots for my non climbing marten so had limited time perfecting it.



Something I did notice where I had no spruce to get under was the snare weathered a lot better than the coni.
This was the way I found it. The wind had blown the snow off rather than have it stack up.

Well i thought i'd run this by ya guys. Keeps the trap covered, can be set horizontal or verticle. Bait tucked inside, set the coni on a holder and you are off. Took jus a few to cut the leadin edge out and i didn't have to rip boards and staple them. Then again it tasted good and was free in the end. Can't say that about plant pots and plywood :-) jus joking. Bait/trap/wire fits inside, can carry a few of them pretty easy. And they stick out like a sore thumb...

I've used them just like that. Drawback: They don't stack.


Made it almost 3 years without censor!

Made myself some brackets with tin from the transfer site and tin snips. I think Kusko posted a pic of one he made that's very similar. If I had a break and a band saw I'd break long lengths of the stuff into the right bends, and then cut them out from the bent shape, but had to do it one at a time with pliers and tin snips.
Cut the piece out about 1.5 or inches wide, 3 or 4 inches long.


Grasp the piece with the lineman's pliers, and bend it with your GLOVED hand (be ware of sharp edges.)


May need to be tweaked a little to get best fit that hold the jaws, but also allows them to clear when the trap is set off.



Use whatever nail you want to secure the cubby and bracket. Right now I'm using roofing nails, but I think I'll switch to duplex nails so that they'd be easier to pull back out. To attatch my milk jugs (or whatever I happen to be using!) I use my knife to gouge a big enough hole for the head of the nail to go through and then a slit upwards of that to slide the shaft of the nail up with the head holding the jug against the tree. I think Dirt had a pic posted of this as well. If you wanted you could make them bigger for bigger conis, unsure if they'd be be stiff enough...I just don't know. Ya'll be safe out there, hope this helps somebody!

Hello Ak, i like your clips you made up. I noticed on White 17 picture up top he used a stick so i ripped a one by six into one inch strips and then cut them into 6" pieces and drilled a nail in the center. Will stay better if you use two holes in the wood strip. The coni then clamps onto it. Verticle or horizontal it works. I have yet to use this set up. I made a few so far but want to make atleast two dozen of them. Then see how they work. Luck to ya on the marten line.
