Finally got my first one. Tried all last year with no success, did a lot of refining based on tons of research including this site and got my first catch after 2 days.

Nice. I want one of those. Can’t seem to find any down here in the sagebrush though.

You'll be hooked now.Nice catch.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Very good! What kind of a set did you catch it in? Box with a conni or...?

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

Boco, I was hooked the first time I was hiking through 2 feet of snow in -5 degree weather as the sun rose and the wolves were singing. I didn't need to catch a marten for that.

IDTrapman, yes a box and coni set.

Congrats on the marten, I am hoping for my first marten or fisher, I set some traps out on my friend's farm in the M/F zone and am praying!

Looks like you broke the ice catching that 1st one and you got her figured out now! Good for you.

How'd the put-up go with that 1st one? Any pics?

Great job!

Now you may want to try to hang them away from tree though. Avoid getting sap/resin/pitch in fur

But awesome job
