I was hoping for Tracking Snow ...but alas- brown here this morning

No rain or snow up here,the last two days we've lost 70% of our snow,heading out shortly I will pull some more sets today.I'll keep 4 cat locations out within 5 miles from home,wasn't planning on catching 5 cats,but it might happen,I want the BIG TRACK cat and the other locations the cats are due back within a few days.If I can get around quick enough today I might take in a hockey game this early afternoon,good luck out there.

Good that you are checking your marten traps every day.Marten taint very quickly in warmer temps.


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

Well dad checked blank traps again today, pulled a couple sets that were further down the line, has five sets out so maybe his marten will be waiting for him in the morning. He said there was 1-1/2” of snow up the hill this morning and not much at all for tracks other than wolf

We had a little snow this morning (most of it melted today) and I saw 2 deer tracks and squirrels. That was it. The fisher and Marten will move Monday when it is safe. smile


I have nothing clever to put here.

Took my sons marten trapping this year. We had no idea of the territory before we came up 4 hours north. We picked spots that looked what we thought was good. Destination trapping weekend as a family. We were rewarded with our first marten ever. So happy for my boys.

Fantastic! Nothing beats the smile from a first time catch. I love to see parents and kids out trapping together.

Well, we filled our 8 marten tags yesterday and pulled all the marten/fisher sets.
Today we caught another beaver, a couple rats, and four grouse.
Pulled everything today and the guys will be headed home in the morning.
Another fantastic year.
Jim
