Congrats on the marten.
Try to help out on your questions.
Bait- think they see a large chunk and get greedy. I have caught them on smaller pieces of beaver but have way more success with big chunks.
Bears. Luckily I haven't had to many problems with them but know a few guys that get hit pretty hard. I would assume location helps me out and don't think many smells deter bears.
Trap prep- I cleaned the oil off and just spray painted them all and it's kept them pretty good for several seasons. I don't wax or anything beyond the paint.
Your trigger set up sounds about like mine.
Trap anchoring- I attached a longer cable to all my traps that I can loop around the tree and attached a quick link to them.
Slots. I do about what you have for spring slots but set the trap out near the front so it doesn't hit the back of the box. That could (launch the trap back) causing not ideal catches.
Converting 110s to 120s. I went that route when I started marten trapping and have nothing but problems with some of them and it was a pain to add the springs. I am waiting for Duke to come out with his new 120 pros and replace all of mine. I have some hand problems and done dealing with the converts.

Here is a batch from a couple years back. As for put ups i have not seen a good video of it. There are some folks on here that do an amazing job. I really like putting them up and have had a buddies show me when I started.
Hopefully this helps some.

BigBlackBirds thank you for the info! I have also read that loads were tested at over 3900fps with 50 grainers. Thats one reason I’m trying to get to the 4k mark. If we can’t achieve it I may: use the 50grs at the fastest but most accurate or drop down a few grains of bullet weight to get hopefully 4k and good groupings.

Hopefully you can get out and find some fur. Good luck.

I'm always a proponent of buying more guns. I wouldn't look for the barrel to swap, I'd go gun shopping for a lefty 7mm-08. There are a few out there.

Haven't had a weasel show up yet, so we're making do with what we have. They only have traps on one place right now. I'm hoping that I won't be so busy with work soon, and we'll get to actually chase weasles. Fortunately, the kids are really happy to catch anything.

Lot of rifles chambered in it and lots of ammo available.

If you already have a rifle that does most of these you don’t need a 6.5 CM. But if you don’t IMO it is a balance of near perfection.

People hated the 30-06 too. They hated Dale Earnhardt. They hated Tom Brady. Things are are good and solid generate animosity.







Everything he said

I am actually speechless at that shot.


Those that talk trash on Barnes bullets haven’t used them.
