I agree with waggler. If they will climb for you, might as well short chain them to hang free. I my area it seem like everything wants to eat away on a dead marten laying on the ground. They are my favorite animal to trap.
You guys catch WAY more Marten than I ever have. One thing I have noted over the years is that most of the "climbers" I have caught have been adult Males. If I set on the ground I seem to catch more animals but it is heavy to females and YOTY.
Same here Mac, I have a few of them hanging in the shop. I didn't know Michela was having this done. But when she delivered it to my office I immediately recognized the photo's as one's I took. The eagle was swooping down over the coyote in a trap on a open ridge top.
Someone needs to explain to me how everyone and there mom in the South kills deer with .243's but then deer magically become bullet proof and un killable with something shooting a bigger bullet going about as fast ?
I surely dont know either, but there is something amiss about the 6.5 CM.
I Supect they are using long range target bullets that don't expand any if at all. Any soft point or typic a l hunting bullet acts like they do out of any caliber latger or smaller at similar speeds.
That said the 120gr A Max was a great target bullets that created a ton of damage on coyotes. My cousins have dropped several with them out of his 260.. its been discontinued I still have at least 500 to load yet though.
Different bullets make all the difference.
My boys 350 legends don't like the same bullets. My youngest shot 8 with Winchester 150 with plastic tyo 7 of the 7 dropped or stumbling ran 20 yards and had more damage than I have ever seen. One blood trail 30 yards was 3 foot wide and visible 30 yards or more away. My oldest boys gun would not shoot that load without 8" vertical stringing but shot hornady sp 170 gr well. They kill deer but don't leave much of a blood trail. Vastly different results sample size of each over 5 but under 10.
One of the Winchester killed deer the bullet didn't preform acted like a fmj zero blood trail deer made it about 110 yards I only found it by seeing its white belly. Had it been thick may not have recovered that one.

My buddies dog came running over to me rather quickly when I went to his place it’s a good size pointing dog that had about 10 more pounds on her. She did not like that dog rushing over towards me, in no time that dog was half cowering away from her warning to back off it shocked me never seen that side of her she’s kind of a wimp most days.
It's black and flaky. Not big enough flakes to stop a trap from operating. I started using it this year. Seems to work good.
Would you compare it to waxed dirt as far as weather/freeze proof? I'll probably buy a bag from kendall so I know I got the right stuff first. Does it pack? What about rain and then freeze what are your experiences with it? Thanks for any input. It's an old coal mining town and strip mines everywhere, just recently they started up again so I'm sure I can find the stuff
