Bagged a few marten for the upcoming auctions.

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

Lol not scared of work one bit. When beaver prices go up I’ll think about learning how to catch them under ice lol.

How do those grade, color-wise? They are very "orange", compared to what I get. Just curious.

Just doing what I want now.

I wondered about that too. If any of you guys watched Fox News tonight, maybe you saw that lady come by and say a few words when they were out on the street talking about the weather?? She had on a sable coat that looked just like Bocos marten...colors looked exactly the same. They all said it was a beautiful coat too....no anti fur nonsense thankfully. Mine are usually darker in color.

Nice catch of marten Boco. Do you catch any dark marten or our they all pale and light browns. You might be in a area which has very little dark marten.

Usually get about 20% darks but it varies as the bush changes.

There are a few blacks buried in the pile somewhere.
My northern line produced a lot of pales back 25 years ago. Mostly browns and lt browns now.
