Make a few marten sets,you will get weasels if they are around.

They know how to hide. We have no shortage around here, yet I think I've only seen a live wild weasel once in my life.

A set on the ground will get you a skunk too if there is one around.
Weasels have a small home range,so you can make sets fairly close together(a few hundred yards apart) and target a bunch giving you a better chance to connect.I would use a 120 bodygrip as long as there is no chance of catching domestic animals.

Build a weasel box and use a rat trap. Very selectively targets weasels. Set in brushy areas. Check out the weasel trapping threads in the archives. Lots of good info there.

We have them mountains to coast Zach.

I think the info on MTP website shows how they get them using empty milk jugs.

There protected here. In 46 years of trapping I've never had one get in a trap. Seen five in my life and all were road kills near creeks with lots of rocks and rock walls.

Rocky wall/ ledge areas and big brush piles that have been on the ground a few years.
