I find It hard to get my head wrapped around Marten or fisher eating beech nuts.

I can see how the prey species eating on the mast crop can and will effect baited marten and fisher sets. But the actual eating of the mast by the marten or fisher seems questionable. But I guess you never know.

Aren't we trapping marten and fisher In the winter where the snow would have covered up all the mast and the target animals would be more inclined to work meat baits.
