I would like to try catching martens with snares, but first I need information. Which wire? What do you do for lock? Do you set the snare on a pole? ... Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I would only add one thing from the marten trappers in the northwestern US, is if you have a problem with trap weight, then maybe preposition your traps before season. In the snowy regions you would find these slant poles clear up in trees, because the snow gets deep there. It just kept things secure. I hope something in this helps. http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/showthread.php/6762-Snared-marten-pics

What is the time to irreversible unconsciousness for a snared marten is what I wonder? Schadenfreude. Who is John Galt?

I don't think there is anyway getting around fur damage when using snares on marten. "My life is better than your vacation"

Not recommended. Last edited by Boco; 09/07/18 05:18 PM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
