Caught my first wolves with some great tips from a real wolf trapper. Mink continue to terrorize my marten line, but they are a nice bonus.

Both adult but he was a monster. I caught a third as well at a different set and it was a small one. Smaller than that female.

waggler trapper W Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 9,201 Alaska and Washington State	^^^^^^ Many years ago I trapped some marten on Admiralty Island, they didn't look like any other marten I have ever caught in SE Alaska. They looked like giant Martes caurina, like you find in the lower 48. If I recall correctly they had large orange throat patches. I think I heard once that the marten on the ABC islands were introduced, if so, I wonder where from? Last edited by waggler; 01/11/19 01:48 AM. "My life is better than your vacation"
