This Global Warming is tearing me up..... I don’t know about global warming but you’ve got to agree that this cold weather actually feels like winter compared to those sweater weather December days we had. My grandpa said it used to be colder than this for a couple months straight back in the day. It’s been awhile for me even in my short 35years that I’ve heard trees splitting in the cold. I heard a few last weekend while I was setting Marten traps around a new lake.

It's -56 here at my place friday morning @ 0530. How’s your Marten catch when it’s gets cold like that? Marten seem to disappear when it gets cold here

I believe when the deep cold comes they hunker down in deep snow where food sources are. JMO

Kind of what I figured. I noticed if they have a big food source like a bait pile you’ll see holes around. I guess they just run out grab a bite and jump back under the snow. Then one day when it warms up is a good day on the trapline.

So I guess what I’m saying is I don’t expect a whole lot of Marten this weekend. I think my best option from here on is to set lake edges. Especially the lakes where you expect to see moose where there’s a lot of grass under the snow.

Same here. When it gets this cold they go under the snow Same on my trapline. Here at home its different though, as it's much drier. Right now we dont have enough snow to cover a martens tail let alone enough for them to hunt under. That may be the reason there are not many marten in the southern lakes area. I've always wondered about that as the best marten country in Yukon seems to be the areas where it gets more snow.

It's -56 here at my place friday morning @ 0530. What's the coldest you've seen since you settled there Ken? January 27, 1989 the official low downtown at the weather service office was -75. Out here there is a NOAA sub-station. That thermometer recorded -82
