Looking ahead for Next year [Linked Image]
I saw a fisher chasing a pine squirrel during the Rifle season
Thinking about getting some reds for Fisher bait next season.

Anyone try that?

Big mistake here using red squirrels for bait.Although they will be eaten by marten and fisher,your trap is more likely to catch more squirrels.
Same goes for flying squirrels for bait.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Not the best by far.Beaver or muskrat works much better.

Trapping is fun because of experimentation

I'll have them on camera. Pre trapping to see....maybe around a bear bait site.

And beaver for backup for sure

No harm in trying something on a set or two.
