Hello everyone I am wanting to do some Marten trapping in Utah. Does anyone know a general area to start looking, or even a fellow trapper to get some knowledge from here? Thanks for any help everyone I appreciate it.

Have you joined your state Association? Then it’s more appropriate to contact officers off their website asking for a mentor.

Plus Tom Krause has a good Marten Trapping book that you should be able to find in about half of the 8 to 10 catalogs that should be on your desk.

Gonna mail my membership in on Monday so I will look into that thank you, ill check the book out as well may have missed it in my catalog but foound a dvd in there Im gonna check out, thank you.

Keep us posted bud if you get into some, I've been threw Utah a few times.
Went to the n.t.a. western back in 2008 .
Good country

Actually saw one two days ago before the snow hit near Duck Creek while spending time at a friends cabin with the family. We’ve seen them a few times in that area. Tough to get to once the snow really starts to pack in.

Thank you for this.

Awesome to hear, that's not far from me either. Thank you I really appreciate it.

I trapped marten in the Uinta's years ago, must have been 13 or 14 years ago. The link above is to a podcast episode where I gave some advice to a guy looking to trap marten in Utah last year. I hope you find it useful.

Hey Im a big fan of your podcast and listened to that episode yesterday and it was super helpful! Thank you very much and I'm gonna pick up sone long distance call as well. The podcast is very helpful and informative so I appreciate it.

Sorry for the delayed response. I have been thinking on your original question. I do not know where in UT you are located but I have a close friend who has trapped Marten successfully for quite some time. He sets up boxes along major roads in the forest and rides a snow machine every four days to check. He traps the Uinta Mountains. Others I have talked with have also trapped there but with very limited success. They had to drive further to get to the mountains than he did and that takes an extra 2-3 hours each way. They are on my list to trap but I have not got the money for gas or the time right now to do it. I suspect there are Marten in other mountain ranges in UT but the Uinta range is the one I know best and have seen them there.
