Thanks men,pretty easy to make a marten look good.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Those marten almost look as good as Shannon Bream on a Friday night...well done Boco
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Absolutely beautiful Boco, and I thought mine was great.
24 years Army Medical Corps
I only want to be known as:
A great husband, a good trapper, and a great steward of the land.

Never dealt with marten, are you not supposed to pin the ears (like a fox or coyote)? They look nice regardless.
When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

MT-I hold licences on 3 registered traplines.I could sign up for more if I wanted to giv'er.Quotas are trapline specific and can be adjusted by trapper and fur tech.With some data (skulls indicating juvenile ratios)of course.There is no limit on the amount of traplines you can trap on so the only limits are your ability to cover thousands of miles of ground in winter in the boreal forest. Incentive to trap hard is not there right now with the uncertainty in the fur market.I did not trap marten last year at all on any lines.This year I am trapping a few short lines here and there to keep a handle on health of the lines.Marten keep well dried in the freezer.I will ship a few of the better ones to guage the market and I will tan a few for private sales.Tanned marten dont sell like tanned beaver or otter,but with the lower prices tanned marten will sell to certain people. It is still prohibitive to sell marten hats.Because of the number of skins required and the tanning costs you are looking at $450 minimum for a full fur marten hat.

You've heard the rumors about his fur loincloth? Some say it's a thong.
