To include a good amount of bobcat meat. I will soon be switching &/ adding Marten & Wolf to my trapping list. so I am wondering if using the baits I already have for them as well. Instead of going out getting a bunch of beaver to stock up on.. I've read a few pages of Marten in the archive & read about the beaver. What else would possibly attract the 2 listed above. Thanks again Ya can't miss fur if yur traps are out somewhere. Or so I've been told.

Local butchers here will also cut moose for hunters,and if you ask you can get boxes of butcher scraps every few days moosehides and bones and head is also great for wolf.If you know some moose hunters they will likely give you the scraps and hides.Ask the highway dept if they can hook you up with roadkilled large animals. The cleanings from grouse is good for marten before it gets real cold.When it gets about 25 below it doesnt have the attraction of the fatty meats like beaver. Rabbit when used in ground cubbys attracts rabbits to your set.I find rabbit a poor bait for marten-similar to grouse-too lean in the cold. Last edited by Boco; 10/18/21 01:15 AM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
