"WHEN DO WE START
In our experience…. mature healthy animals only (Pups…unhealthy animals and females with late litters take 2-3 weeks longer) Lynx cats are about a month later
7000 ft Canadian Border Oct 15th
6000 ft Williston ND Oct 20th.
5000 ft I 94 to Glendive Oct 25th
What would Petska know?
I've studied this a minute or two..
So according to Petska for every 1000 feet you drop in elevation you add 5 days for primeness...
so following his logic..for every 1000 feet you go up in elevation you'd prime 5 days earlier......
So...
8000 ft would be Oct 10th
9000 ft would be Oct 5th
And
10000 ft would be Oct 1st.
So jerrys fur is prime Oct 1st......when he starts to trap..at 10500 ft....following petskas theory.
And EJ we don't have marten but if we did yall could trap them so he has no restrictions about trapping marten In Wyoming.
Jerry had a meeting 3 years ago with the head of the Wyoming fish and game ..when his license came back with reatrictions for marten and weasel....and after they contacted John Lund..and they were able to definitively say..for once and for all that in Wyoming that a non resident can trap for marten ..even if their home state does not have marten.
So.if some of you guys on here that wanna trap marten but don't have them in your home state..yall can trap them.in wyoming.
A few people were denied the year Jerry had the meeting with the Wyoming fish and game.
But Jerry took care of tha issue when his license was restricted.
If any of yall were denied for that reason...you won't be denied again..for that reason..if you'd like to go to Wyoming and trap marten now.
We don't have badger either but he can trap them as well if he wants.
Jerry has a Buddy from louisiana who's trapped marten in wyoming and he dang sure ain't got em in his state.
