Im a new trapper in Alaska my first year have already had some success with beaver but this next week Marten opens in my area i have already scouted a are that seems to just be filled with tracks i have about 15 traps to put out thinking of all pole sets but wanted to hear other peoples thought and how far should my traps be spaced apart?

Post your question on the wilderness forum.

Ok Thanks

Here in central BC my general recommendation is to space marten set’s ½ mile apart within suitable habitat. Suitable habitat being relatively dense overhead tree cover and shrubs along with “coarse woody debris” (downed logs, stumps, snags, litter) which provides protective cover for both marten and their primary prey.

Jerry experience in wyoming is a quarter to half mile.

He just got back yesterday from hisartwn trapping trip in wyoming where he caught 75 in about 3 weeks

Try a few sets closer to the ground if youre.checking every couple.days.. you might be surprised what you catch in the lower sets.
