Some years ago I cut into a marten belly or 2 because of thread on here. Ken had posted some marten gut pictures as I recall and that got things rolling. 1 marten, of the very few that I looked at, was stuffed with rose hips. This was probably a January marten.

On the other hand, if marten are living near humans that should mean that the habitat is acceptable to them. Maybe human influence on the habitat is a positive in actually extending their range of opportunities in some circumstances. If you build it, they will come.

There is one of those capped 8” gate posts concreted in near here maybe 4’ tall with a cut out for the swing arms lock bar and access for the lock.
Last spring there was a marten nest in it. Saw the female flush out and tiny babies in. Hope I didn’t corrupt them.
First “nest” of one I’ve actually seen being used.

Hope you left the marten nest a vegan offering lol


Holy smokes I didn’t think of that! I thought it best to leave the little gal alone.

True story. Look how many different species benefit from human agriculture...at least until the advent of clean farming eliminated fence rows etc.
