Oddly enough it was a nice male in a coyote snare with a fisher box about 20' away. Not what I had planned but will take him. Its hard to understand how but have done that a few times over the years. Yep, take them when you can. This will be a tough year I think.

More snow coming tonight, assuming the fur will be in the traps the next check! It was cold today but think it’s going to get worse

I even made another pot of coffee trying to work up enough enthusiasm to go out in this weather. Nothing in any of my traps except a new layer of snow and no new tracks. Maybe tomorrow.....

Yep all is pulled. No snares or traps out. Maybe time to put some fur up and see what the weather brings in a week or two.

My problem is all my fur has been put up and I have most of my gear cleaned up and put away. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

No fur in the traps today which really surprises me as I must not know as much about marten as I thought I did. I know they don’t really have any fat on them but I still assumed they would move like normal in single digit temps but they haven’t. Only five traps out and will check/pull them early tomorrow hopefully before it gets ugly out
