There’s no place like trap camp! I’d love to see what you guys use for a cabin during trapping season. I’ve had mine since 2014, Township 36 MD, Maine. Was built in the 1930s by the CCC as a supervisors cabin. The main CCC cabins are about a half mile down the road. It’s been a long road and there’s always work to be done but I’ve tried to improve it each year.

I tried it once, it’s hard on the back! Bunks in the back corner.

There’s better trapping ground but it’s close to home.

How far out out of Grand Lake Stream are you? I don't know Washington County well.

I’m 13 miles south of Grand Lake Steam. I can get there in 20 minutes or so depending on the shape of the road.

I used to bird hunt down that way. Did a bit of deer hunting around Big Lake.

It’s a nice area for that. We have a few deer every square mile, haha. If you can find one it’s often a good one.

Yep, the outside does need paint and some TLC, but the marten like living in the attic just the way it is.

For sure, that was the first trip in. The day I bought it. I tore the screen room and a couple odd additions off. Added a metal roof a year or so later. Brought it back to the basics.

My wife's cabin. Yes, she's quite the trapper (Mostly marten and lynx).
