Just caught a big otter in a Belisle 220 in a squeezed down cross over. I the bugger was done right away. Was able to reset no problem.

AIHTS is federal,applies in all provinces and several different countries.
The largest legal marten trap under the AIHTS is certain 160s

Not that I would set a 220 for marten but each province has different rules is all I am saying.

Provincial jurisdictions do have their own laws but cannot legalize traps outside AIHTS certification.

Always check the trap certification list before you set a trap for each species.
Also check your provincial regs for other rules that apply to non aihts species (mink and fox) and methods (snaring or deadfalls).

Couldnt see him hanging until I got real close.
He is basically the same colour as all the old mans beard in the bush..
A true boreal fisher.

Picked up another cat today in a trail snare,and a surprize catch,a long tailed weasel.
Those things have been moving from up south for a few years now.
Can tell its a southern animal it is still brown,the northern shorttails have been pure white for a couple weeks now.

We get a lot more short tails than long tails, but there are quite a few long tails around here. The long tails always seem to turn later than the short tails, but some of the long tails (probably one in ten) either won't turn at all, or not completely, all winter long.

That is interesting about the longtails turning late or not at all.
I notice the gland smell is a lot different than the northern shortail.The longtail smells more like mink.
I caught the first longtail ever here about 6 years ago,and so far have got less than 10.last year I got two.
Out of all those only two were pure white
I catch between 50 and 100 northern shortails in a season depending on how many marten boxes I have out.

Also interesting that the shortail and longtail live together.I would not want to see the longtails displace the shortails.I assume they have a somewhat different prey base with some overlap.

What are you using for bait/lure in your marten boxes?

Large chunk of beaver meat in the box at least half fill the box.
No lure-waste of time/money for marten.
