That last marten is a beauty. It should bring a good $ on the Taxi market or even tanned with the feet on.

It is unique allright.
Has a pure white head,bright orange body,and the tail is bright orange underneath and white on top,with a dark band near the tip but the tip is also white.

Nice! What do you do with the 2 tone weasel? I like the white & caramel look, I tanned the one I got late last season. Makes me hungry for ice cream or something when I look at it.

They sell right along with the rest when tanned.Some people like the greybacks better than the ermine weasels.
I havent shipped a weasel to the auctions in probably 30 years.
So easy to tan and always sell out no matter how many I get.

Me and the wife went out to the Camp on the driftwood line for a couple days relaxing..
Checked a few sets I put in on the trail into the Camp.
Another cat tried to claim the beaver at the jackpot.

Picked up a nice fisher in a marten box at the trailhead.

Bob do you turn your boxes down facing when the snows come heavy?

No Bob,i got them every which way.The ones turned up I just give the bait a whack with the axe on the bottom to knock the snow off.
Animals enter the box even when it is full of powder snow to get at the bait.
The biggest disadvantage to the boxes that open up is that the bait diappears quicker from shrews and mice,but I normally have no shortage of bait,and I change it or chop it every week or two anyway.

I know the rodents play havoc on baits. Everything wants to eat any chance they can. Do you get much fur damage between checks on your marten and fisher. Are you running 2 or 3 day checks?

Not much damage from rodents as long as they are up or hanging.
Sometimes fisher or other marten will eat the odd marten.This almost always happens before the catch has frozen hard.After an animal is frozen hard they are much less attractive to scavengers.
After freeze up I will run 3 or 4 day checks but it depends on how many traps/lines I have out.I dont run near as many traps as I once did-too tough at my age now.
When you have a lot of lines out the check times will be longer of course.
5-7 day check is fine in winter when running 5 or 6 different traplines,that gives you a day or two off for skinning (with lethal sets of course).Much more than that then you run into other problems.

You don't get damage from Ravens or Birds of prey up your way?

Only seen that on beaver in open water nuisance, if they dont make it under water.
The ravens plucjk the hair out but have a tough time opening the skin unless the beaver is belly up.

Had a weird catch today-a friggen bobcat,lol.
Never heard of one ever being caught in the north.
Their northern limit in North eastern Ontario is along the North shore of Lake Huron and around the lake Nippissing area between North bay and Temagami,and west of Lake temagami.
Those areas are around 400Km south of my trapline.
A few more check pics

That cat looks like our Pa. cats. More like a rabbit color phase. They sure blend in when there is no snow. It would be nice to have some ermine in our area, I like trapping weasels.
