On a side note, thats a cool reference manual you have there showing the different colors. X 2 That looks like that is from NAFA. I have the same one. I'm not sure the one posted would grade as a true canary by NAFA standards? Mine never did.

In western interior Alaska in far western Unit 20, canaries were about 10% of the catch. Very high proportion. Nice one, Boco.

Nice Boco!

Does it contain info on other, more southern fur bearers as well?
That is from the WFMC - the trappers bible-I thought all trappers had one. It covers everything.

Dang Boco. I thought before, you said that one made from a least weasel was more your size. I used to have one made from an otter, but found it to be too heavy, and caused too much chafing...

I hope this guy was able to spread a few of his genes around before I snuffed him. That is why I prefer foothold traps over coni types. I used to catch a lot of those canaries but they made the other 50% of my catch look bad. So I always release that color phase now.

Well then, with limited to only one colour, you'll nevah be able to have a hat built like mine, then ... every marten in this hat is a different colour. Especially the bright orange one, a "canary" I call OJ, which is in the rear, contrasting nicely in showcasing the three tails. Shown with flaps down in this pic. There's a place for all colours !  ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2023/11/full-20139-194493-33c6cff0_91dc_41e7_92b8_092be55343cd_1_105_c.jpeg)

Since I catch 60 to 70 percent pale to extra pale marten and they almost always bring the least money, I'm not enamored with pale marten. I find black marten beautiful.  Get blacks here too. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2023/11/full-21521-194535-dscf0028.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2023/11/full-21521-194537-dscf3148.jpg)
