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!

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.

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.
