I put a few pieces of spruce over the bait which hides it. I do catch one every once in a blue moon but I wouldn't say it's a problem.

Looks like you guys are having a blast!!!

Looks like the marten population is doing good up your way.

Finally got some snow! Kids got the poles cleaned up and picked up a few marten.

Otherwise not much else moving around out there................................................

Still nothing else moving out there except marten, no complaints though. Just checked the line a few days ago and figured we would run it again after we got all the poles cleaned off. Kids should have a nice fur check this year

Glad to see you getting the family out on the line Jormah. Heading down to see my own family for the holidays. Looks like you are putting up some fur too. Good luck on the wolverine. Happy Holidays and be safe.

Your kids are doing great on marten! Always nice to have something in your sets. Gives you motivation to keep at it.

You guys are stacking them up! Love seeing those youngsters out there!

A beautiful day, a full moon and the sun were both out set a couple squirrel snares and got one today.


Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Very cool!

Jumped a flock of 20 sharp tails and about 10 or so ptarmigan. I bought a RIA single barrel 12 gauge the other year, it's really short, light, and it folds in half so it fits in the trapping box. Good little trapline gun........

Thanks for posting .You have some fine hired men on the line with you ! They seem to be earning their keep .

Good deal! You guys are stacking the marten up! I did squirrel snaring one year when things were real slow, Ended up getting around 40 of those little jokers Paid for a jug of gas at auction

Got a guy that's paying $10-12 for stretched and dried squirrel, ermine, and muskrat. Kids aren't going to pass that up!

and little lady

There's something in the archives on snaring squirrels. Pretty easy.

Good day for flying snowballs.....

Nice! Some good eats right there! Still stacking them up! Good deal!

Things are slowing down some except bird hunting. January has always been a slow month. Won't be long till we start gearing up for beaver and muskrat. Been hanging around -35 go-45 the past two weeks, finally got a warm spell at -25.

Good deal! Wish we had that cold here! +35 today You guys get gear out for the wolverine?
