My dad and I got these marten and ermine a few days ago. The ermine we catch them in box sets but the marten I catch on marten poles. [Linked Image]

Are you required to elevate Marten sets ? Or is it to avoid fur damage or deep snow ?

We are not required but we do it to keep the voles and shrews from chewing up the fur.

Usually once a week but if it is warmer we usually check it every few days. My family and I went out to mark some muskrat pushups and saw some wolverine tracks. They seemed pretty fresh so we're going to trap him in January. [Linked Image]

We are required to check every 3rd calendar day. So if I check Sunday I need to check again Wednesday. With shorter times between checks I don’t elevate my sets. I have only experienced vole damage once. Here in MN we don’t have Wolverines but do have Fisher.

Caught an otter but that's all I have got. Have 4 coyote traps out and had one dug up.

Nice! I don't trap Otter, but I've never seen more than 1 caught in a trap. Do they travel side by side like that often?

Truth be told Otter are nearly always traveling as a group. 2,3,4 traveling together. We are allowed 4 per year here in MN.

We dont keep possums because the fur buyer usually doesn't buy them but if he does they go for 50 cents
