Good year on your cats it seems Boco.

Lots of everything in the bush this year Mud,except foxes.All the critters are loaded with fat.
I guess our dry summer was good for the food chain.
Probably the high numbers of lynx was hard on the fox last winter.

Great pics Boco.

I hope all that trapping doesn't take too much time away from the important things like posting on Trapperman!

....Still too soggy to get much done in western Oregon so all I can do is look at your posts.

No worries BP I have very few traps set out.

Great job as always Boco !! I’ll ditto BP way to soggy out and the rivers are flooded to even beaver trap . Can’t wait to get trapping

Last couple checks on the line.
Located an old bushtrail into a small lake on the line and drove the snowmachine in to check it out.Only a few Km in.
Rough trail,nobody been in there for a long time.
Supposed to be brook trout in the lake,for sure I know there are brook trout in the creek that comes out of it.
Looks like good marten country in there.I was looking for old marten boxes from the last trapper that had this line but didnt notice any.

Last check I had a marten come along and clean all the bait out of the box.(there was a weasel in the trap,second last pic in the previous post) He stashed the bait chunks down a hole about 20 feet from the trap.His trail back and forth to get the 3 chunks of bait was beaten down pretty good.
Well I re baited and re set yesterday since I figured he would soon visit the jackpot he had found.
I went today to look at this one trap and as predicted there he was.

Don't you love when a plan comes together.

Cool

Checked a few sets today,picked up 3 marten and another wolf.(blind trail set-no bait)

Wolverine set with the big cubby?

No,fisher set.
Wolverines are protected here,they are just coming back.
Spreading from the north and west of the province.
I see wolverine tracks every couple years.When I do I close my wolf snares or any fisher sets I have out, until he moves on,so I dont catch one.
If a trapper catches one accidentally he can keep it for his own use but not allowed to sell.

I see, didn't think about fisher.

Went for a skidoo ride down the camp trail today.



Not much left of a weasel,got snacked on by a marten-guaranteed marten catch next run,lol.

Getting caught up on the weasels.

Boy, that's a pretty shot of those ermine. You're living the life!

That is one animal I would like to have in numbers around my grounds. Nice put up Bob and good batch of weasels.

Enjoy the pictures, Boco. Just curious, why are your marten boxes facing up? Most of the others pictures I see from other trappers have the boxes facing down.
