No rain or snow up here,the last two days we've lost 70% of our snow,heading out shortly I will pull some more sets today.I'll keep 4 cat locations out within 5 miles from home,wasn't planning on catching 5 cats,but it might happen,I want the BIG TRACK cat and the other locations the cats are due back within a few days.If I can get around quick enough today I might take in a hockey game this early afternoon,good luck out there. One thing I'm sure of is You'll run if you have to to get it all done. Catch "Big-footed- bait dragging Sneaky cat" Today!

Scott,had to go back home on Wed so we didn't get him his 1st marten,it's been warmer than normal and their bellies must be full,we had a few martens around some of our sets,but no takers till today.I really like those dark martens. Good that you are checking your marten traps every day.Marten taint very quickly in warmer temps.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Well dad checked blank traps again today, pulled a couple sets that were further down the line, has five sets out so maybe his marten will be waiting for him in the morning. He said there was 1-1/2” of snow up the hill this morning and not much at all for tracks other than wolf We had a little snow this morning (most of it melted today) and I saw 2 deer tracks and squirrels. That was it. The fisher and Marten will move Monday when it is safe. 
I have nothing clever to put here.

Took my sons marten trapping this year. We had no idea of the territory before we came up 4 hours north. We picked spots that looked what we thought was good. Destination trapping weekend as a family. We were rewarded with our first marten ever. So happy for my boys. That is Awesome! Welcome to Tman

I love to see parents and kids out trapping together.
