Not a long line only 14 miles total.We will see how these boxes work.My skunk junk was delayed in Massachusetts so I had to set them without it.

Are your Marten and Fisher typically prime this time of year?


I have nothing clever to put here.

You should have a good pile of fur in a couple days with that many sets out.
I've got 12 boxes out.Pick up a couple every check.
Still waiting for cold and some snow to set more.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Good luck, I like the hole you make for your boxes, I hope you let us know how you make out.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I like a 5 day check in winter.
With the warming climate have to check every day or two all of november now,or wait until december to set if you want to set out multiple lines on extended checks,

It’s tough getting back into the swing after being sick! I’m still not right.
Makes you really appreciate feeling well.

Why do you set the trap so close to the bait? The hole is big enough for a fisher?

Maine requires such exclusion practices to avoid catching an endangered canadian lynx.
