My wife and I went out today. Tough going, more snow than I thought. I got seven boxes out for Marten. See what happens.

It was a struggle but we got a line out. I think I spent more time cutting trees out of the way then trapping. Might be the worst I can remember laying down from the heavy wet icy snow we got the other day.

The roads you all talk about having to cut apart downed trees after heavy snow fall, are they gravel "township" roads or just various two-wheel tracked trails ("unimproved" roads) through the forests and maybe some of the drier bogs, although is there any bogs dry up there this year?

I thought you MN guys could catch 5 critter combo of marten and fisher or does it vary by management unit?

10 to 12 years ago it was 5,it should be more than 2,but we are not able to make the laws.3 to 4 would be fine,it's just like our bear season up here,now the last 10 years it takes 4 to 5 years to draw a tag.We are covered up in bears,this year we had 3 baits out,26 bears on three baits.sorry to say the DNR doesn't manage animals JUST PEOPLE it's sad... I don't know where to draw the lines but I think a good part of more rural Minnesota should consider seceding from the metro Twin Cities counties and other other core locations of the nutty woke leftists of the state and return to common sense land. It might work out better than the last time secession was tried. Or maybe just wait out Tampon Tim and his ilk as they self implode in a next few years-- we can only hope

What did y Mary and I went out this morning. With the short limit I like to check traps on the way in. Checked 7 boxes all empty on the way out had one in the first trap we checked on the way in. You never know what's next. That's the magic. What was it?
