Good luck to everyone that didn't get snowed out. Going to try and get back in the woods to make some sets this weekend.

I have done dumber things but not by much. They are saying -20 tonight and -40 windchill tomorrow. The truck is loaded and ready to roll at daylight.................


I have nothing clever to put here.

I have some boxes in the Truck. My bride who is usually enthusiastic for Fisher / Marten but seems less than thrilled with the cold and deep snow. I fear a lot of downed trees on trails as our first snow was wet and heavy. Since then we got plenty of accumulation.

A nice Stanfields heavy weight wool union suit is about all you need….


Too poor can bring that little 450 Jonsered size firewood saw he uses for road clearing…

Here we might need a good snow plow or blower for trail clearing.

Good luck guys. I'm hoping that the boys and I can go get a couple sets in. Found one set of fisher tracks last week, and we're finding a few cat tracks here and there.

I have actually seen a fair amount of cat sign but cats will be cats and continue to frustrate us.

Yes 160, I'm planning on getting frustrated. If we set any footholds, they're going to have to be on my route to work or I won't be able to check them every day. We plan on setting some 220s, so I'm sure I'll get to see footprints leading up to the cubby, and a cat butt print where he sat and looked at it for ten minutes before he walks away.

Here in NH ...it's been reduced to just 2 for like the past 5 years .

Fisher trapping was one of my favorites...when the limit was 15.

So....now I don't even bother
