Keeps the catch of everything down though

Not really. I run my cat cubbies with the pan on top.

Fisher and marten on the bottom.

Born I know a lot of guys who do it but personally I don't like my trap recessed that much

Very interesting. I have never seen or heard of anyone setting a box with the pan on top.

People will say I'm crazy. I am.

Had one 2 years ago, visited cubby 4 days , 5th day he stepped through.

When this one comes back through he will either find a snare or a 3N before he ever gets to the box.

Slow out there with the weather.

I pulled my couple of boxes on sign yesterday….that I had set in conjunction with coyote snare bait stations…the roads and trails are blowing in and it’s turning into a snowmobile line. I pulled the coyote stuff too.

We pulled up our traps yesterday, ended up with 3 marten 2 males 1 female so we did better than O.K.

Just bend the triggah wires back like this. It lets the red squirrels...ermine..mice ..go in and out..for the most part.

Leaving the set ready for a fisher. It's also more inviting ...and the trigger wires

Are not in its face. .

No fisher for this year. Found one fresh track in the woods today no where close to where I had sets. More for next year.

No cat for me today but I have lots of time and am confident that they will return.

Just one fisher for me, the one I thought would return didn't. That is the first time I have had a fisher look at and not enter a box. I'm pretty sure it didn't enter the box , I do know the meat in there was frozen in the back of the box.

I also had one trap sprung and thrown out of the box, I believe a weasel jumped in and hit the pan and triggering the trap, launching it out of the box.

I know most guy like pans but I am not sold on them. I prefer one wire straight down crowded as far as it can get to one side and the other bent horizontal. I believe a lot of small, non targets enter and exit without firing the trap and it makes for the biggest opening possible. That said, they still refuse to stick their head in a box as seen yesterday.

Well we got lucky and squeaked out our six marten, unfortunately two of them were females. Caught two males in ground sets and the other four were caught in tree sets.

Website still won’t let me post pictures

I also should have mentioned that we had four confirmed refusals this year and that’s the most we have ever had in a season that we know of.

It is tough to keep the female and YOY out. BG's can't tell the difference.

What sort of message does the video downloader give you that you can't post pictures?

I choose the picture then click the add file from your computer button and nothing happens

K9man, my phone won't let me post your pictures unless I screenshot them first. I'll get the rest posted for you in the morning.
