When you see them it's the same feeling as when a muskrat is in a beaver trap. Well, lets say 2-3 muskrats in a beaver trap!  A 120 mag busted up their little race! The flying squirrel was a little ahead. They were both heading out of the box.  |

I was thinking today about Marten trapping and having the box set up like you have pictured. I live in a state that is cage only, so you answered my Question, thanks. I have found their sign in the snow for the past 2 years and always seen the box in a up down position, which wont work for cages. Cool pictures by the way ;D

I saw a study that showed that cage trapped marten often die of hypothermia.
I didn't forget the safety. i was resetting the trap and I had a hassle with the second spring. The weasel had a frozen foot that was in the way so I went back to the truck to get the setters. And the camera!
