Trapline 2023 Season

[reb]

Have to agree Dogleg the Marten boxes are not alot of work compared to Coyotes or Wolves even Lynx are time consuming.
For Marten I use Beaver meat with Barnes Marten magic or Skunk essence.

 

[Dogleg]

I've tried any number of lures for marten and fisher; but always come back to Gusto.

 

[reb]

Dogleg I just ordered some Gusto from the Canadian Coyote company going to give it a try.
Thanks

 

[Dogleg]

Don't get it on yourself. Fair warning

Speaking of lures, what would be a good one for raccoons and skunks? I’m in the country and have a large front yard and these critters are constantly digging up the lawn looking for grubs.

I have a round skunk trap I got from PA and only got one so far. Also have a box with a 220 in it but is setup for top entry. I’m thinking I should invert it like the Martin sets in the pics here.

Not sure on Raccoon but for the Skunk I would try wild meat
I caught 3 from under my cabin that were feeding on Deer heads.

Trail cam pic's

Downloaded a few trail cam pic's from a 330 box set.

 

[Runningfool]

Cool pics. Appreciate all of them - I find trapping fascinating.

Ever set a cam on video Reb? I was always curious on my lynx snares, so set a cam on one once. I was very surprised at how fast it ended, maybe 20-25 seconds.

Enjoying following this thread, Keep’m coming!!

 

[reb]

No I might try it on video have had constant activity at this set.

Looking good

The real trappers always stand out when the prices are low.

 

[reb]

The cautious one.

Nice thread. My great grandpa and grandpa used to have a trap line in the cariboo. I thought about getting in to it, but I'm busy with the kids for now.

Thanks for sharing. Brings back memories of the '70's. The good ol' days for me.

What's a prime lynx and wolverine pelt going for these days?

 

[reb]

I have heard Lynx are in the 100 to 150 range.
Wolverine would be considerably more.

I messed up just before covid. Found a beautiful Bobcat coat in a woman's small cut at an antique place and the wife talked me out of buying it for my daughter as she was still only 2 at the time. Price was $300.
