we are in wmu 510
the area we are in this year for martin/fisher has never been trapped for at least 10+ years so we figured our numbers should be decent
alpac is heavily cutting and hauling in our normal northern martin area so we pushed 20-25 km south of where they are working into a area that we can only get into after freeze up (we havent invested in a argo yet)
we also wanted to let that norhtern area sit for a number of years because we do not want to over harvest
The only difference we see in the environment between the north and south is very little birch in the south, but still mature pine/popular mixed forest with very healthy squirrel population
