I wouldn't have to travel too far north to regularly find both marten and fisher, maybe 50 to 100 kms. Unfortunately, the zones there don't allow for Resident Trappers to trap marten and the season is closed to us. Plenty of wolves up that way and one year I may target them on a Rancher's land who would like to see them thinned out.

Targeting wolves is fun Dave.
If you are trapping 508 you can put out marten sets on a Resident trappers licence. Not saying you will get any but you can set them out. We have one spot on the line that is not great marten habitat and surrounded by farm land. Never seen a track there just the spot where a live spruce blew down on a 45 degree angle. Yet every couple of years we get one or two young ones and it seems that if you get one another one will be there within 2 weeks.
They must follow each other.
Good luck on the wolves
