[Big Grey Wolf]

Keg good summary of Peace River marten cycle. I would bet on the rabies scare in 50's being a major factor on low marten/fisher numbers. Although marten chase rabbits I believe the high lynx numbers that follow rabbit peak also affects their preditation on marten. We have much higher lynx numbers on our line now. Forest fragmentation by logging, especially very large cut blocks that do not allow for in migration must be a major factor in yearly harvest numbers.
