Marten hunting

[pine_marten]

Hello friends!
I am a beginner hunter and I like to walk through the forest with my dogs and look for pine martens. This winter, I decided to film my trips to the forest with dogs and make short films about it. Perhaps you also have films about the marten and I propose to share them in this thread

This time I wanted to shoot a marten jumping on the branches, but I got tangled in the bushes and could not keep up with the dogs. As a result, the marten deceived the dogs and jumped into the rubble from the trees. One dog did not see this moment, and the other tried to catch up with her, but could not and lost among the fallen trees. I did not distance myself at all, because the marten remained to live in the forest and we still had the opportunity to find it again another day.

The marten is nocturnal and often walks through the forest at dusk in the evening and morning. Therefore, marten can be hunted by sitting by the fire and waiting for the dogs to find the marten and drive it up a tree. After the marten is driven up the tree, the dogs will bark at it and call the hunter for help in catching the pine marten. In this video, I tried to show how such a hunt takes place in the early morning, an hour before sunrise.

That’s pretty cool videos comrade, but I noticed that you are carrying the shotgun. Don’t you put too many holes in the pelt with a shotty? Why don’t you use the .22LR?
What are you doing with pelts?

Sure am glad that I only allowed 20 min of my day to be "lost" watching this U tube production ..

I'm surprised that nobody picked up on where this dude was from, from the get-go..what and how they do business over there is their matter but don't put these kind of ideas in the heads of those making our trapping regs in the name of "Green Peace/ Greta

Welcome to the forum!

You guys beat me to it, I was pretty sure you can't legally shoot a Martin, trapping only

Trappers can shoot fur bearers, but it makes no real economic sense.

And you still need a traplline to shoot quota species.

Looks like the OP is Russian trying to get traffic to his page

Gotta ask why

I thought he was talking camera. The only way you can legally shoot one.

He is Russian, he speaks Russian. It is unclear where the hunt happened. He doesn’t mention that in his videos.
