Pulled my line yesterday. Numbers have dropped right off for me lately. Time to give them a rest until next season.

Uke did you find more female marten catch later in season or still high male/female ratio.

The opposite! Was higher on the females earlier in the season and started seeing more males later in the season.

Looked at my final numbers. 60% female and 40% male this year. Slower year than normal with only 61 marten at the end of December. Pulled the line.

Uke, your female ratio is quite high, may hurt you in later years as they are your breeding stock. Hoarny males can cover lot of country and get to all the girls.
