Marten / Fisher Location and Bait/Lure advice
I didn't want to get off topic on the other thread. I have been a Jr on a large line for about 5 years. My area has not been trapped much in the last 8 years. I have set out boxes every year through much differing areas and never seem to have much luck. I picked up probably 5 marten and 2 fisher over the past 5 years.
I have set in mixed forest with old growth, super tight spruce and pine with lots of blow downs, new reforested area about 15-20 years old. And I'm sure many others... not sure why my catch percentage is so low. I use plastic boxes with beaver typically, and some sort of lure such as marten magic or Forsythe fisher/ marten lure. I tried adding a bunch of chicken fat to some of my bait last year and got quite a few weasels but still no luck on the others. Any advice on what to try differently? My Sr gave me some home made lure to try that is a secret recipe. Sure is nasty looking smelly stuff, had it out at 7 sets and still no takers in the past 2 weeks.
