| It's to be a short day.... it's 1pm and we'll be back by dark. |
 |
| The Narrows back behind us |
 |
| Upright marten boxes (keeps whisky jacks out of traps) |
 |
| 3 1/4" common nail |
 |
| Use another nail as measurement, then nail it in. |

| Bryan is checking the ice with his chainsaw. lake is 15'deep here .... it is 6 to 7" ... so it's a go |
 |
| Lots of warm springs flow into the lake all winter |
 |
| Only 6" of snow....Bryan had to run my skidoo up the bank |
 |
| Lots of dry grass (which we collect in the fall) makes great camouflage |

A friend of ours started setting his marten boxes upside-down and since then, he has never caught so many Jays. We don't know if they just fly straight up into the box or what.
ReplyDeleteOf course, there is nothing wrong with the upside-down method and I can see the logic behind it. It is just funny that, for him, the whole reason for turning the boxes has not produced the desired result.
Have fun! Love reading your blog and seeing the photos.
