Marten Bags it's Lunch

By candlelight the days happenings are told.... hopefully soon it will be the both of us out there again.
 You would think the Marten would eat it were it killed the rabbit..... but No..... it dragged it along the river for 300ft , then up a steep bank onto the sand bar and then 1/2 km down our trail.  Sometimes dragging it on the left side, sometimes on the right side.  He'd eaten some then continued to drag it .  The last I saw of the tracks were under a brush pile where the Marten had had lunch.  Then off he dragged the rest into the bush.  No way was he leaving it stashed.

  1. Maybe the Marten know's that, there will be slim pickin's . I Hope that Vikki's back is strong enough to hit the trail again soon. Take care :)Brian(:

  2. Brian I like that little jig you made for Squirell snares. I did not see a patent number on it so when I get home I will make one.

    Cheers!!!!!

  3. Steve.....you'll be happy you did. each snare is perfect. Brian, hopefully I'll be following on the trail in 3 days time. Art..a propane 24" stove with oven and the wood stove for cooking things that need to simmer like cabbage rolls,stew,soup, beans, chili.
