Marten for Money: Rough Grading and Handling Tips

[@coondogbob]

Awesome info sir

[@NorthernTrapper]

Good explanation Jim. I always tell my students. You are spending money until you catch the animal. Now how you handle it can either make you money or lose you money. It’s all in presentation and primeness of the pelt.

Good video Jim the worst thing I see in marten trappers is ground sets and handling the trapped animal from trap location to skinning shed. Mouse chews 80 % discount to select. If I can’t catch a marten hanging from a pole and then wrapped up in a fur bag and moving blanket on its way to the fur shed better to let it live and breed

Here in SE Yukon, nearly all juvenile female marten will make the large size when put on male board- a prime example of Bergmans Law. Biggest marten occur at higher elevation-3,000-3500'. Why, I have yet to determine.
