Northern Maine Mustelid Trapline: Weasel Revenge!

Join me on my fall 2023 marten/fisher/weasel trapline in northern Maine. It's been an off year and I'm trapping closer to home due to a number of factors. This has been a great opportunity to learn a new piece of country on a relatively small time and financial commitment, and still pick up some fur!

[@NHJustin]

Been watching for 3 years now, was looking forward to these this season as always! Good luck!

[@trappingtoday]

Thanks!

[@alexstillman1285]

[@shelbyburgey884]

Thanks! New sub here! I live in Ohio I like Maine!

[@enigmaticgwichin1630]

That’s crazy with the tank and the weasel. Glad you were able to hit the line👍

[@cash14587]

Great video. Just found your channel. I had a cat take out my belts one time! Same deal it was trying to live under my hood.

[@trappingtoday]

Thanks. Crazy how that happens animals are funny sometimes

[@MtMan146]

Enjoyed your videos on the line joy watching you check the box's, I use to hunt northern Maine in November Take Care and Stay Safe.

[@trappingtoday]

Right on!

[@swampwhiteoak1]

Good show bud trying to catch up on the tube been busy deer hunting for 5 weeks I Just got my bait stations going for wolves & did a lynx set & 1 marten box should be ready to rock in 3 weeks

[@trappingtoday]

Hope you have a good season

@@trappingtoday Thx brother 👊

[@masstrapper7645]

That’s crazy about that weasel, I guess he should’ve picked a better spot to stand that morning. I wonder if carrying a canteen with water on your hip would help free up that weasel stuck to that box out on the line, as opposed to bringing the box back or destroying the fur. Thanks for bringing us along on the line. I look forward to it every year. It was fun tagging along. Good luck and stay safe out there 👍👍

[@trappingtoday]

Haha yeah never even heard of something like that happen before.

[@chrisholmes6029]

Very educational!

[@trappingtoday]

Thanks!

[@swampwhiteoak1]

Last year i asked this same question - how about setting 2 traps at a stop. If you find a worthy location, please give it a try. Best wishes! 40:49

[@backwoodsty]

Envious of your snow. We just finally got a dusting here in NE MN, just getting the snowshoe snares out and under ice beaver/otter sets in.

[@trappingtoday]

Right on, I'm jealous that you can snare rabbits!

[@backwoodsty]

Sadly I'm sure it'll go away soon.... The same restrictions you have for your trapping (use of cubbies/boxes) is just north of me in the Lynx zone. Sure it won't be long that one gets caught and then we'll lose all snaring and exposed conibear sets

[@leeprimeroessler3277]

Not a pick-up truck, but a pick-up trap!

[@trappingtoday]

Lol

[@Tommyr]

LOVE these trapping vids. Only thing is now KZbin is making us watch ads and this vid has WAY too many ads in it.

[@trappingtoday]

Yep, but I get paid for the ads too, so there's that

[@Tommyr]

I get it but man it's annoying as hell. @@trappingtoday

[@dqreps]

@Tommyr get KZbin premium. You get no ads then. ​

[@Tommyr]

No thanks. @@dqreps

[@dqreps]

@@Tommyr enjoy the commercials

[@scottmoon5015]

Haha poor weasel,never seen such a thing

[@trappingtoday]

Crazy huh?

[@user-so4sf7rp6p]

👍🏼✊🏼

[@swampwhiteoak1]

The weasel was hired by the Mustelid Family Syndicate to prevent you from trapping. He was there to deliver a message…..

[@trappingtoday]

LOL it kinda felt like that!

[@anthonymason2186]

How many Martin are you able to catch in Maine? By any chance do you know the annual harvest for fisher and Martin in Maine. Reason I’m asking is I’m in MN. We can only get 2. Of any combination of fisher and Martin

[@trappingtoday]

25 marten, 25 fisher in maine. The harvest fluctuates widely from year to year. Going off memory, I think it's usually in the high hundreds to low thousands for each species

[@brettkratt6154]

Nice box what dimensions?

[@toddcaskey9984]

How do you know when they ( the traps ) are fired off from so far away? I have always thought that when watching ya lol

[@trappingtoday]

I have good eyes lol! Actually I get close enough to see the springs. Oftentimes once I see that I go back to the truck and get the camera. Hey thanks for the order on the store Todd!

[@toddcaskey9984]

@@trappingtoday I miss the logging and farming videos

[@douglaskampfer2028]

I am surprised that you don't gang set your marten sets, explain???

[@trappingtoday]

Good question Doug. I'll try and cover that, and set spacing in a future podcast episode
