Let's Go Marten Trapping
So last Saturday I got to see first hand where Sara is trapping Martens. Unfortunately we didn't catch anything after checking all of the traps.
Lets go..
Here is the trap I showed Sara where to setup. We had a blast setting it up. It was fun. I named it Licorice.
It turns out that the next day they caught a Marten in this trap.. And the day after that they caught another Marten.. which is completely ridiculous considering how long it took to even catch their first.. They have caught about 7 or 8 Martens now in the Manistee National Forest. That's pretty good.
Here is Sara trying to hear the Marten on the Marten radio station. Trapped martens are given collars to help track them for Lynnae's project.
