with winter arriving in the USA---I would like to remind everyone to test the ice before commiting to walking on it. Take an ice spud and poke holes every few yards to check the ice thickness. 2-3 inches will hold a human being up. Also always carry ice picks when beaver trapping--they come in handy when one falls through. If possible, always beaver trap with a partner for safety purposes. Remember, ice around the hut and dam usually is the thinnest. Been through a few times when I checked and had 8 inches of ice but walked 4 ft towards the hut and the ice was thin. John

My favorite animal to trap would have to be marten or pine marten, as some of you know it by. In the near future I'll be hitting these a little less and concentrating on the k-9s more often. I feel a 100+ season on yotes is alot but I would like to try to double it. John
