The season nears...marten beginings
« on: September 09, 2016, 06:12:17 PM »
IV already scouted many a area for beaver mink muskrat and bobcat a few spots seem promising and IV located two spots that appear to be a good location for marten! :IBCOOL: My friend has an old skidoo tundra he is tuning up for the season and i have a chance at a 1990 artic cat jag 440 I plan to pick up tomorrow. In sure a few of you have experience with sleds in the snow? This will be my first sled and IV read they are decent for trapping ( fuel mileage,stability, good beginner sled) anyone have  :twocents: on this sled or tips for a pair of beginner martin trappers??
