Any one help a fellow trapper out I want to build some martin boxes for the koro rat traps. I was wondering what size boxes people are using/building. Any help would be awsome.

If you look back through the trapping threads I know there are some on the use of KOROS with pictures of boxes.

I’ve trapped them heavy in Ak and the newspaper tubes worked best for me and I tried everything. They stack super well inside ea other, cold doesn’t bother them and they are light.

I went out and measured mine. 4 1/2" x 5" x 10" all inside diameter. I'm not trapping marten though but that does fit the KORO rodent trap. It seems like the marten guys are using longer boxes though.

Awsome thanks for the information.

I will get some pics with measurements up tonight
But be smart, careful and polite where setting traps as you might be setting near sets already made

Kales15 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 12, 2024, 11:13:52 PM »

Not worth a damn iv caught 10 coons a handful of oppsums and one buck mink have seen any cat sign around im use to them comen down low in the winter but this 50 and 60 degree weather isn't helping my trap line at all

Yep it’s been a difficult season, Hawaii weather hasn’t helped

And it doesn't help that I moved to a new area and don't know it that well so this year is just a learning year. I have a few areas I'll scout out for next season.
