I assume they auto focus? The quality is amazing.

I've only seen maybe 3 or 4 Martin's in the wild. I managed to photograph one some time ago and posted on here.

Way cool! I’ve never seen a marten in the wild. I thought they would look like a weasel. It reminds me of a cat and a small dog; at the same time.

Thanks Tp!.. No strictly manual focus along with all other camera and flash settings. Auto focus would be hunting all over at night or very low light. So just manually focus on the target area and hope the critters cooperate.

Thank You!.. Sometimes they look more weaselly than others.

I got one fleeting glimpse of one when I lived in the Oregon Cascades and that was the only one ever in the wild.
I read somewhere when I first started camera trapping that you have to think like a landscape photographer and fur trapper combined. I regrettably was a fur trapper for many years but the experience helps in this new hobby.

Impressive, well done!

Awesome pics Ron. Clearly, your trapping experience has paid off in your ability to determine proper set locations.

Blackfoot: Martin are in the same family as weasels, mink, otters, wolverines, etc.

Looking back it was actually a weasel I captured a photo of. I saw it run towards a cottonwood tree and I thought it vanished. Looking up the trunk of the tree I spotted it then keeping eyes on me.

Awesome capture! Those seldom stay still.

Yep, that are a weasel....

Like Ron, I've often thought about making a baited set, just as if I was trapping, however instead of a trap I'd set up a game camera nearby. It'd be interesting to see how many assorted critters would investigate.

As always, awesome pictures.
