Scènes sportives au Canada - Round the Traps, 1858. '...la martre est peut-être le plus précieux des animaux recherchés ; mais en piégeant pour lui une grande variété d'autres des tribus à fourrure tombent dans le piège...le trappeur plie vers le bas un gaucher raide, l'attachant légèrement au sol au moyen d'une cheville crantée. Au sommet du jeune garçon, il appose le piège avec une string, le pose, et, fendant recouvert légèrement de feuilles, disperse des abats de chevreuil ou toute sorte de viande... la martre ou le coin de quelque sorte que ce soit, en tirant autour de l'appât, jaillit inévitablement le piège, et, à

To the top of the sapling he affixes the trap with a thong, sets it, and, haying covered it slightly with leaves, scatters some offal of venison or any kind of meat about...The marten or comer of whatsoever kind, in tugging about at the bait, inevitably springs the trap, and, at the first pull, slipping the sapling away from the peg, up he goes into the air...In the first trap we came to there was an animal known to the hunters as a fisher...(although) he catches no fish, but depredates in the tree-tops and thickets...This is the animal represented in the Sketch. A blow on the head from the tough hickory wiping-stick... carried by the trapper, settled his business, and on we went. In the next trap...we found the forepaw of a marten; and in most of the others, amounting perhaps to a dozen, there were martens, fishers, or minks-the latter of which is a sort of water-marten or diminutive otter, with a very good dark brown fur'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
