So they don't relocate?
Well I gotta run and pick up all the dead fisher & marten
on my line clearcut.
Will they be sticking upright, like little fence posts?
The fact is that directly after a clear cut, your harvest of these furs will double in the adjacent areas.
The trapper will then have to target perhaps lynx, wolves, coyote, foxes, as the ecology changes.
at least that's what I've experienced...
