How about this, you make an entry to the pen, and on the inside of the pen it's the trap at that entrance. So the marten goes in thinking it goes to the hens, but enters the trap. Would that work?
Raw chicken is a good idea . I don't have the confidence in anything I can setup to do what you suggest . If I screw up it has a midnight buffet set out for it .
The tracks come in and out of the wood from under my big storage trailer. So that is where I want to put the trap .

I don't know how well they actually work. A guy I work with has something like this for his garden and he said it's helped keep the animals out after.



I found these night eyes device interesting to keep unwanted animals out also.

As I am around all day every day . These night time red eye things might be a good thing to try around the perimeter of the fence .

I use to trap animals as a kid for their fur. The best kind were the connibear ones. They were heavy wire in a square and a coiled spring made of heavy wire on the sides. The animal puts its head into the trap to get the bait and it goes off around it’s body. Animal was always dead when I checked the trap. :peace: Harry
