Here's a picture of the pine martens that me and a buddy got at the beginning of December. The one of the right is a female, and smaller. Pretty cool critters.  |

They're neat little critters and are very curious.I've had them climb up the tree next to my ladder stand and look at me at eye level.They're also hell on the pine squirells we have here.Watched one chace a squirell thru the spruces,jumping tree to tree from the boughs.Didn't think the squirell was gonna make it but it eluded capture that day.Also see Fishers too,they're cousins to martins but quite abit bigger.

I always thought they were something like a mink or weasel, and I guess they are, but they really don't look like I thought.
The bigger one looks similar to a small fox to me.

Are those things farily common?
I mean, do you see them often as say, coyotes, bobcats, etc....

I see martins quite often in the boreal forest zone I hunt in.I've even had them approach me more than once while on a trail.
Hunt,they are of the weasle family like fischers,scunks,wolverines.

Boreal forest are northern forest made up mostly of spruce and aspen.Very heavy understory of willow and alder and quite difficult to hunt in,you can't see more than a few yards in there.Our hunting consist of using the siesmic lines that were cut when they were exploring for oil and natural gas.

I've never seen or heard of a pine martin.They must be a northern animal. We don't have them in Tn or La where I hunt.The coyotes would eat them if they lived around here.LOL
