There were fresh bear tracks in the area so we had to get it out that night or risk losing it. When we got back to the moose after dark, a pine marten had staked a claim on it. It was hilarious watching his antics as he tried to run us off. The hide was lying there frozen to the snow. My partner was at one end of it and the marten grabbed the other end and tried to take off with it. You can guess how successful it was at dragging a frozen down moose hide. He had his teeth in it and was trying to drag it backwards, throwing snow with all 4. When we were done and leaving, he was up on the rib cage shaking a fist at us - "and don't come back you thieving scumballs!" “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit. |

They sure don't need much of an opening. Smelly bastards too. “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.” |

It was over so quickly I didn't even have time to jump or even make a move or hardly make as sound (which was less like a scream and more like a giant intake of breath).

I'd strongly suspect that what was seen was a ferret, which live in PD colonies and prey on the "dogs" all the time. Here in Utah and Wyoming, the conservation depts are trying to re-introduce the endangered black-footed ferret to PD colonies to protect the species. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult. |

Rock Chuck Campfire Kahuna Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 69,846 Likes: 38 | It's common for people to mix up mink and pine martens. They're about the same size and general shape but martens are a bit more like a cat and have bigger ears and fuzzy tails. Otherwise they look very much alike. pine marten mink “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit. |
