Pine Martin

[Cariboo5]

Finished fencing to keep the cattle out and setting up solar panels and trail cams in my area for deer April 16. Five days later deer came in for the mineral. Several small critters also including this one pine martin which is a good size with beautiful colours. Second pic is of a Mule deer doe...

Good pictures. How big do the Martins get! Size of a cat, dog?

I can hear Marty from Mountain Men saying time to set the pine martin traps

Actually, I believe that's a Fisher... I've been trying to get one on the camera but never have.

From Wikipedia: The fisher (Pekania pennanti) is a carnivorous mammal native to North America, a forest-dwelling creature whose range covers much of the boreal forest in Canada to the northern United States. It is a member of the mustelid family, and is the only living member of the genus Pekania.

Thanks for the comments guys...
Chilli .. Martens here on the larger size get up to 24 inches in length and 2 1/2 to 3 lbs in weight. Not a big animal..
BennyV ... I'm sure you are right ....

ronwoodcraft ... It is a martin for sure, the big difference is the size as fishers are considerably larger, ranging from 35 to 47 inches in length and weighing between 8 and 13 pounds. Colour is another indicator as fishers generally have a darker, richer brown coat, often described as a dark chocolate or almost black. Their fur is also longer, except on the face. Pine martins have a lighter, more reddish-brown fur, complemented by a distinctive pale yellow or cream-coloured patch on their throat.

As you I would also like to get a fisher on camera ....
