pine martin

[patdahat 41]

just wondering if anyone has come across the pine martin(tree cat) while trapping mink or squirrel's, and are they protected or what's the story with them?

strictly protected mate

protected. Best to let them go exactly where you found them. Move your mink trap elsewhere and reset.

exactly what was done

[waidmann 105]

did it have a white or gold "bib" bud?

(stone or pine martin)

 

they are beutifull creatures and so agile its unreal(they make the mustelids look like sloths).

Don't you mean:

 

"They make the other mustelids look like sloths?"

 

Not being a smart arse, I'm currently half way through reading a book about the evolution of the carnivores!
