Pine Martin while elk hunting

[razorsharptokill]

 

This guy came calling while I was hunting. He caught a mouse then got spooked and dropped it by me while trying to video him. He was growling at me and paced back and forth until he got the nerve to come back and get his dinner. Very cool!

[Goshawkin]

Very cool! I've wanted one as a pet ever since I saw them on "Wild America" when I was a kid.

We had one run right through camp last year.

I had one that wanted me, and I don't think he was looking for a master either.  He chewed me out then kept coming to with in fifteen feet or so screaming some more.  Ferocious,  yes sir!  The timber was so dark it was hard to see him.

Cool picture, I got to see one looking down at me in a cedar tree in the U.P. one morning during our rifle season, didn't seem very happy I was there.  Very awesome experience though wish I could have gotten pictures, thanks for shareing yours.

Cool picture.

Years ago I shot a nice elk in the snow that took two days to get all of it packed out.  On the second day we arrived at the carcass to find a martin had decided the elk was his.  It was funny watching him do everything he could to defend "his" kill.

Nice photo.  I don't have any photo's but have had a couple of encounters with furbearers. Last year or the previous year, I was getting ready to to climb up to my treestand and I had a nice big fisher go by at about 25 yards.

One year I was reading by lantern light in the old bunk room of a shed, and I heard a rustling.  I look across the room and a white weasle was scampering across the floor. Looking for mice I'm assuming. Love seeing critters when I'm hunting.

Came upon one once feeding on a elk gut pile. He just scurried up a tree and stayed overhead just out of bow tip's reach. Didn't seem a bit frightened, and seems as inquisitive of me as I was of him.
Didn't realize that brown coat with the blaze orange underbelly was so striking. Beautiful creatures.
