Ross your threads are great and I have hunted that unit hard with very little success.

Was going to say pine Martin but think Ermine is correct he came up to about 15 feet checking the old man outseen a good amount of Does in 5 days but only 3 bucks cut about 5 other bucks but they were running at night….had a funeral last Saturday for a pocket I learned and a very nice buck was shot in it that day, otherwise heard of one dandy being lost and a couple other like mine being shot….tougher than tough unit for sure for muleys and with only 14 days it makes it super tough even when you know the country wellalso Will say I was the only out of state plate I saw not the number 1-50 choice for non residents for Muley hunting

I watched this happen today. He was a cool buck with lots of trash. ...but still not as cool as an ermine.

The tell tale sign of an ermine is they turn white in the winter and are small compared to a pine Martin. I have seen both up there. Grew up in Alaska and ermine are good to keep around and not heavily trapped because in the winter when the squirrels are living in the attic and crawl space ermine will go in and clean house. Weasels are tough little sh!ts!
