A Pine Martin taken by my wife. She got honorable mention in a photo contest.

What a fantastic photograph!!! Thank you for sharing it with us.

I've only seen one on a nature show. Marty Stouffer's Wild America, I think.

I hunted trom 1942 to 2007 and saw lots of animals in the woods, but never saw a Pine Marten. Your wife was lucky to catch this picture of one.

A few weeks ago, NH public radio had a report on their recovery in NH. You can access it here http://www.nhpr.org/post/frigid-peak...rtens-comeback

That is an absolutely marvelous picture.

In my eyes it gets 1st place.

Belmont Resident · 02-03-2013, 08:35 PM

Word is they are still abundant up there and hunted for their fur.
She sat for about 1/2 hour in the snow to get just the right shot.
Bear hunting season had just ended and all the unused bear bait had them coming in for a free meal.

Nice shot....She did good.
