Endangered Resources Reports Description American martens are small, rare members of the weasel family. The American marten is sometimes referred to as a pine marten due to the similarities shared with their European pine marten relatives. Their fur is soft and thick, varying in color from pale buff or yellow to reddish or dark brown. The animals' throats are pale buff; their tails and legs are dark brown. Two vertical black lines run above the inner corners of their eyes. In winter, long hairs grow between the toe pads on the American martens' feet. These keep the feet warm and enable the animals to travel on snow. American martens have long, bushy tails that are one-third of their total length. Like other species in the weasel family, they differ in size according to sex. The female is about three-fourths the size of the male. Sometimes people confuse American martens with two other members of the weasel family that live in Wisconsin, fishers (

Fish & Wildlife Today: Fall 1998: A Bull Market For Wildlife: Minnesota DNR Roger Holmes, director of the DNR Division of Fish and wildlife, For example,the limit might be reduced when young pine martens die off after mice, http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fwt/back_issues/september98/bull_market.html

Site Map Contact the DNR What's New? Newsroom ... September 1998 DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife - Fall 1998 One of Minnesota's biggest success stories has been the growing number of deer in Southern Minnesota. The farmland deer harvest is up 300 percent from the 1970s. A bull market for wildlife If Minnesota's game populations were stocks, Wall Street would be buying He tried shrinking it down. He tried reducing the margins. Finally, the only way Kevin Lines could fit the new wild turkey hunting permit area map onto a two-page spread for the 1999 spring hunt booklet was to turn it sideways. "Now that we've got permit areas as far north as Otter Tail County, we're having a heck of a time fitting the map onto just two pages," says Lines, DNR Farmland Wildlife Program coordinator. As Minnesota's wild turkeys have spread north and west, so have hunting opportunities. Next spring, more than 20,000 hunters will be yelping at tom turkeys, up ten-fold from just a decade ago. This recreational windfall is the result of a growing wild turkey population that has skyrocketed from just a few birds in the 1970s to more than 30,000 today. Funded primarily with hunting license dollars, a federal tax on hunting equipment, and donations from conservation groups, DNR wildlife biologists have helped boost populations of many other game species, too. The state's whitetail herd has tripled in size from the 1970s to the 1990s. The giant Canada goose, a locally breeding subspecies considered extinct 40 years ago, now numbers 100,000 in Minnesota. Pine martens and fishers have recovered from near extinction in Minnesota to where state trappers now can harvest some of these furbearers. Black bear numbers are up 400 percent from the 1960s.

This has resulted in fluctuations in how we might expect wildlife to use the passages and how they actually end up using them. Individual animals and populations also need time to adapt to newly constructed wildlife crossing structures. For example, each year large carnivores, (wolves, black bears, grizzly bears, and cougars) steadily increased their use of the wildlife overpasses after construction although cougar use declined in 2000-01 when the resident cougar population declined dramatically in the Bow Valley.

CSERC Home News About CSERC Wildlife ... Links What Are the Current Threats to Wildlife? Meadow damage due to over grazing. Pine Martens are rare inhabitants of old-growth forests. Ringtails, also known as ringtail cats, are related to raccoons. They are listed as sensitive species in our area. Grazing Livestock grazing on public lands causes varying effects on wildlife habitat, depending on how much grazing takes place and the time of the year. Without intensive herding or other active management, cows often trample stream banks, causing erosion and sedimentation that affects amphibians, fish, and other aquatic species. Over-grazing of meadows can eliminate or degrade grass and wildflower habitat for many wildlife species. Of special concern is the loss of shelter - the loss of tall grasses - that small wildlife species depend on for protection from scorching summer sun or from aggressive predators. Logging The cutting of large trees or the creation of large openings in the forest often eliminates important structural habitat for goshawks, fishers, martens, spotted owls, and other sensitive wildlife species. Clearcuts denude entire hillsides, removing plants that provide food and shelter. Bulldozed skid trails cause erosion that can lead to sediment washing into streams. Logging slash increases the risk of forest-damaging wildfires. Intensive logging disturbs wildlife needing refuge from chainsaws, noise and traffic. Wildlife can co-exist with logging - but only if snags, large trees, and adequate canopy cover are retained when logging is done.

Osprey The forest is also home to good populations of the highly nocturnal badgers, pine martens and wildcats. There are two hides at which some of these might be seen - one specialising in pine martens at Rothiemurchus run by Speyside Wildlife tel 01479 812498 and one for badgers near Boat of Garten run by the Highland Badger Network tel 01479 831768. The magnificent wildcats are not so easy to find and although they are plentiful enough it takes patience and a lot of luck to find them. A slow walk into the breeze in the forest at night with a torch offers the best chance. Red squirrels in Strathspey do not have to compete with American grey squirrels and they can be seen in or near any of our pine forests. They quite like the easy pickings to be found at bird tables so gardens close to the forest are excellent places to look. Water provides a home, or a food supply, or both for many wildlife species. Here in Strathspey we are privileged to share our valley with three very exciting creatures that depend on our waterways. Otters almost died out further south due to pollution but here they have always been plentiful. Otters are generally nocturnal but in quiet areas they are often seen in broad daylight or at dusk hunting along the RIver Spey.

Emerging From Obscurity By Todd Wilkinson, with permission of National Wildlife Federation (from National Wildlife magazine April/May 2000) Wildlife researcher Steve Gehman was camped in the middle of Yellowstone National Park, bracing against a winter storm that had descended on the Shoshone Geyser Basin. Snuggling in a sleeping bag, sheltered by snow hut, he heard a rustling at the entrance to his frigid abode. In from the cold bounded a brown, tube-shaped animal about the size of a house cat that eyed the startled human and then disappeared into the night. What Gehman encountered that night in 1985 was a fisher, an elusive member of the weasel family. The sighting was notable because the creature had not been seen in the area in more than half a century. For decades, the fisher and its smaller cousin, the marten, have been in decline in many parts of North America because of trapping, logging and habitat fragmentation. But these carnivores were largely overlooked because they are small and difficult to study. "These species live their lives very quietly," says Bill Ruediger, the endangered species coordinator for the U.S. Forest Service's northern region in Missoula, Montana. "Sometimes they've had an almost invisible presence in the forest, and ironically they have suffered because we treated them as though they weren't there."

VIOLATIONS SUSPECT NAMED IN DEER KILLINGS Article published January 30, 2004 By Scott Condon Aspen Times Staff Writer Game wardens have cited a Carbondale man for hunting violations and continue to investigate him for the slaughter of four deer outside of town earlier this winter. Charles E. Goure, 37, was ticketed by the Colorado Division of Wildlife for carrying a loaded weapon and hunting with an artificial light, according to court documents. He was advised of the charges and potential penalties Tuesday in Pitkin County Court. Authorities have also examined Goure’s four guns in connection with a December deer poaching incident, confirmed Carbondale district wildlife officer Justin Martens. One doe and three bucks were killed on private property outside of Carbondale last month, prompting the wildlife division to offer an award for information that leads to a conviction in the poaching incident. Wildlife officers questioned a man in connection to the incident before the award was offered. No meat was taken from the deer. The antlers of a trophy buck were also left behind, according to wildlife officers.

Predator Conservation Alliance Slideshow Script Excerpt Home About Us Predator Information Get Involved From "The Wild Bunch" The Marten The marten is a small, housecat-sized predator with brown fur, an orange chest, black legs, and a greyish face. Weighing between one and five pounds, martens have the elongate shape, slender torso, short legs, and fox-like snout of the weasel, to which they are related. In fact, the marten, fisher, and wolverine are all members of the weasel family. Martens posses many characteristics shared by one or more of the forest carnivores, which makes them a good introduction to the entire group. First, not only do martens need boreal forest, they need relatively undisturbed, mature boreal forest. The marten is one of the most old-growth dependent mammals on the continent. Third, it is only fairly recently that we are learning some of the most basic facts about the biology and habitat requirements of the marten and the other forest carnivores. For example, for many years, biologists assumed that martens spent most of their lives high in trees, using branches as their highways, and living on a diet of tree squirrels. Martens eat so many voles year-round that these small mice-like mammals may make up the largest part of their diet.

Page Title 10 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT AARON MARTENS Here are 10 things you may not know about newly crowned CITGO Bassmaster Angler of the Year Aaron Martens. 1. It was at the age of 16 that Martens first began impressing fishermen throughout the West as he dominated Castaic, Calif., area team tournaments with his mother, Carol. The Martens took Angler of the Year honors 11 times and were a fearsome duo in southern California tournaments. 2. "My husband and I had an argument when Aaron was in high school and wanted to give up varsity volleyball to fish tournaments on Saturdays," Carol said. "My husband said there was no future or money in fishing. I said there was no future or money in volleyball. Aaron and I won." 3. Two years ago, Martens moved from California to Leeds, Ala., to reduce his driving/travel time and learn more about Southern bass fishing. 4. "(Competing on the CITGO Bassmaster Tournament Trail) has been a dream since I was 7 or 8 years old," Martens said. As soon as I saw The Bassmasters on TV, I knew I wanted to be out here. It's a dream come true." 5. The then-California whiz kid finished eighth (instead of third) in the 2000 CITGO Bassmaster Classic in Chicago because of a late penalty that incurred when his watch stopped working and he lost eight minutes without realizing it.
