I was snowshoeing today with my dog at Swedetown trails about 2 miles from Calumet in Houghton County. An animal that I believed to be a wolverine ran across the trail about 100 ft away. I know enough about wildlife to know what this animal was not - not a coyote, not a bobcat, not a wolf, not a badger, not a marten, not a fisher....not a bear. The snow was formed enough that I could see the outline of its tracks. Definitely not canine tracks. They were smaller tracks smaller than my 90 lb lab makes - about 2 1/2 - 3 " across. This wolverine was moving pretty quickly - possibly it realized that my dog and I were near by - so I didnt get a look at its face. But this was a fairly large animal - at least 30 pounds - with beautiful two toned long very dark brown fur and a long tail.  I realize that wolverines are quite rare, but I believe that is what I had the good fortune to see today!!
