Species Account:
It crossed the road at 4 am in the dark on my way to Hells Canyon Dam. About 1/4 mile north of Limepoint Creek. It had the gallop like a wolverine, small head, bigger than a badger but smaller than a bear, and a long tail. Got a pretty good look at it in my headlights at close range. Heard of a couple other sightings in past years.
