Volunteer trappers working in concert with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks have captured 18 marten since early December for relocation to the Little Belt Mountains. They are the cutest little things, but they are really feisty, said Claire Gower, an FWP wildlife biologist based in Bozeman.

But for us, when it s patient after patient and the ones where we re doing everything right, it is absolutely heartbreaking. And when it happens day after day, after day in the height of ticks season, it takes a huge toll. The message for pet owners now is prevention is far better than cure.
