Atv South Dakota

Does anyone know what kind of animal is it? My husband took this photo today while on his ATV.?

Wow! Definitely a marten. I congratulate him bloodstains. Both martens and fishers are mustelids fascinating: funny, athletic and just an absolute joy (except for a friend of ours who had martens destroy all of its toilet paper while he was on a trip to climb the icy water falls – they then have to use the snow for this purpose)
