I live in Mountain Top Pa. Last winter I was cross country skiing in a snow storm late one night and was tracked by a group of these critters. Guy who works for me trapped one and it weighed 65 pounds. Have a picture of it somewhere. A pack of 65 pound crafty animals is pretty scary.
Scary is the 1800 lbs bulls that share the pasture with me. They are s--thouse rat crazy, since we're keeping them from the cows. I'd take 65lb dogs any day. At least I wouldn't have to repair fences.
