They're rare to see no doubt. I have yet to see one not in a trap. I believe they're the only bigger critter in NA that I have not laid eyes on in a random sighting besides oddball southern critters like panthers, etc.
Crazy thing is, I had about 12 cubbies set out, all winter long. Not in a huge area mind you, but a few miles in length. I caught all three of those males within about a 500 yard stretch, and got nothing throughout the rest of my line.
