Check out the following story at, "Tales of a Marmot Hunter," another blog written by a marmot enthusiast also living in Colorado. Although some folks do still hunt marmots, the of this blog, James Parfrey, is simply out hunting for the rush of observing the adventures of marmots, so check it out!
For example, a recent post said, "As we were about to leave, I spotted a rather good looking marmot making his way around the lake, no doubt returning home from a visit with his lady friend. He came all the way around the lake to the outlet, where Icy Brook was racing along.
He was going to cross the creek!!
Sizing things up, he hopped from rock to rock with amazing dexterity!!
Marmots may look like lazy fatties, but they can really move when they have to.
As he made his way across, it became clear that he was heading straight towards us.
He darted behind a rock, and then all of a sudden, we were standing face to face.
We exchanged knowing glances, and then as quickly as he appeared, he was gone."
