I must be thinking of someone else.
You got me to thinking, though, and I researched a little and found that they are occasionally seen as far south as TN, which surprised me. I am only a few miles from the TN/NC juncture, about 12 mi I believe, so it could very well be that one would wander a little further south. I am just below 2000 ft elevation in the N. GA mountains so, though not likely, I guess it's in the realm of possibility, Anne. They are pretty large weasels, generally cat-size. I sure hope my cat or chickens never meet up with one!
