Martens are essentially the wild version of a Ferret also. I posted a video a while ago of one chasing a rabbit in a field of other rabbits and once they choose their target they don't stop until they get it. There will even be closer rabbits to it that are easy targets but they don't care, they keep at the one they initially targeted.

So they are basically the tropical Canadian version of the Honey Badger?

They're all Honey Badgers and Wolverines, but just in different sizes. The Mustelid family is pretty much all the same as far as attitude. Otters fall into the family as well and River Otters are known to be some of the most vicious killers that have been seen in gangs taking down chimps.

The way the guy was following the one Marten in his truck would scare a lot of other predators off of their chase but Mustelids don't care. It definitely knew the truck was there behind him, but their thought process is to keep going and deal with the threats as they present. He was gonna get his prey and if the truck was a threat to him then he'd fight it after he gets the kill. If that was a big cat or a bear being filmed in a chase it would more than likely fall off its chase in order to evade the threat behind it.
