Also you never see mink drag their tail like the otter in the pic. Last edited by Boco; 09/12/23 12:26 PM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

Both otter and mink are really cool animals to observe. Once I was looking to seine minnows and watched otters trap them in a cove. I did leave after filling my minnow bucket. Perch are running now and we always leave a couple scraps to make sure the mink and otter visit. In fact just checked the forecast and its a fishing day! www.lenonlures.com www.facebook.com/lenonlures

I think the mink could fit inside the Deers antlers, so I’m thinking that mink this bout 17 inches body length 6’’ tail at best, which would put it outside of the antlers like it looks like already. it appears bigger in the photo just because the distortion of the photo even if the log is 10 inches wide that puts the mink in about 17 body yeah, big Mink but not an otter.

That deer puts it all in perspective. Its clearly a mink.
