Those mink and weasels are absolute killing machines. Years back on one of our whitewater and steel head fishing trips a mink took down a Great Blue Heron that landed just above our camp. When I made it to the site, the bird's feet were just disappearing beneath a cut bank. We had a brief tug of war, as I was interested in the feathers for fly tying purposes. Ended up leaving the bird there.
Oregon State Univ used to run a mink farm. The managing Prof said they were neat friendly animals until the day they hit puberty. Thereafter, they were absolute devils.
