On the edge of a small colony, near the Yellowstone River, just a mink's throw away.. Was gaining on him...
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

If mink topped out at 125 pounds, no one would be alive.

No doubt. In the old days I tried trapping mink back east, squirrel was the preferred bait.
No doubt at all they'd eat a PD.

They'll steal the fish off your line if you swing it onto the bank around here.

Ounce for ounce, it'd be a blurr of fur and blood no doubt. Wolverine probably have nightmares of mink biting their balls!

When in my late teens working on a trapline....the owner of the line had a dog, maybe 50-60 lbs, he got into it with a mink and they fell into a shallow well about 6ft deep....only one was coming out alive, the dog was the winner but he could of used a new set of lips afterward LOL, he was pretty shredded.

I've never seen a mink around here but I run into a weasel on occasion. We also have otters in the river and pine martens in the mountains.

This site, https://pinemarten.ie/the-pine-marten/how-to-tell-a-pine-marten-from-a-mink/, says that mink are non-native. Other sites say it is native. I don't know which is true.

The American mink (Neogale vison) is a semiaquatic species of mustelid native to North America, though human intervention has expanded its range to many parts of Europe and South America. Because of range expansion, the American mink is classed as a least-concern species by the IUCN.
Species: N. vison
Genus: Neogale

Had a mink in our front yard one day about a year ago. We're about 500 yards from the nearest pond/crick. It must have been looking for new digs.
