FraserN Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have seen several up here in the Northwest. With the white under the chin, it is definitley a mink. Long ago, when you could keep big trout up here, a few of the spin fishermen used to lose their fish to mink. They would stringer the fish, and contintinue fishing. A few hours later, they would come to get the fish, and it would be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishers can also sometimes have a white blaze on their chin/chest etc.,and I've never seen a mink with a head the size of a housecat.....then again,I've only skinned a few hundred weasels,mink,marten,fishers and otters combined over the course of 20+ years trapping experience so I'm not eggzakly what you'd call a qualified expert with a bunch letters after my name.
