    I have never seen a mink before but I did today.I was sitting on a edge of a thicket a female Mink came sneaking by the stand and I new it was a female because when it ran in this bush a bunch of little baby ones came running out.I videoed it and to some screen shots to show you what they looked like.

    Here is the Mom

    Mink are very cool... my boy and I were out in the creek last year behind our house, and we heard something clamoring up some rocks coming at us... we paused, turned and looked and a big male mink peeked over the rocks at us. He was beautiful.

    Mink are beautiful creatures... used to trap them back in high school. They have a STRONG musk that will let you know if they're nearby
