    I don't know what this first animal is. Can anyone help me out?

    Here are some strutting toms. Seems awful early for strutters.

    I hope someone has an answer about those first three pics. I'm really getting some strange animals lately.

    You're not really in an area that has martens, but it looks that size. I'd say mink. Is there water near by?

    I think it's too small to be a fisher, they can weight as much as your tom there.

    Got the definitive word today from an experienced trapper. It's a mink. I thought it was either that or maybe a weasel. As far as I know, we have no martens or fishers in Indiana. Thanks everyone for looking.
