Mink Tracks Snow

 

When I first saw these tracks I was hopeful they were fisher tracks. Especially being in a new spot camera trapping.  Reviewing a number of track books, I was still not certain. Reaching out to a camera trapping colleague , she identified the tracks as mink. There not quite big enough to be a fisher. In all my hiking I've yet to locate a fisher track in the snow. Guess it stays on my camera trapping bucket list for now.


Its good to always carry some type of measuring instrument in your pack. Its a big help when reviewing tracking books and if you want others to assist.


The other day I packed In a number of  Tc's and set them around this remote beaver pond. There have been a variety of tracks .
