Unless we get a picture or a geographical location, we'll never know.

X2 And all ages.
The first mink I killed was less than half the size of the last one.

Mustelids come in sizes from barely bigger than a mouse to 100 lbs.

Whatever this was, it sure wasn't a mini anything..... Body was at least 1 foot long, maybe more.

How long was the tail in relation to the body?
