You are right about the short life expectancy. I'm guessing by Sunday I'll have 2-3 pelts on the wall. How many does it take to make a coat?

Saw one fishing tonight from about 20 yards. He was diving from the shelf ice. Stayed under about 20 seconds. Didn't get anything and didn't run too fast when he saw me. Maybe the local taxidermist will get some business.

Hey Cecil, how about a mink standing over a trout like in the picture above?
