Mink & fisher
we have seen mink several times running along the shoreline of our property in Wolfeboro. I have not seen the fisher in the area but lord knows we hear it frequently at night in the summer. I also got a shot of a mink (I believe it was a mink) that taunted one of my fishing partners at the 2004 Ice Derby. It came out from the woods and went down the hole that he had a tip up in. He ran over to chase it away. He waslooking down the hole and the thing was gone, but then Pete quickly leaped back as the mink came scrambling back up the hole and ran for the woods. Pete gave chase for a moment. I have no idea why he thinks he can catch wild animals with his hands. He chases squirrels too. Something is wrong with him, anyway, that's a story for another time. When Pete got back to where we were hangin out on the ice he was a littel winded so he grabbed a beer. No sooner did the mink run out on the ice in his direction only to seemingly flip Pete off and run back into the woods. I snapped this picture at that point...
