Alittle meaner though when you catch one. Had one this year step inside my jaws and miss the pan by centimeters on a 1-1/2! Lucky little...

The gait between impressions varies depending upon if they are walking, loping or on a dead run. Jonathan

Thanks. I've been tracking these beauties for 50 years.

For those new to tracking with an untrained eye, mink tracks can be easily confused with squirrel tracks and otter tracks - especially in the snow. It takes time, practice and more than a guess observation at first to sort these out.

Track sizes can be deceiving, depending on where the impressions are left - in snow, on a sandbar or in varying degrees of mud dampness along the shoreline, soupy to firm.

Key to this is to follow any tracks as far as one can to interpret what the animal is doing along the way and where it is going. Often there are supportive tattletale signs along the way - droppings, diggings, food remnants and the size of entrances. Squirrel tracks always end at the base of a tree, unless you find them and the owner flattened in the middle of the road somewhere.
