Got these off an icefishing website. I would give you the link but you have to be registered to see the pics. So I put them on photobucket with the links below. The guy in the pic that goes by the avatar Badgermilk27 says,
"This little mink looked like it came out of one of the holes we drilled and it was obviously hungry because after checking us out to make sure we weren't moving, it started feasting out of our bait bucket, so I tried to catch it, and almost took some teeth, so me and possumilk started feeding it by hand. Then we saw how far I could go before it would stop taking fish from me, and the one between the teeth was the culminating point...I am gonna try to post all four pictures, but I am not guarenteeing anything."
Said it was the upper Baker in New Hampshire two years ago.

That's one of those fish stories that would be really hard to believe without seeing the proof. Thanks for posting it Cecil. Alan
Thanks for sharing. They are cool pictures. My brother and kids really liked them too!
That is amazing. Reminds me of one of my clients telling me about being at deerstand one evening and a big raccoon and a red fox come out of woods at opposite ends of opening and end up at corn pile. They kept sniffing around almost oblivious to each other and ended up sniffing each others nose and then just turning and walking off. I figured the fur was going to fly. He had no camera..but boy would'nt that have been a nice photo!
Those pictures made me smile. I'd like to know how the mink got the nerve to walk up to the ice fishers and beg for a minnow. LOL. I had a squirrel come and eat sunflower seeds out of my hand when I was little so these photos brought back a lot of memories.
