Exciting new concept in catching wild mink

My son and a co worker were working on a tractor at their ammonia plant when they saw a wild mink and decided to give chase. The mink, apparently not to fond of the idea, hid under a tractor tire. Now I’m not too sure what these 2 guys were supposed to be doing but 1 hour later the mink decided to try to make its escape and the chase was on. It’s probably not a well known fact but mink are not very good open field runners. “They aren’t as fast as you’d think” says Tony. Anyway here is a picture of a hand caught wild mink.

They turned the mink loose.
This is the second report I’ve heard of wild mink in close to farm operations. The other was of a mink coming out of a pit at a cattle confinement ½ mile from a pond or creek.

mink are basically land animals that are usually found close to a water source.

I'm sure when the going is good, they roam everywhere. To me tick marks indicate that they have hunted away from water.

Try catching one wearing waders and they seem to just stay out of reach(but not always).

used to milk cows seemed like once a year one would have to visit the barn to find a mouse for dinner i figoured. real challenge getting cows in the barn then liked to kick after you got them in . you know what it smells like when you skin them have one spend a day or two in a barn. the cows didnt like it.
