What is this and strutting turkeys
 

I don't know what this first animal is. Can anyone help me out?





Here are some strutting toms. Seems awful early for strutters.





I hope someone has an answer about those first three pics. I'm really getting some strange animals lately.

nice pics of those strutters PJ! got some great color in those pics! as far as the smaller critter in the first 3 pics i would say its either a mink if the camera is close to water, and a weasel if not. tail looks a little thick for a weasel but its hard to tell.

Looks like a mink. Nice strutting pics.....it's almost time!

No idea what that is. My first thought was a squirle, but its too big for that. Nice pics.

Very nice pics.....

+1 for mink

Great tom pics... That affects me the same as a beer ad for a boozer!

I would guess mink or possibly small fisher (don't know if they are native to your neck of the woods), but definitely some critter in the weasel family.

pine martin??

Pine Martin


The body size is too big for a weasel least IMO.

Looks like a Mink to me...I never heard of a Pine Martin,if thats what it is I bet its related to the Mink Family?

It is - bigger than a mink but not as big as a Fisher.

Just my guess based on the photos.

I showed it to a trapper friend of mine and he says definately a mink. I also thought it might be a weasel. I agree, it looks bigger than the few minks I have seen.

looks like a mink or a pine martain or giant SQUIRREL LOL!

Thanks for the nice tom pics. I needed that.:wave:
