I use to see em when hunting Escambia River many years ago. My buddy actually shot one. Tried to skin it, but man that thing stunk. Not sure why he even shot it, but we were 16 or 17, so we didn't think things through at that age.

I've seen about 5-6 in my days but I hunt along the River and swamps. When my brother was in high school he trapped to raise money to buy calves to raise. I was in college but remember him being so excited that he caught one, almost as excited as when he caught a bobcat.

When I was the caretaker of an old house in the country it had an old Corn Crib on it. I had a good old Yellow Lab that one of my baseball teammates gave me. One day she brought something from there that looked like a mink but a tad smaller. The next day she got another one. I took them to Mark Mims and he was stumped. He did some research and finally found out that it was some kind of weasel that is rare for Alabama. I don't know what he ever did with those things.
