I seen this on the line today. The trail is coming out of a ditch, up the bank, running the top of the bank and then back down the bank to the water. I'm guessing its a mink dragging a muskrat. The Pepsi can is for size reference and is laying in the trail that I assume was made from the muskrats body dragging in the snow.
Am I right, or way off? [Linked Image]

To add- I didn't find any blood in the trail and the tracks did not start from the hole under the concrete slab (in the first pic). The tracks came from the water and went up the bank. If you look in the first picture, you can see the trail curve around that vegetation.

IMO you are correct; mink dragging a muskrat.


The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
