Say Hair... any chance it was a Mink?

It was way too little, aren't mink about the size of our river otters? seriously only as big as a chipmunk or small squirrel, just loooooooonger. and brown on top white underneath.... like this one sortof.

And it was ruthlessly brave coming back and ready to re-attack the rabbit that was 4X it's size with us and the dog standing there on the other side of the fence. Dangedest thing I ever saw here!

The white belly would make it a not-mink I would suppose, if it is what you have it pictured there then... and I don't think ferrets have that coloring either.

Looks like ya gots a weasel. Nothing a .22 couldn't handle. It's perfectly OK to decide which varmints you like and which ones you don't like. It's OK. :-)

It's a ferret. The he'd have been that brave around my dog he'd have been a nice pair of earmuffs!
