ADDITIONAL NOTES ON FOOD OF MINKS. 



THE MINK AS A FISHERMAN. 

 MR. PIERSON, Dysart, Pa.: 



Minks destroy an immense amount of trout here. They 

 catch them after they run them under stones or logs when 

 they have them cornered. I, on one occasion, trailed a Mink 

 that caught from fifteen to twenty trout in one night and eat 

 part of each. 



A. W. RHOADS, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.: 



I have personal knowledge of the catching of fish by Minks 

 and Raccoons: they 6\\e for them in shallow waters. 



MR. ARTHUR MARTIN. Sandy Lake. Pa.: 

 Minks have killed many fish in our ponds. 



HON. GERARD C. BROWN, Torkana. Pa.: 



Minks are still around brooks and are good fishers. A Mink 

 won't take long to cl^an out a small trout pond
