Mink walking a log

Very difficult to get a picture this close of a mink, but this one walked the log and never saw the camera until it was too late. Camera speed is great to work with but hiding the camera is more important for close pictures. If the mink had seen the camera I think it would have never walked the log.

It also takes patience to leave a camera for weeks on end and never get a picture, so be sure to study the animal and know what trails it uses. This increases the odds of getting a good picture.
