theres been alot of debate around herealocally as to whether we have weasels in our neck of the woods. Its been years since anyone locally has caught or seen one in my area,least to the best of my knowledge. the kids and i went for a drive tonight and had an interesting find.this weasel alongside the road. i stopped and picked it up because it was hard to believe what id found , especially when most everyone here says theyre gone now. we had em years ago cause my grandma had em killin her chickens and she set some rats traps for them and caught a few one year when i was young. seems like the mystery is now solved, least for Jackson county. we do have weasels at least in one area thats about 12 miles from my house. i realize these animals have little value for their pelts because they dont change white here but it was an interesting find none the less.

That's a summer weasel, fur buyers won't buy it, they want the white winter version. You could probably get something for it from a taxidermist, though.

7, here our weasels here dont change to white in the winter. ive spoken to the DNR since i posted this pic and they confirmed we have a few but that they do not change white.
im gonna tan it and keep it for myself.
i picked that one up and posted the pic the same day.
