December Food Habits of Mink in Missouri

Abstract

This study was conducted during the years 1951 to 1953, inclusive, with three principal objectives: (1) to learn the general winter feeding habits of mink in Missouri, as an aid to management; (2) to learn the extent of predation upon other managed species during the winter when foods are most difficult to obtain; and (3) to obtain information of value in appraising good mink habitat.
