I have a question: Do the weasels here turn white in winter? I caught one in January in a cage trap one year here that was brown and I let it go. Mostly because we have a big problem with moles/gophers/chip monks that make a lot of mounds in our lawns and I hoped the weasel would eat them. There was no white on his head or back. In Alaska in the late fall they turn white with the tip of the tail black. They don't turn brown again until the start of "break-up". Then the fur around their eyes turns brown and the color spreads over their body. We kept one once through the change.
