Feral mink can occur in almost any colour; the natural colour is dark brown - black. Pine martens are chestnut brown with an orangey, creamy or white chest and throat. Martens are arboreal although they swim well, mink generally stick to waterways and are essentially terrestrial/aquatic. They weigh almost the same - roughly 1 - 1.5KG
Mink and marten are almost the same size. Martens are a rule are usually up to a few inches longer.
Along with the badger, otter, stoat & pine marten, the American mink is a member of the mustelid family
Sounds like some kind of marten; might have been a mink or a polecat, depends on the colour. If it was dark with no markings then mink, but if it was fairly brown then it could either have been a marten or polecat.
According to the Websters New World Dictonary a " Marten " is a small mammal like a weasel but larger, with soft, thick fur.

Depends on type of polecat or mink you use. American Mink vs European Polecat: Mink for sure, it's larger and more aggressive. Not to mention, being an invasive species to the U.K. (where I live). The mink is also a swimmer, meaning if it took place in water, the mink trumps it. The mink is also considerably more slender, despite it's size advantage. European Polecat vs European Mink: This could go either way, I'm slightly leaning towards the mink though, again, because of it's possible agility because of it's slenderness. American Mink vs Steppe Polecat: This could go either way, again, but I'm slightly leaning towards the Polecat. It should be larger and heavier. European Mink vs Steppe Polecat: Polecat wins. It's larger, heavier and more powerful.
Mink have much larger stomachs because they take big bites of their food. They have sharper teeth to rip thru skin.

The Indians traded the French furs of animals such as fox, otter,beavers, marten, and mink. In return the French gave the Indians pottery and steel knifes, guns,clothing,beads and much more.
Well they are known for attacking prey much larger them themselves so I would say... Yes.
