Stuart1985 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) I got a phone from a farmer who said he had a few chickens killed the previous night, and had seen a fox close by I told him I would be up later on that day. When arrived I went into the coup to have a look and I nearly £&@£ myself!!! It was a stoat!!! Corrected its a mink. Closed the door and ran back to get my shotgun, opened the door once loaded up hid behind the door and allowed it to come outside in a safe area to be shot.

Stuart1985 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Yeah kinda look like a tube eh. Not what I wanted, knew it was either or to be honest just the size through me. I know that stoats are mostly a tanned brown colour with a white chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karpman Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I would say no to a stoat not sure what that is as mink are black got any more pics Seen mink in other color variations and it could be wet. One things for sure its dead. Stoats are a gingery brown with white undersides. Karpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
