greenergp Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Those things scare the **** out of me, sometimes when you get them in the trap they are bouncing about the trap as if to say " if i get out of here i am going to rip your face off" I make sure they are properly dead before i take them out the trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix's rifle Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Those things scare the **** out of me, sometimes when you get them in the trap they are bouncing about the trap as if to say " if i get out of here i am going to rip your face off" I make sure they are properly dead before i take them out the trap You and me both loved the 9mm garden gun for dispatch. Clean, efficient and cheap if one ever broke out whilst I was there they never got far, either shot or dogs had em. Lovely looking mink that fella, start making yourself a scarf And that bloody screech they make!! Nearly bursts ear drums!

B391 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 When I was a child we had a mink farm behind our house. Awful noise at times. Mind you one day a bunch escaped and there was major hunt on for them which included the police beating undergrowth for them. Some were bitten by them. I was not allowed outside for the day, could only watch the going ons from my bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshMike Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 yes absolutely, fascinating wee critters. And quite sporting too................................. Never seen one in the flesh so to speak. Seen a few otters and stoats but never a mink. Though I saw a fox up a tree recently so I am happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Mink numbers have crashed in a lot of areas, a combination of predation by the resurgent Otter population, and increasing knowledge that they are easy to trap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racing snake Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Top work Remmy. Spend a bit of time myself after those little ****ers on our stretch of river. They're killing machines and one of the most destructive INNS we have. Never seen one that grey before though, I've heard they can get like that but I've only ever seen black or brown.
