yea! where I used to live there were shed loads of them, I even found a litter of them sleeping above ground in broad daylight, didnt have the heart to kill them though. There used to be mink farms up here and they all escaped in the 60's they do alot of damage to ground nesting birds and such like. I dug up a few with my old lab X he hated them, I remember the first one he caught, the smell took me totally by surprise I nearly gagged but what was even worse he then ate the bloody thing lol
