tsteve9999 456 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Vhile fishing a few years ago I watched a stoat go through a large warren on the opposite bank. He went in one then a few seconds later came back out at full pelt with a bloody huge rabbit chasing him. It ran him for a few yards then turned round and went back as if it was a normal thing to do, I must admit I was amazed. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid 935 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thats really good footage of that stoat on life, and was new footage. The fox chasing the ibex was amazing too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
77 si 21 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Just seen a Spectacular Scene of a Stoat chasing and Catching a Rabbit on Life. For those who missed it it will be Repeated next Sunday. I saw it too couldnt believe how fast he killed it considering the rabbit was five times the size of the stoat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 The fox chasing the ibex was amazing too. That really was amazing, fair play. That Ibex was only a week old too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poacher3161 1,766 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 It is an amazing site the last time i saw it was on a falconry holiday up scotland were a group of us watched a stoat chasing a rabbit down a bank and across a stream towards us at the same time the stoat connected with the rabbit a lad in the group slipped his male gos wich connected at the same time the stoat jumped back and was jibbering at the gos for a few seconds before running into cover.The group gave the lad some stick i called him the stoat mugger it was definatly one of them times you wished for a video camera.atb dell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edd_Wiltshire 9 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yeah they are awesome animals, I was walking the dog one lunchtime in the summer and heard a rustling in the bush, stopped dead still and something moved a meter up an old oak tree in the ivy, then a little stoat popped its head out, stared at me for about 45 seconds then shot off. Admittedly i didn’t see it hunt but really makes my day when you see one. I kind of wish the footage was shot from a greater distance away, didnt think the zoomed in camera style suited the chase but still great. Anyone know of any tame stoats!!!

Paid 935 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I was once sat in a round flower bed having a smoke with friends and a stoat chased a rabbit about 4 times round thee flower bed then both shot of into the undergrowth. Used to see a lot working at windsor great park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
