Young gun 96 1 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I leave them be, they do a good job keeping rats and rabbits down and I like watching them, but they're pretty easy to call in, just squeak and they come running Quote Link to post
webster 90 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 shot one when i got my first permission and regretted the min i pulled the trigger , i now know where the family live and i gut and leave all the internals for them . its great in spring when you see the little ones charing around . now i love sitting watching them now the way they act is so funny when they find their free meal . will try and get pics this year as they are so photogenic Quote Link to post
paulk73 151 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 My terrier caught a weasel in the back garden last year. was a bit gutted to be honest. i personally wouldn't shoot a stoat . Quote Link to post
kruby01 114 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 just watched the video....the amount of rabbits on that land get me there! but no i wouldnt shoot anything unless it was causing a problem or it was for food Quote Link to post
Ratreeper 441 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I agree I would never shoot a stoat, but never mind if you would I can't imagine them sitting still long enough to take aim anyway Watching them chase rabbits is like watching a film on fast forward, I love it and if only we had domesticated stoats instead and they could replace lurchers and ferrets in one go. 1 Quote Link to post
