comanche 3,071 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 anyone bolted mink i have shot em but never bolted them I've found on a couple of occasions that ferrets back out with their tail like a bottle brush if a mink is home . I well remember once when my jill had emerged somewhat bristling and shaken . The dog continued to mark the hole -albeit in a rather perturbed -looking manner . Like a pratt I stuck my head down the hole and came face to face with minky. He spat and shrieked and I made a girly sort of noise !. Last time I saw a mink while ferreting it popped into a pipe under a gate . Blocked one end with the spade and poked a 410 up the other end . Quote Link to post
fcuktheban 140 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 My big hob that died a month back bolted a mink. Mink shot out an unnetted hole and the ferret came out another with a mink moustache. Quote Link to post
