Tug 168 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 We've had wild poleys scuttling round in a warren we were working, definitely wild because it was off like a rocket when it saw us. Never seen a kill though, although I've seen some cracking footage of a weasel doing it's hypnotic "war dance" to catch a rabbit. Think it was one of Attenborough's things for BBC. Quote Link to post
