Nice coat he's got on... :angel:

 

We caught this chap in the pens on Friday... Evil git!

We shot it in the trap with 32gr 6's which only served to anger it somewhat,,,,it needed a second barrel quickly!!

You do know that's a polecat

yup. a European Polecat... a lot bigger than domestic ones, and a necessity for game bird protection in pheasant pens..

Does serious damage if left uncontrolled.

I was considering getting it stuffed, but i will probably just skin it. It was found on a small stream running into the river Usk. It was treed, then shot and retrieved. :thumbs:

Good shot I heard it was.........exceptional even.

 

Aye, and i never knew spiderman lived in wales :laugh:

I thought they were protected? Without a license at least, or is that only for certain methods?

You are not allowed to set traps to target them specifically, but if caught in a live trap, may be dispatched with a shotgun or other human method.
