He's a great big fella but did he scream when he brought out the bugger attached to his hand.lol I'm laughing now at the thought of it. I think mink are like ferrets-some can grow helluva big. 1 Quote Link to post

There was a mink farm not far from us in south yorks , that regulary got raided by animal rights nutters who went on to release large numbers of mink into the countryside So for years we had some good hunting but they seemed to have thinned out now , but we did see some big buggers Quote Link to post
Rob58 1,596 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 thought i would post this mink i have just finished he measures 21 inch from nose to base of tail 1 Quote Link to post
del1991 0 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Is it possible that he saw a pine martin and thought it was a mink? I imagine its a mistake that could be made if he saw it from a distance. Quote Link to post
