genuine pure wild polecat

[bullyson 2,023]

for the lads that asked for a pic, soz it took so long i forgot here's my hob and i can guarantee he is 100% pure.

he is totally hand tame which took the last six or so months i've had him since he was a young un. i will be working him this season to rabbit rat and greys. he has only bit me twice since i've owned him and i never wear a glove while i handle him. ive had some that would bite me straight through a falconry glove and i've had some which would never be able to be worked but this lad is as tame as anything. i also have 2 pure jills. cheers keith.

 

ps i dont want this to turn into an arguement on wether he is the real mckoy or not.

He looks a nice'un

 

Do you think there will be any advantage to a pure Poley? I cant see it personally, would be great if it is a good workers though

 

Is it not abit big for Rats?

i dont think he is too big for rats, some of the W poley hobs i have owned have been giants. if he proves to be a good worker then i will deffo be mating him to my pure jills next year, i think if you hande them enough at a young age and keep it up then a few will be hand tame obvisiouly a few wil keep their wild instinct and be shy and will bite, with them they will go back to the wild or back to a mate whos a wildlife ranger. my mate has tamed 2 wild mink he got them when they were young and even had a video of him handling them. he also had 2 weasels as well as a stoat. i think anything is possible with time perseverence and patience. but this is just my opinion obvisiouly others think different but as i always say " each to their own " cheers keith.

 

ps i will take some pics of my 2 jill tomorrow. one is nearly hand tame but one just wont be just wants to bite all the time.

bullyson, keep us updated with your polecats. Hob ferrets as a rule are indifferent rat hunters, so it would be interesting to see how the hob polecat goes on. An interesting project to follow....

I can say that pure polecats and 3/4 bred ones are super workers if as bulllyson says you handle them regularly. They have an in bred haterid of rats. They can be a bit hard on rabbits but thats nothing. I only have one left now so need to get a few more.

highlander here's a pic of my pure jill. she's over a year old. extremely small and i think she would fit anywhere. if all goes to plan next year and my 2 jills keep ill sort you out with a jill and when shes old enough to breed drop her down to me and ill get her lined for your to another wild hob. cheers keith

Them polecats look like belters mate hope they do well for you. I know someone with a polecat but shes had him castrated so no good to breed with now but hes tame as can be. He was hand reared at a nature reserve before she got it, hes the real mccoy too.

 

Think Ill stick to ferrets myself though but best of luck with them
