BIG G wheton machine 1,594 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 we were out pike fishing yesterday and a cheeky mink was hanging around us, then the we bas tard bounces up to us without fear and stops about 4 ft away then makes a dive into our bait bag and takes off with half an eel, we were laughing at the nerve the we git had. so is it legal for terriers to take the mink?

BIG G wheton machine 1,594 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 In that situation if your dog was with u & killed it you'd be fine. we laughd but then my thoughts turned to helping the place out by taking th terrier next time, the minks were chasing the moorhens and duck from the reeds causing quite a nusience of themselves. so it is legal to hunt them with terriers in northern Ireland by the way Quote Link to post

slip lead 862 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 If you was to catch a mink in a trap you can not release it You must humanly kill it, it would be illegal to let it go. Quote Link to post
slip lead 862 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 If a mink is found in a trap/snare it would be illegal to release the animal as it's not a native to our country. It must be killed humanly but what do you do if you haven't a gun Quote Link to post
