Kind of. Actually with the mink I do a trade. I carry ground meat in my pocket, and when the mink takes its kill to their carry box, I trade them for a hand full of pre-ground meat. Then I take what they catch home, eat it if I want, and then grind the leftover parts, or the entire animal if I don't want to eat it, and feed it to them on a future hunt. Near the end of this video, you can clearly see my wife making the trade.

Yes, minkenry actually has more in common with falconry than it does ferreting. Because mink are wild predators, it is much easier to use training methods developed for other wild predators, than it is to try to force the mink to do things that a domestic animal will do.

Have you trained a ferret his way or thought about it Minky?
