Minkenry 1,044 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) We went rat hunting for my birthday on Saturday. Here are some pictures of the hunt! Be sure to click on the link at the bottom of the page to see the video of our hunt! Here are the two terriers that participated in the hunt. The black on on the left is a pure patterdale terrier, and the brownish black dog on the right is half game bred pit bull, half patterdale terrier. Here is my wife Maggie with my buddy Cade's minkenry dog Carl. He is 1/2 boarder collie, 1/4 catahoula leopard hound, 1/4 pharaoh hound. Cade uses him to hunt rats and rabbits along side his mink. and raccoons and wild cats by himself. This dog is almost a year old, and actually killed his first coon just a week ago. He got a 22.5 lb (10.2 kg) boar coon! Here are the three dogs waiting for rats to come popping out. Here we are after the hunt. From left to right is Alex Smith holding my Albino mink Ma'ska, Cade Pocock with his Mahogany doe mink Mhera and his minkenry dog Carl, my beautiful wife Maggie Carter, Joseph Carter (me), and Justin Crowley. Unfortunately our friends Jake Barrowes and Martin Cisar with his terriers, had already left before we could get a picture with them. Here's the video of our mink and dogs hunting rats on Saturday. http://youtu.be/2N91B49pxvg Edited December 22, 2014 by Minkenry Quote Link to post
