My wife Maggie and I just had our first child. She's now a month old, so we decided that it was about time she went on her first hunt.....

good to watch wouldnt handle a rat especially when it bites it would be dead

Never too early to start taking your kids hunting

 

But on a different note altogether, either you don't have Weils disease in America, or you're completely insane! In the UK 50% of wild rats carry Weils disease. A bite from one of those would literally be life-threatening!

Rather you than me mate, the only good rat is a dead one ! And even then I don't like picking them up.

Yeah, Weils disease is only common in really wet, humid areas. I live in a desert region. The disease is not known to be anywhere near where I live. Thanks for your concern

Yeah, I'm from Utah, so way west of you. My parents live in Illinois near Chicago. I was there just last winter. I got my first mink back in 2003. This video tells the story of how I got into mink...

I feed meat from my mink's kills, so a mixture of muskrats, brown rats, rabbits, squirrels, kangaroo rats, etc. When I'm first training a mink I dedicate a couple hours a day, every day, for at least 2 or 3 months, usually longer. After they are trained I back off to about an hour a day to every other day, depending on how busy I am.

 

You can get my book on Amazon, but it's pretty expensive on there. Since I'm the author I get a discount if I order it for you. So I like to offer to order my book for people who want to save some money. If you want to order a copy, you can send me a privet message on here, or send it to my Minkenry Facebook page...
