Fieldsporthunter 1,864 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 They like Pitt vipers. Can be tamed but always a bit nippy especially when they fired up working. Leave them a couple days in hut with out bothering with them and they go back towards the wild side. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its a fair old distance and we regularly fen trap the place so not the best place for a polecat ... The wood is full of rabbits pheasant and partridge ...

It's to old to tame gnash ... At best you would get it to a stage where you could pick it up if it let you do it would be no good for working and would be destined to a life of being caged ... I would rather let it go in a safe wood that's got plenty of food for it ....... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

myersbg 1,385 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Protected species, supposed to be released where you caught them strait away. I would keep it very quite when catching such species. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
