They are top class predator but Fully agree , every last one needs wiping out , spent a few years on there case and the kill factor is amazing , from kingfishers coots morhens infact anything that lives around or in the water and a dozen feet up trees is on their menu hope the antis who set out to release from farms feel proud of their achievement 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 22,069 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Strange thing is I've bolted a few mink, you would think they would kill a ferret or at least stand their ground. Nearly dived on the first one I bolted thought it was a black rabbit, thank god I didn't. The JR's killed a couple in little streams over the years. They slept in the shed for two weeks after they where stinking and you can't get it off. Cheers Arry Edited December 16, 2019 by Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lenmcharristar 9,820 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) There’s a family of otters on our river now and one night walking the dog had a shine round the local lake and thought a fox was on the island as the water is only about 1.5 foot deep so started calling and it came in, to my surprise it was a huge dog otter the c**t was in hammering the roach shoals. Another time we were pike fishing and a mink comes out of the weeds and nicks an eel from our bait bag the cheeky b*****d, next time I took the terrier but he never showed, the we mink was chasing the fowl in the cat tails Edited December 17, 2019 by Lenmcharristar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
