Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Got to be one of the most talented predator trainers of his era . Used to be on here until he realised 3/4 of you don’t hunt anything ,just talk about it . 7 3 Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Some of his vid titles are click bait like the infestation bit but in the main his vids are good action predator on prey . Quote Link to post
EDDIE B 3,166 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 His video's make great viewing. I think he's takin on board some of the traditional methods used over this side of the waters, and combined them with his mink hunting. Ferrets have been used in a similar fashion, but not every ferret will tackle rats. Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Yes mate your right .Had a decent strain of ratting ferrets years ago from local lad .Before that they were very hit and miss .Mink seem turbo charged up to a ferret though even when the bloods up . Some of his methods are strange but you have to hand it to him for training mink and the lizard lizard . 1 Quote Link to post

Maybe that predatory instinct to keep killing when prey is plentiful, gives the mink the upper hand compared to a ferret. Same as when in a hen house. Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Yep agreed Eddie .Im fascinated by mustelids ,always have been .Raised a mink years ago until someone let it out along with the ferrets it lived with .Got all ferts back but not the mink . Mate raised a stoat which was very tame ,actively sought human contact and would sleep on anyone’s lap .Years ago never thought to take pics which I guess is the case for many my age .Nowadays they take pics of the tea they are about to eat . Used to be a women next village to ours that kept mink as pets and a badger but she was a bit eccentric looking back and pulled faces at us kids lol. Would of loved an otter back in the day bu5 opportunity never arose . 1 Quote Link to post

SINDASOX 255 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Watched a good few of his videos where he's ratting, the mad f****r likes to catch them himself. His missus was lying down in one video filming rats bolting from under a trough virtually inches from it. Why does he take the pinkies and young rats still alive home with him, to grow on and then use as food for his mink and friends reptiles possibly. SINDASOX 1 Quote Link to post

I knew a bloke (Can't put a name to him now) had a pet weasel. Fancied one myself, at one point. Set a trap for one and asked my mate to keep an eye on it for me as I was to be away for a couple of days. Came back and the poor weasel was dead in the trap. He hadn't been near it. He actually had to man up and admit to me that he thought my assertion that 'This tiny break, in acres and acres of land, was The spot for a weasel. And I'd have him.' was pure fantasy. Thanks a lot, Bill. I'm also getting shown a clip, on the tube, of a weasel on an office desk? Must actually look at that, some time. Quote Link to post
