socks 32,253 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 i have seen ferrets bolting stoats and weasels with no problems ... if it came to a fight my cash would be on the ferret ..... a wild polecat would be a different story ... i used to ferret a farm in west wales that was over run with polecats and the ferrets would get a pasting every week ... in the end they were starting to refuse to go to ground so i sacked the farm ..... tough fuckers them polecats ...........

pegandgun 52 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Right on there johny.But if you turned the tables round a mink wouldnt enter to a ferret in a blank end iether.I do think that a dog mink would be too much for a ferret though Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 bolted many stoats in the dales and they cannot wait to get away from the ferret. we even blocked therm in from time to time but still they would find an escape route and run....on a different vein, i head shot a weasel last season.....

terry 0 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 bolted a lot of weasels and a few stoats over the years, never had one stand its ground, many years ago the grandfather had wild polecats, he used them to line jills, they were like pitbulls on steriods, poor jills took some beating from them, non of the wild polecats ever became domesticated,they were just for breeding, they had some attitude lol terry Quote Link to post
Guest knocavoeboy Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 cheers lads keep em cumin wats the difference between a dog ferret and a ferret???? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> some people dont use the correct terms for ferrets, me included. i call a female a bitch, jill the proper term i call a male a dog, hob the proper term where they live i call a run, court is the proper term and the young i call cubs, kits is the proper term. also a ferett finder is called a bleeper box in my locality.

mistwalker 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 what would happen if my ferret was to come across a stote or another predator down the hole. im curious because i think my ferret was fighting it did not sound like a rabbit. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If it was one o my ferrets, it'd win - cos it's got any one o' three big hairy-arsed lurchers for back-up :friends: :whistle: :11: Quote Link to post

gnipper 6,509 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Ive bolted stoats a few times but they don't like bolting when they have just dodged four terriers, an old albino jill of mine would never jib and was battered from the rats regular but she jacked on that stoat. Shags i shot a weasel between the eyes last year while it was carrying a vole Quote Link to post
