droid 11 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Be interesting to see what advantages a hybrid has over a normal ferret as far as working goes. Apart from bragging rights of course.... Quote Link to post

trappa 518 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 !!!Feck me!!! You must be doctor dolittle! Youve caught a wild polecat and it is ok to handle! Very interested to read the updates, keep us informed. ps the fenn traps would have killed it, it was probably caught in a live trap. Good luck, trappa Quote Link to post

Guest hpool_hunter Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 whats the chances of it been a * wild polecat* and not just a domesticated ferret which has been lost whilst ferreting ect . but good luck with it Quote Link to post

undisputed 1,664 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'd put money on it being a feral polecat ferret.....no way would you be able to handle or put a collar on a wild one....very difficult to tell wild polecat from a domesticated hybrid....handling aside that is....lol Quote Link to post
higgins 75 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'd put money on it being a feral polecat ferret.....no way would you be able to handle or put a collar on a wild one....very difficult to tell wild polecat from a domesticated hybrid....handling aside that is....lol agree with undisputed,i once caught a very large polecat which must have escaped very shortly before i captured him,and i couldn't get near to him to pick up,i eventually bagged him but he just couldn't be handled,this was probably a domesticated ferret let loose for a short while,i'm sure a genuine 'wild polecat' would be even more hostile than this, Higgins.
