Corky(amateur) 0 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 HI all thought you'd appreciate hearing about this. was out the other day doing a bit of pest control ferreting in a 6 foot wide headge and the shotgun, took the hob because he's great for coming back [bANNED TEXT] you call him and bushing like a terrier too! anyway, he went down bolted a rabbit and shotgun took it. goes down another in same warren, and he's down there for 5 min or so, so out comes MK3 get within 4 foot and can hear this squelin and hissin. next thing my ferret is dragging something out the hole(presumed rabbit as he does this often) anyway just about to reach in when he lets go and goes bak hissing, grabbed him, went to look down the hole and the fekin great Mink is snarlin back at me. i've got the ferret in one hand and the shotgun in the other. So my only option was the terminater pose with 30 inch semi auto 12G. "you feelin lucky......Mink?!" all i'll say is it was twitchin even after the shot! termamink! dragged it out and this thing weighed 3 x what my big hob does, it was muscly as feck and well fed you can see the size with my hand next to it Quote Link to post
