stealthy1 3,964 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I would have liked to see it with its head intact. Quote Link to post

bignoel 14 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 any chance you put his head back together so we can make up our minds lol lol i would say a large polecat male Quote Link to post
ferret boy charlie 0 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 i think you have shot a ferret mate but why did you shoot down the hole ? what if there were another ferret behind ? Quote Link to post
phil_h 53 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Could have made you a nice hob ferret if you didnt blast it away! Quote Link to post
dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Its a polecat for sure... plenty up my way.... cant be sure from the pic if its a feral ferret or not but if you say it was huge compared to your large hob, id guess its at least part wild polecat, as they get very big. Could have made you a nice hob ferret if you didnt blast it away! Not likely Phil, they dont tame up well.... ive tried in the past, even bred a female of mine with a wild male and the two younguns I kept out of the cross were not too tame and belive me i put the time in with them... time wasted i must add!

Thats no mink mate and I would lean more towards an escape ferret I had some half bred polecats and they were very dark in couler and the hob wich was wild cought was nearly black. The kits I had tamed very well but my mate got 2 off me and his were wild no matter how much he tried mine both died on same day at same time when 7month old think the new nieghbour poisened them he tried with my dogs too (twat).

mackay 3,330 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Quite scary really, someone knocking about with a shotgun who can't differentiate between a ferret and a mink even when it's lain dead in front of him. Quote Link to post
