and short sightiness ,keep perfectly still and they wont notice you

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

Do they REALLY need trapping?

In a word, yes.

 

Removal at any rate whether by live trapping, killing, teleporting, whatever.

 

Just make sure you don't handle a live one unless you have more fingers than you need.

Two mink stories.

 

On the Upper Medway saw a mink chase and catch a moorhen. When it caught the moorhen, the mink dived into the water with it and held it under till it drowned.

 

Dangerous ? never mind the teeth, watch out for the skunk-like reaction if cornered.

 

We once chased, cornered and killed a mink, using stout sticks. The guy that delivered the killing blow also copped a dose of the scent gland on his jacket.

 

The smell was so bad we wouldn't allow him in the car - so he had to walk home. Lots of washings needed to get rid of the scent, but he made himself a Davy Crockett hat out of the mink's skin.

A mad mink on the Medway made it's home on a prepared angling swim.

 

It had this habit of attacking brolleys!

 

The club advice was to stuff a bait bucket down it's hole to keep him trapped.

 

I was told that mink only live around 2 years, and being fiercely territorial, the primary cause of death for most mink is an encounter with another mink.

(i'v seen a crow land in the water to get a dead fish and struggle to the bank)

They were catching live ones from my garden pond last year.

 

Extra strands of anti-Heron line around the edge stopped them this year.
