Minkenry 1,044 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 We went rat hunting for my birthday on Saturday. Here are some pictures of the hunt! Here are the two terriers that participated in the hunt. The black on on the left is a pure patterdale terrier, and the brownish black dog on the right is half game bred pit bull, half patterdale terrier. Here is my wife Maggie with my buddy Cade's minkenry dog Carl. He is 1/2 boarder collie, 1/4 catahoula leopard hound, 1/4 pharaoh hound. Cade uses him to hunt rats and rabbits along side his mink. and raccoons and wild cats by himself. This dog is almost a year old, and actually killed his first coon just a week ago. He got a 22.5 lb (10.2 kg) boar coon! Here are the three dogs waiting for rats to come popping out. Here we are after the hunt. From left to right is Alex Smith holding my Albino mink Ma'ska, Cade Pocock with his Mahogany doe mink Mhera and his minkenry dog Carl, my beautiful wife Maggie Carter, Joseph Carter (me), and Justin Crowley. Unfortunately our friends Jake Barrowes and Martin Cisar with his terriers, had already left before we could get a picture with them. Here's the video of our mink and dogs hunting rats on Saturday. http://youtu.be/2N91B49pxvg 4 Quote Link to post

jukel123 6,570 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Very interesting. Your mink are a lot tougher than our UK ferrets. Many of our ferrets won't tackle rats, especially if they've been bitten by them in the past. Still can't get my head around the way you train mink. Well done. Some of you American lads are a lot tougher than our Uk lads too. I for one would not dream of picking up a live rat-that goes for a tame one, never mind a wild one. Hate them! Quote Link to post

Here's my wife holding a couple live MUSKRATS after a hunt! Those muskrats bite a heck of a lot harder than silly little brown rats!!! Quote Link to post

philstory 83 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 How come terriers were kept on there leads? Are they not mink/ferret friendly? Collie cross was doing well. Quote Link to post

Collie cross was doing well. Yes, the terriers would have been just as happy to kill the mink as they would the rats. The guy who owned them isn't into mink, and he just wanted to check it out. Normally he hunts raccoons, foxes, and badgers with his terriers, but he was curious about how we hunt with our mink. So we let him come, and tried to find a job for his dogs to do, which ended up being to patrol outside the coop with the dogs on leashes, catching any rats who tried to flee the coop. Their efforts did save us from loosing a couple rats. Edited December 23, 2014 by Minkenry 1 Quote Link to post
General lee 979 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Strange rat hut but you looked like you enjoyed it and I definatley don't touch live rats dirty things can't help but think them terriers was wasted I think they would have done a better job than that collie cross oh and good job with the mink I can see them catching on Quote Link to post
