    Here's a video I recently made of me lamping bull frogs with my mink Fang. I then showed how to prepare and cooked the frog legs. https://youtu.be/VkXXQsAlom0

    Thanks

    Yep, I used to catch and keep possums as a kid. They were one of the few mammals slow and stupid enough for a small kid to catch LOL

    Lately its been over 100 °F (38 °C) during the day, so lamping crayfish at night has been a nice escape from the heat. Though locating the crayfish with the lamp does increase our catch a little, the mink is fully capable of catching almost as many on her own without the light. By calling my mink to the crayfish we see in the light, we are able to see her chase (when there is a chase) and catch the crayfish, making it much more interesting for us. Otherwise most of the crayfish she catches would be caught in the reeds and hiding under the bank, were we would see little to nothing of the ordeal

    Me too! I don't know why, but I get a lot of joy just watching my mink swim around underwater looking for stuff. It's so simple, I mean all she's doing is swimming, but for some reason it is so memorizing.

    Here's a cute little video of my mink Fang fishing while my little girl Olive plays around in the water.

    Yeah, if you make it out here I can hook you up with some terrier hunts with some local buddies, in addition to the hunting I do with my animals. I've got a couple different local friends who hunt coon, fox, and sometimes badger and rock chucks (our local marmot spices similar to a woodchuck). I also have LOTS of falconry connections if you're interested in falconry. Just let me know, we'll have some fun!

    I'm not sure if you saw it, but I showed some pictures and gave a more detailed answer to your question on the bottom of the page in this post... http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/370738-dog-and-mink-tag-team-a-muskrat/

    I don't plan on doing any videos on raccoons as it is mostly just fight, and little to no chase. Either the dog locates the raccoon with it's nose and you don't see anything until you find the dog on the coon, or you lamp a coon in a field and the dog runs out and grabs it. With all the animal activist hype flying around about hunting with dogs, I'd rather not add more fuel to the fire with posting controversial videos. With rabbits, hares, and foxes however, I am hoping to get some good videos of that. I just haven't made any videos worth posting yet. We haven't hunted any foxes yet, but plan

    It really is. It's a lot more sporting when the water is deeper, giving the muskrat a chance to escape. It really is a lot of fun watching the mink and dog work together though. I bet mate. Shame we dont get them in the uk Has the mink or dog ever had any injerys from the rats Yeah, muskrats have a pretty wicked bite! The mink is very good at avoiding injury, but accidents to occasionally happen. The dog gets a few bites every now and then too, and far more often than the mink does. Fortunately for the dog she is 30 times larger than the muskrat, so the bites don't do any serious

    +2 both dog and mink are a credit to you with there training, that dog make good rabbit dog as well , with ferrets hunting in the day and prob lamping , nice type x that Thanks! Yeah she's a pretty useful dog. We haven't done a lot of rabbit hunting or hare coursing yet, but we've done a little here and there. She's real quick right off the start, which makes her quite useful for catching rabbits flushed by the mink. We've also had some good luck hunting jackrabbits (our local species of hare). The weather is too hot right now for coursing in the day, so I'm restricted to lam

    Yeah, I've been on here for years, and post stories and videos from time to time.

    Here's a video I've been excited to post for a long time, but I just haven't gotten around to it. This video shows how my dog Onsa can assist in the hunt when asked to, but stay out of the way until otherwise instructed. She actually catches far more game than I have shown in my videos, it just so happens that I haven't gotten much of it on film. https://youtu.be/PwOXfp7g7aY

    I don't currently have any videos of Onsa on jackrabbits or cottontails, but I do have some pictures I can post. I've been wanting to make a video of her coursing, I just haven't filmed anything that's turned out yet.

    Thanks, will do!
