Ideation 8,216 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 If you want a polecat, talk to this lad. If you dont, fu@k off and stop giving him grief. People always say shit like this and it's f*****g retarded, this is an open forum and anything you post, you need to be able to handle whatever comments come your way, if every thread was just a series of 'yer mate i agree', 'nice dog' etc etc, it'd be a pretty wank forum.

scothunter 12,609 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) i seriously doubt they are pure wild poleys.but hey i aint feeding them its up to you.i have had many a heated debate with a few on here when i took on 2 supposedly eu poleys.there were diffrent in nature and character but turned out great workers.despite of what the nay sayers said,who actually have never kept them far less pick one up.oh and i have solely kept polecats fr over 20years Edited May 9, 2011 by scothunter Quote Link to post
ulverston moocher 60 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I have had a couple of first crosses and they were hard work in the beginning but if you treat them right and put the effort in then they can be spot on but you have to handle them loads in the beginning I still have a quarter polecat job and he is great he has just lined 2 pure polecats and s couple of kits will be making there way to me in the future so I'll be posting picks and write ups of there progress and how were getting on. Ps. Good luck with your kits bunny killer if people didn't experiment with such things there wouldn't be ferrets and domestic animals of any sort. Quote Link to post
