mike barclay 0 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Put my polecat jill down a three hole warren today and she backed out thirty seconds later tail all fluffed followed by a stoat which leaped a foot in the air and shot down one of the other holes in the same warren. The stoat beat me to it iv been watchin the warren for two weeks and there was fresh signs of digging there yesterday. Quote Link to post

rossi_j 99 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Sounds more like your fert got bolted and the stoat went back to work , must have been interesting to watch all the same I never seem to have a camera hand when things like that happen, that would have made a good photo.

jocky 198 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 i bolted a stoat once, then it worked its way down hedge row bolting all the rabbits out the rest of the holes. that was the end of that hedge.. they can soon make them rabbits bolt. Quote Link to post
