How is that mink at hunting up in trees?

 

This particular mink has never had the opportunity to hunt in trees. He climbs trees sometimes,

 

 

 

but he's never had any prey try to escape him up into the trees. I have had other mink capture brown rats in the trees, and I have a friend who tells me his mink chased a grey squirrel 12 feet up into a tree, and captured it. Mink can climb, but not near as good as squirrels, so it surprises me that they can capture a squirrel in it's own element. I've read about a people seeing wild mink catch squirrels in the trees, but I've never seen a mink do much more than catch a rat in the trees, which doesn't COME ANYWHERE CLOSE to climbing like a squirrel!

Superb ! I don't think you get the credit you deserve that mink is better recall and retrieving than some bloody dogs .

Brilliant bit of filming there And to see the mink coming to call, almost working as a team: hats off to your dedication and ability to train such a wild animal.
