shepp 2,285 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 We had them for a while in East Anglia but they were eradicated back in the 80's. They had escaped from fur farms but established breeding populations. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 The odd few pop up now and again but as shepp said they are likely to be escapees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 After reading about them through early Plummer books i always fancied a go at them. Sadly they all went before i had the chance too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
