Congratulations. Glad you got him (for the chickens sake). Hope it was a loner.

if the trap is in the sun he is liable to be dead by the time you get home, if not a pellet gun to the lungs, an easy hole to stitch

Neighbor poured some water on him this morning around 9 and put a piece of plywood over to shade.

Plot twist, the mink actually got ahold of OPs shotgun while he was passed out in the bamboo and is forcing him to post that it’s all over. OP, blink twice if you’re in danger

I've heard of being pissed before, but I've never heard of anyone being so pissed that they'd kill a mink then frick it.


Seriously, please have your taxidermist pose it into something OB worthy. And then post pics... we haven't had a good taxidermy story in a while, and the way this thread started, there's some good promise to laughs here.

That works! I was thinking something like ole mink with a xenon-bobcat smirk on his face while laid back on a mini barco-lounger next to one of the dead chickens, but that may a bit overboard.


ETA: I know gofundme's are frowned upon here... but i'd be willing to pitch in $20 for you to get that thing stuffed. I spent at least $20 of my time in this thread.

None of my business, but any kinda predator will tear open that chicken wire to get in. Might try a layer of hardware cloth around the bottom.

That possum is in the damn ditch, Im not putting that nasty fkr in my freezer

We use to have one as a pet in high school, talk about a nasty animal. He dug his way up thru the bottom of our couch one day, all he would do is hiss and drool. And there was no way in hell I was stickin my arm in that hole to grab him

Don't try skinning it yourself unless you are experienced. My mom cussed like heck the first time that I stuck the scent gland while skinning one in the basement.

Take it to the taxidermist whole and let them do the job correctly.
