Where's Ken? I think we have a lawsuit here. Vigilante justice based on purely circumstantial evidence. I'm thinking wrongful death, loss of income, mental anguish to family. Oh the humanity! ... or in this case ... Oh the minkanity!

[randyt]

ermine, yes mental anguish. I pulled a hamstring chasing this little SOB the other day. The dog is all worked up too.

Congratulations! Sorry about your chickens, though. Good to hear you finally got the culprit!

i lost 6 of my turkeys bourbon reds and a narragansette. to my guess is something like that cause it slipped thru a 4in hole in the
chicken wire. way to go.

I would ask that my client be referred to as MISTER Ermine.

Nice catch...they are sneaky little bass turds.

DW decorated her one of her buck skin dress with several ermine hides in the past......
She likes to call them "vermin".......and she is pretty much correct.

FYI, for those that don't know
Ermine=Winter weasel

I saw one of those in my yard a few years ago. Those suckers are FAST. I thought it would go for my chickens, but never did.

I could tell ya about a homemade trap....but it's illegal.....so I won't.

[crashdive123]

Stupid ermine. It should have known better than to pick on the home of a trapper.

That's not a domestic ferret??

[hunter63]

Involves a 1" hole in a tree 2 or 3" deep....have seen them on pines......
Hamburger or bacon stuffed into hole, and left to kinda rot.

4 large spikes or deck screws put in at an angle into hole...one on each side/top and bottom......Sort of a >O<...with the 4 points about 1/2 inch apart close to the hamburger/bacon.

Animal smells the rancid meat...sticks head in, and get the "points"s behind the head and can't get out......

....Or so I've heard.....

[randyt]

thanks Hunter, I have seen that one, the way I've seen it was to catch critters by the foot.
