[quote=āSHANNONSIDER**ā]They are hardy boyos alright, they are fearless. Iām told they are one of the few lads who will take on a mink if they come across one.
I wish Pukeās dog all the best.[/quote]
thanks SS**, it means a lotā¦I only saw the creature fleetingly but the lad with me would know his stuff and was 99% sure it was a pinemartin, he was big enough the fuckerā¦
He informs me that they are vicious enough fuckers alright and would have no problem going through 3/4 inch ply to get into a chicken coopā¦

Any update on Lohanās condition Puke?
I was toiling manfully this afternoon to raise funds for his vetinary bills by standing outside the Railway Hotel shaking a bucket with loose change at passers-by. What i have will be put in the fund.

No, we had to get the dog out of there and seek medical attention ASAPā¦Donāt know about hunting the fucker, he would be hard to find up in the Cratloe hills, wouldnāt like to be taking him on in his own backward
Note to all trappers. Wildlife Ireland recommends that trapped mink are best dispatched by a single air rifle pellet to the head once trapped. This prevents damage to the cage which would occur if you blast the mink with a shotgun. Lethal injection is also ruled out as the fcukers would eat the hand off you trying to subdue them.
Full guide to the mink menace in Ireland is outlined here.
Really? I suppose thatās guilt for you. Their creepy friends caused this menace in the first place by āliberatingā these killers on the wildlife of Ireland.
The most tragic thing I find with this is the effect theyāve had on foxes in some parts of the country. These things are killers on a whole different level to the poor fox, with the result being starving fox cubs and declining populations. I remember myself and the younger brother came across three orphaned and obviously starving fox cubs when we were younger and itās an awful sight.
Have seen a few emaciated cubs around over the last few years alright, not sure if the mink is totally to blame but it could be. Probably not enough control of foxes around at the moment either. The moor hens are getting an awful doing from mink if numbers around us are anything to go by.
I failed to catch anything in my mink trap, the fuckers, but Iāve since figured out in was a neighbours dog that was doing the damage.
The only population on the increase around my area are the hares. Youād never have seen many up my road but the past year Iād rise one nearly everytime I went for a walk with the dog.
