 :'(  Oh no that's awful!


If you can bear to do so, bait the traps with the quail. The little sods should come back looking as you know and they won't be suspicious of quail ATM

We'll turn the dust to soil,
Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.


Bring the peace back

Terrible news Bert and I really feel for you. Bloody animal rights brigade have a lot to answer for. Hope you catch it and make some warm gloves for Winter!

My heart goes out to you
We had a mink around here 3 years ago and it was killing the birds like there was no tomorrow  :'(
we then had a flood and either it moved on or hopefully it drowned as it never came back

It's a sickening sight I know. Put a live trap down, baited with a chicken wing or something then dispatch the mink as you see fit. Shooting is the most humane way.
