can you run more than one mink at a time?
Or are they strictly "loners"?
I can visualize you letting 1/2 dozen mink loose at a time along with the dogs.
Critters running everywhere.

Mink are HIGHLY aggressive towards each other, so hunting two or more together is very complicated and potentially dangerous. This video shows more on mink aggression towards their own kind..... https://youtu.be/_HQJKLk9_kc

However having said that, I'm going to try raising a couple together next spring, in hopes of being able to hunt them together.

Interesting to watch but when you calculate in 3 people, two dogs and a mink it is not economically cost effective rodent control.

That looks like a whole lot of fun.


I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

For a lot of my clients its the only one that has really worked. My buddy is just there for the fun. Usually it's just me, my dog, and mink. I make good money doing it, and in the end it costs my clients less than the traditional methods that many times flat don't work.

Happy New Year Joe! Best to you and yours! Awesome video as always! I would love to see your team run sometime- pretty incredible that you have been able to harness those animals abilities, somehow enable them to work together, and then ply them to your objectives. Very cool!
