Not again.... I am so sick of frigging mink!

Just shoot the darn things, Ed.  I am sorry for the damage.  As you know, I have struggled with the same problems, mink vs. chickens is not a fair fight.

Shotguns are good for lots of things, and minks are one of them.  Winter holidays mean 2 weeks of free time for the boy.  Buy his a box of ammo, make him stay up at night, and spotlight-em.  Those big eyes glow in the dark, I assure you.

Trust me, a few have been shotgunned.  I had one once that killed a hen and ran off when I went to close the coop, a little late in the evening.  I went out with the flashlight and .22 and sat in the dark.  I heard it tugging trying to get the hen through the little hole, turned on the light and missed it, off it ran.  Lights off, less than ten minutes, I hear him back again tugging, lights on bang, missed again.  He came back a third time and I smoked him.  The crazy thing was,  there was a slice across his shoulder from one of the other two bullets.   

I almost got one with a big rock one night on the beach, seriously, missed him by an inch with a softball sized rock at about twenty yards.
