Thanks!

[@JosephCartertheMinkMan]

Wow!!! Thanks so much!!! 😊

[@nicolewalsh8462]

It's so weird that both boon and boss are gone. I started watching your videos when they were the main characters, very sorry for your loss. Bindi is beautiful

[@WildWestRosie]

I was just trying to recall when Onsa died, because I had been watching for a while when that happened.

[@shize9ine]

@@WildWestRosieor when fang ran off 😢

[@jackspringer9283]

Yes, Fang was the 1st big loss I remember also

[@jackspringer9283]

Washushe also

[@aoifeidingalan394]

@shize9ine Wait- Fang ran off?! The mink?

[@metarugia3981]

13:56 Dunno if anyone else noticed this right here, where Bindi already has a rat in her mouth and within seconds she sees another rat jump out of the tire to her right and immediately drops the one she had and chases after the 2nd one. The more I see Bindi work, the more I'm amazed by her skills, abilities, efficiency and mindset. Bindi is just perfect for this kind of work.

[@wurstelei1356]

The dog called Boss, that died a while ago did that too

[@chris420x]

@@wurstelei1356 bindi learnt from the best. RIP Boss Man!

[@TheLindagdetroit]

There's another moment where Bindi was acting as backup, and as soon as the other dog had control of the rat she spun & went back to watch for more rats.

[@danielstellmon5330]

Bindi always strikes me as the smartest and physically most well rounded.

[@The_Marquis_Of_Death]

Tag is such a natural at ratting. I like how she searches spots where the other dogs aren't and is coming up successful.

[@metarugia3981]

13:32 Now that's what you call a smart thinking dog in Bindi, it never gets old watching her work. She chases after the rat with Leia, but as soon as she sees that Leia has the rat in her mouth, Bindi immediately does a 180 and returns to Joe to help out. Boss(RIP) used to display this same trait, and I guess Bindi was the only one to learn from him. This is a very rare trait in a hunting dog and Joe should be blessed to have Bindi.

[@randompersonnobodyknowsroa7116]

minor correction: its 180, not 360. if it was a 360 she would have gone in a circle an be facing the same direction.

[@metarugia3981]

@@randompersonnobodyknowsroa7116 Thanks for the correction, edited.👍

[@smelma]

Yeah back in the day Boss would get unreal combos. Maybe Bindi will one day get there but Boss was by far the best at getting 2,3,4+ rats in the blink of an eye. He took it personally.

[@TheLindagdetroit]

I replayed this section, too!

[@Poatan.chama.]

Bindi 2 years old already 😰 time goes fast.

[@imdrunkmk427]

never see a happier, healthier doggo than a working one. Great workout for them, stimulation with the commands and ofc mink training. And they're doing what they're bred for, amazing!

[@ariadneferreira2252]

Agree, 100%! ❤

[@kimlindseyOH]

Tag is coming along for sure, but LOL sometimes she acts like a cat! playing with its prey! Tag, you are a dog!😂 Nice to see this property getting cleaned up. Something like that will take a lot of time and effort. Thanks for sharing your part of the process with us, Joe!

[@exidy-yt]

Tag just dosent want to deal with Gypsy constantly trying to steal her kills is all.

[@childofcascadia]

@kimlindseyOH Shes still a pup. A teenager dog, basically. I think she'll get better and more serious as she gets older. Even Bindi messed around as a pup, now shes up there was boss as the best ratting dog.

[@KubanKevin]

Now I understand why cats love the “pspspspsps” sound

[@DinDooIt]

I could never understand how some farmers could let their property become so full of trash, It's unsanitary, dangerous and is a threat to the animals to have so much trash around. My family and I own and operate three large farms and none of them ever look anything like this guys farm, disgusting to say the least. Great job on the rat removal, Joe and crew.

[@givmi_more_w9251]

At least now it is getting cleaned up. There's hope it gets better. But even as a non-farmer I cannot help but wonder. I know a farm is not a museum, there will be junk, but there sure is almost always a way to contain junk until you ship it off or have someone pick it up?

[@Tikitikihaha]

Glad you have time to run to the dump all the time or make enough money to have people come get it. We usually only have time to clean in the winter and by then it's a slow process because everything is covered in a foot of snow. Most farms, if not all farms I know of have a trailer or designated 'junk' spot. We don't all have the money to always buy new either so we go to that junk spot to find a crooked board or junk piece of tin that we need for something.

[@Rosebloom11]

And they wonder why they have rats.😂

[@metarugia3981]

Can always count on Bindi, Leia and Gypsy to get the job done in these ratting hunts(RIP Boss). Tag on the other hand, still needs a lot of work and much to learn. Tag's problem is that she is not focused on the task at hand, thinks what they're doing is all just a game, as is evident in her goofy running around and demeanour. Her prey drive is inconsistent, and when she does catch a rat, she doesn't dispatch it right away like as if she's playing with it, or in fear of getting bitten. In terms of her potential, we'll have to wait and see in the coming year as she gets more ratting time under her belt and experience.

[@eddyrourke5514]

Was about to post something similar to this. Tag really needs to step up and soon.

[@user-rd9bn3ue9y]

She’s just a pup. She’s taking her rats away to stop the other dogs taking them off her. She improves in every video.

[@blazertundra]

I wasn't sure if it was just me seeing Joe spoiled with Bindi or if Tag really is lagging behind in her work drive. Hopefully, she will mature in time. I know the bigger dogs do take longer to "grow a brain" and act their age compared to small medium sized ones.

[@aidandeuxdelosangeles8101]

It's not the same now that boss is gone. R.I.P

[@metarugia3981]

"It's not the same now that boss is gone. R.I.P" Our loved ones(dogs included) will come and go, but their memories will stay with us until we pass. R.I.P Boss.

[@freddabarber84]

Boss is truly missed! Tag have a long way to go.

[@ijlayugan4149]

Joe training a badger for ratting would be crazy yet unsurprising lol

[@Rolandbadger]

Badgers are smart- A badger just might turn out to be one hell of a ratting hunter.

[@flatblack39]

I think a pig might make a good ratter also. Pigs snouts are amazing digging instruments!

[@kitkatboard]

17:44 I'm 5'00" and let me tell you, I felt Leia's attempt to jump 😂

[@kittyfox7]

I love how your dogs don’t get distracted by anything. They are so smart and agile! I’ve been watching a while and it’s so cool to see your minks work along with your dogs!

[@eddyrourke5514]

Bindi never ceases to amaze me, never did I think a pit bull was such a good working dog!

[@ijlayugan4149]

Joe's poses with the dead rats at the end are always so funny to me

[@Hugllls1971]

Tag is preoccupied with keeping that rats from the terriers!

[@WildWestRosie]

Bindi: I'm gonna follow Leia just in case it gets away from her. Also Bindi: Whups, Leia has that one, better get back to business!

[@bw_merlin]

Leia really seems to be trying step into Boss's paw prints chasing down a lot of runners and didn't seem to play with the rats as much as she appears to have done in the past.

[@PSkullKidDnazen]

"paint me like one of your french hunters"

[@yougottabekiddiing]

I’m glad to see this - I’ve often thought that the long term answer is for the owners of the properties to clean them up!

Tag is being cute by taking the rat away to kill it by herself as gypsy is always interfering she is still a pup in training she will soon learn 😂love watching the dogs at work they are a great team you should be very proud of them Joseph All the best from Glasgow Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@metarugia3981]

"Tag is being cute by taking the rat away to kill it by herself" That's not "cute" at all but a waste of time and an annoyance, as is evidenced by Joe's comment at the end of this vid. An inefficient dog on a team of working dogs is what's called a weak link, and if Tag doesn't learn from and grow out of that behavior, I can guarantee we won't be seeing her on Joe's roster.

[@softsounds8453]

@@metarugia3981 Yeah it doesn't help that she gets chased by the little dogs. I think them trying to take the rat out her mouth is why she keeps running off. Her real problem is that she keeps playing with the rats by throwing them around and she has lost several that way already

[@johnirvine3214]

Tag, is going to take load of bites before she learns the Crunch.😀👍

[@r.m.m.1706]

"NEED a Badger." OK, I'm not doubting you, but I am slightly skeptical. From what I've already seen you do. Dogs hunting wth Mink, & NOT goin after the Mink, or harming them by mistake, is pretty amazing. So, when you get, & then train a Badger........ I'm old, retired Military, been all over this Planet, & have seen A LOT of things. But if you train a Badger to hunt rats etc. next to/with Dogs & maybe Mink, that will be high on the list of CRAZY SH!T I have seen!! Good luck!! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@exidy-yt]

I think Bindi had herself a little snack around the 10-min mark! Such a great dog. They all are. Boss can never be replaced but I see Bindi leading the pack soon if she dosen't already. She remembers that pulling up lumber flushes rats! She was great on top of that cart rattling the timbers and scaring out a good dozen rats there alone.

[@kerrimarple871]

they way he has trained his dogs in amazing and all of them are so eager to work you can tell how much these dogs love what they do. ❤

[@karenpaxton]

I adopted a lurcher identical to Dutchess, this year. He's a bright boy and he'd make an amazing ratter considering how he kilks his toys,!

Interesting seeing tag with the tire rats, the first ome hes clearly trying to grab the butt/tail and leia comes and takes it from him and then the second one he didnt even have a chance to chase it so when the third one came he grabbed it by its back as fast as he could instead of running around with it.

[@bionicman6969]

Hello! big fan of your work!. I have a question though, how do you know if all rats have been exterminated? how do you deal with the remaining nests?

[@raroraroraroo9675]

Tag will improve, but she has really big shoes to fill. Boss was at a completely different level. Say Tag is a 5 out of 10 right now and she can get to a 7. But Boss was at a 9. Sherni was up there to, also a 9. A combination of Sherni and Boss would have been a 10.

[@debbielowe3355]

[@user-ps1fo1vb9s]

you would not think rats would hang out on the trailer

[@anna9072]

Tag is getting more intense and focused every episode. Starting out she seemed kind of laid back and casual but she’s really shaping up. Lovely to see all the dogs having such a great time doing their jobs.

[@redeyesb.dragonite8562]

I'm just seeing these videos, does anyone know the answer to a couple questions I have? Do the dogs get training specifically on the killing part? I've noticed they chomp down on the head pretty quickly after getting the rat, is that trained or just instinct? Is there ever concern about the rats hurting the dogs? When the rats are held onto you can see them kinda fighting back, so I'd wonder if there was a chance of them scratching the dogs eye or giving a nasty bite somewhere Also I've noticed you have some mix in your dog breeds, are there just groups of dogs where one is as good as the other for this? Or are some breeds better at specific things so you have a couple?

[@chickenmonger123]

Tag is really fast. That bodes well.

[@chubbrock659]

She’ll be tough when she outgrows the puppy clumsiness

[@Vanadisir]

Tag is catching on...

[@jackspringer9283]

13:55÷ Bindi's double when the 2nd was thinking to hide up the camera's pants leg😅

[@wagstag89]

I think Tag is coming along nicely with each video. Definitely getting more involved in finding the rats and more confident dispatching them. I think once she gets really good at both she'll stay closer to the action. She's still in the puppy stage and figuring it all out. I remember watching Gypsy figure things out and now she's my favorite. Reminds of a rat terrier I used to hunt with that absolutely hated squirrels

[@Darkmoonrose888]

I think if Sherni or Boss were still around it would be a bit easier for Tag. Right now you can kind of see she is trying to copy what the smaller dogs are doing sometimes and it just isn't the right role for her size. If the bigger dogs were still around she would have a better 'mentor' dog and would likely better understand what her role is supposed to be. Honestly it is a bit frustrating because he explained and showsd a lot of how he trained Bindi but in the Tag training update he said that he had mostly been just letting her learn on the job, given that circumstance it seems like she would have more 'figuring out' to do in the field. I defintely understand not having the same amount of time available, but she seems to be doing great regardless.
