When I was a kid, my father took us to work in his apartments from the time we could tell a hammer from a nail. Your kids show that you have worked with them and given them tasks that give them confidence and patience with adults and the animals. You two have gotta be doing a lot of things right. Rascal will soon be a great hunter.

I'm so proud of Rascal! He did awesome! I feel like after this hunt he got the consept of you guiding him. I'm excited to see how he does next time 😊.

[@MooreArts-Crafts-and-Pets]

Same here, Maggie! He's doing so well! Reminds me so much of Boon when he began reacting to the calls and stone throws. Little Olive is become one HECK of a mink trainer!

[@LosRiji]

What an Amazing furpedo.

[@heroesytumbas]

Love how he suddenly came out from the murky water to intercept the muskrat!

[@chimpinabowtie6913]

Polarised sunglasses and camera filters would help a lot with following critters underwater.

[@DandelyonDawn]

These are so fun to watch.. it's so cute the way the girls are involved, learning to handle the mink.

[@kimlindseyOH]

Wow! Great job Rascal! It's like he was thinking "That muskrat is MINE!" He kept at it and kept following the muskrat - especially downstream so that the "scent" would be flowing toward him in the water so he could track his prey. So proud of him! and of Olive - her first mink!

[@HarbDeaf]

Born to be in water. I suspect best swimming mink ive seen. Rascal looks really comfotable

[@kmba-9197]

10:24 lmao I love that little dive he did that was so funny. It was perfectly filmed.

[@tmontes1974]

Great video, enjoyed him rolling down the hill with the death grip. Learning day for everyone 😊

[@diegodeath88]

[@jacquifullerton488]

Well done Rascal, and Joe for all the hard work in training Rascal. Sending love to all minks, Dogs and Family. Sending love, from, Jacqui, Perth, Western Australia. PS. I had my birthday last Wednesday 24th of January.

[@juliederry3719]

Wow Rascal certainly wasn’t letting go of that muskrat was he, I’m so glad he got one Joseph, is it hard to train mink? I think it’s great that they react just like your dogs when you call them, love how Rascal responded to you, lovely to see the family out again with you too, tfs Julie 🇬🇧

[@357smallblock]

10:20 probs my fav just looks around then ploops in

[@865style]

I cant recall ever seeing a mink let go and then swim/ run upwards to cut off the muskrat like that. It seemed as if he realized that he needed to let go so he could get a better position on the rat in his next bite. Have you seen that?

[@Schlummerfee94]

Minks are born for this... ❤ Absolutly fantastic!

[@LanaLaughsRealLoud]

Fascinating, we'll see the Mink gradually improve over it's training exercises. Just keep on working the Mink out and maybe, just maybe, you'll have another great ratter in a Mink. ❤😊

[@StrawberrySunday212]

Beautiful little animals. Reminds me so much of my pet ferrets I had. Sending good wishes from Scotland, UK

[@pelletandferretpestcontrol7367]

Well done olive you have a brilliant little rascal what a mink

[@eatwhatukiii2532]

That’s awesome that this technology now exists in small enough instruments that your minks can wear it. It might have prevented your losses in the past (I remember your stories). It’s great work you and your animals do and it’s so much better for the local wildlife to do precise pest control this way, rather than trapping or using poisons that can affect unintended species.

[@vwvw4]

Why am I compelled to read that title in Elmer Fudd's voice? Great video of what's becoming a family sport. Rascal's a brilliant mink, love his Michael Phelp's dive off the rock near 10:26 of the video.

It looks like at first, Rascal wasn't really paying attention, but from the moment he got his paws on the muskrat, it was serious business !

[@DonnaKnower_sez]

A polarized filter for the camera would be a fantastic help for your viewers. I use polarized sunglasses when bobber fishing so I can see the bobber in the glare of the light on the water 😉❤ I enjoy your videos and the progress being made 😁!

[@DonCarlione973]

Damn bro, where do you live? Lol, it's gorgeous over there 👍🏼 A mink for a pet? That's friggin cool! Lol they're cute, kinda look like a mix of an otter and maybe a ferret.

[@rimfire2642]

I've wondered how hunting with Joe (and others) changes the minks hunting habits? I get Joe and others help guide the mink using the stones and calls and that sort of thing. But when it comes to the mink taking the prey down, is this just as it would happen "in the wild"? Or does hunting with Joe bolster the minks confidence to take prey down, or is there basically no difference when it comes to that part of the hunt?

[@annettebischoff9715]

[@loribryant884]

[@T.Antonis]

Mister Joseph i am huge fan 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Amazing hunt for one more time 👌🏻❤️👍🏻 Please answer my question 🙏🏻🙏🏻 How high and how low temperature can survive a American Mink?

[@JosephCartertheMinkMan]

Up in Alaska mink live in -50 F and down in Louisiana they live in over 100 F. They just need enough shelter to get out of the wind and the wet in the winter, and cool water to swim in and shade in the summer.

[@T.Antonis]

​@@JosephCartertheMinkMan Wow 🤯 Is a very hardy predator 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for your help and information 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@JosephCartertheMinkMan]

Do realize though that without shelter they will get sick in the winter and over heat in the summer. So they can't survive these temperatures without shelter or water to cool off in during the heat.

[@T.Antonis]

​@@JosephCartertheMinkMan of course I asked because I had a question about how the American mink escapees from fur farms managed to live here in Greece and triumph in such a different environment from their homeland... Now I know why 😅 of course, here in Greece I don't think they give us permission to keep minks as pets... Only ferrets... so unfortunately I won't be able to keep one... however, if it was allowed I would do it and of course I would give it a lot nice cage under my big backyard shed with very good coverage!!! Thanks again for the informations 🙏🏻👍🏻 keep up your great videos we love them so much👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@narcissusnarwhal7141]

Mink Man is mentally alive in world where far too many people are mentally lazy. You can see that from several examples such as when he mentions farmers setting traps and putting down poison for rats for ten years before finally arriving at the conclusion that these might not be working. And perhaps even that rats deserve respect for their intelligence. But if I’ve understood correctly this episode is muskrat hunting whereas the ratting is pest control.
