| | | should I tell? Having just had a near miss in my new car  ,with a deer, I was very cautious as I approached another deer hotspot
There in the road were two roadkill Mink,young ones,and on the opposite verge an
adult they were on a heading for a local fishing lake I was wondering should I say
anything or not? I think I ought to

| | | Re: should I tell? nightshade, having just sold a trout fishery which i ran for 3 yrs i would say that the owners would be very grateful if you told them, Mink can do a tremendous amount of damage to a fishery.
i personally did not have a Mink problem at my fishery as i had Otters which kill Mink and also only kill fish when they need to, mind you they also kill ducklings etc and jump on frogs to extract the spawn. (they ain't the cute cuddly creatures some would like to believe, but i still love them  ) |

| | | Re: should I tell? Yes defiantly tell someone, the wildlife trust or any other local wildlife organisation. Even if they are already aware it won't do any harm.
