Back it down a notch or two, chief. You've had opportunities to meet some of us in person and haven't. Usually the people talking the trash around here know eachother. There is ALOT of I side jokes around here that come from beyond the keyboard. Carry on but let's stay in our respective lanes.is that Giles?

I wonder if the DNR is allowing any type of population control for this event? 
Some 7 1/2s and a turkey choke would put a bunch of them down quick.
I'm guessing these mink are not indigenous to Ohio. I read several different news reports about this incident, but nowhere does it say what type of mink.

Tuff up a little there buddy, it's not like he brought your mom into it. It's a common joke on the forum regarding you and coyotes, it not just off the forum or an inside joke type thing.

I would be out there putting up the FUR! Look out USA Foxx and Fur I'm getting a coat made!
They're just mink. Just highly bred to be the size of small otter and a variety of colors.I wonder if the DNR is allowing any type of population control for this event?

As for control, theyre more or less fair game under normal hunting/trapping rules though technically you can't shoot mink that aren't in traps.

They are not checking license from what I hear it’s a free for all. I will try to get a few better pictures in the morning.

They should fall under livestock though. I know there are laws about shooting escaped pigs, cows etc. If I remember correctly it's a time based law. Like cows are weeks and pigs are like 24 hours before they're considered feral escapees that can be killed and are no longer someones livestock. I bet there's nothing on the books for mink though.
