Joe, do your Mink ever get injured during a hunt? Those Muskrats have nasty claws.

The muskrat claws are dull and harmless. It is there giant knife like teeth that you need to worry about! Mink are somehow expertly skillfull at avoiding any type of serious injury while hunting. They get minor bites every now and then, but I have never had one of my personal Mink receive any serious injuries from their prey. Though having said that, I have friends who's mink have been seriously injured. I've been fortunate so far in all my years it hasn't happened to my mink yet.

@@JosephCartertheMinkMan if I may ask, what is you plan in case one gets hurt? I would think a vet visit for serious injuries (do vets even work on minks?) but what do you do for cuts and bruises? Maybe a future video idea for you could be about addressing hunting injuries. Just an idea.

@@radioactiveslam8352 Every bite I've seen in my mink have been so minor they only medical attention necessary is to just watch that it doesn't get infected. I used to use antibiotic ointment or internal antibiotics, but I've found that they seem to cause more problems than they fix (like stressing out the mink while applying the ointment, or getting diarrhea from the antibiotics). So I have now determined it is best to just keep an eye on the wound and drain any puss if an infection starts. So far since I have started this method of handling things, they have healed up just fine on their own.

The one thing I love more about your channel over the mink, family, and lessons is how for people who are lost in life this shows us how we really need to start thinking outside the box. I mean, your doing something. It may not be your main source of income but it will eventually. But more importantly it's shows people that there is always something new to try and to go out there and take the risk. You were one of the first channels that impacted me in that way. I wanna thank you for that. Regards -Ghst

Thank you Joseph again! I really like this one! Great informational video and I agree with release that Muskrat.

I was wondering the whole time you had it, whether or not you would release it! Kudos to you Joe! It would have been wrong to toy with it before you killed it. You are a good man!!

I was thinking, Man this guy deserves an animal planet show! But then I thought about it, the shows on animal planet nowadays are so filled with fake drama and flashy edits. I think I like your content because it manages to be educational and interesting all on it's own- just from your love of animals and professionalism of your craft. + Cute kid cameos.

The mink kids looked good. Watching Midnight be aware of and work out his advantage was great to watch. I liked when you let the muskrat specimen go at the end. I agree, it just felt right. He paid his dues that day. Thanks for the videos!

Thanks for giving us an up close look at a live muskrat. It was really interesting and they actually looked kinda cute. Much fluffier than expected too.

Anyone else remember when all we had was 3 TV channels, rabbit ear antennas and Mutual of Omaha for wildlife vids. KZread is so much better, thanks to guys like the Mink Man, thanks Joseph ! Hope you are having a great day !

I think this is your best video yet. Very informative and well edited. And, it shows your kind heart! You’re not simply out to kill. There’s a whole bunch of reasons you do what you do as well, and showing this took a lot of effort/editing, but worth it!

Just when I couldn't find anything to watch!! awesome!!

As always very educational, insightful, and entertaining. A truly solid upload from a truly talented guy. Keep up the good work Joseph!

So educational! Your videos take on the quality of those old PBS documentaries showing exotic big predators on the African savannah! Complete with detailed explanations of the habits and diets of both the predator and prey animals. Excellent and informational.

Thanks for letting the last one go. When we're hunting we need to look after our environment and check our greed. Thanks for reminding us.

That 1st muskrat was a kamikaze muskrat they do have some balls even tho they get ended 😂😂

Glad Midnight caught one after all that searching. And thanks for close up view and information on the muskrat, it was really cool .

Midnight is amazing!! He really seems to have a strategy. I know mink are smart but he really makes it apparent in this video

I love watching you interact with your kids you're a wonderful Daddy and I applaud you for teaching them to be bilingual my daughters are Hispanic from the day they were born I told them you always make more money and get a better job if you're bilingual. hack my dog understand Spanish and English lol ✌

I enjoy watching the hunting videos, but I loved watching this episode and have a new found respect you. Your humanity in releasing the 'stressed out' muskrat was wonderful. Thank you!

This was an excellent tutorial on the muskrat. You are a patient thoughtful narrator. Also a great family man too👍💖🌈😀

I just want to say thank you for posting these videos.. I'm trying to decide what I want to do with my life rn and what career path to take and honestly, I'm starting to seriously consider a farm life for myself or a natural form of pest control like you do. I think doing something with animals and people, outdoors hunting things is my dream job. I'm a city girl, born and raised but I crave a farming lifestyle. Your videos are extremely inspirational to me and you have improved so much. Thanks again and btw, please keep it up with the captions and slow motion shots, they are unbelievably useful.

i appreciated the compassion at the end. good on you.

It's so great that the whole family can enjoy the hunt & is encouraged to participate!

I always look forward to watching these videos. It is so cool to see how you solve pest control problems using a natural and humane method, and throughout the entire experience, you have genuine respect for both predator and prey. It's refreshing because you're realistic, logical, and respectful, but you don't cater to the people who complain about animal cruelty and know nothing about animals in the wild, or who humanize animals to the point where they don't understand any natural body language and behavior. Clearly your dogs and mink have the best life possible! Keep up the good work!

really enjoyed the lesson on Muskrat as being a Southern Hemisphere dweller I had no idea about them, what a fascinating and valuable rodent and so big! Happy hunting!

This was a really cool episode. I definitely liked the information you gave us about muskrats.

Honestly dude imma give it to you strait this is a good channel and you seem like such a cool and nice guy keep up the good work 👍👍👍

Lovely educational video, thanks Joe and Maggie!

I’m very impressed with these Mink and the training you’ve done ! Omg I need these Mink to eradicate my rat problem

I’m so pleased you let that little guy go. Made me happy 😊

I like that you have respect for the muskrat, how you don’t view them as meat or nuisances but as another important animal

It was lovely of you, to let him go. Trust me, as you get older you will mellow- and let more and more go, feeling sorry for the little guys.

Some years ago I rescued a Maremma pup from being "disposed" of. He was an outdoor dog and one winter when I went out to feed him he was playing with something in the snow. He'd caught a full grown muskrat! That was his most favorite toy. Best fetch toy ever. I let him have it til the weather got warm and it started to thaw out. Those teeth and claws are no lie.

I rly liked the close ups on the muskrat. Great job

Really cool to see a muskrat up close like that

that little clip of Onsa warmed my heart. I miss her so much.

5:45 the muskrat comes up to you and says, there's a mink after me, human, wouldn't you rather have its hide than mine? But then I saw how fluffy it is when dry. 14:30 and on- love watching Sheri Ni watching you handle the muskrat I'm glad she is showing prey drive but still very respectful. And you let it go and she didn't freak out? Cool

Some of the best footage ever on your channel.

Sherni's nose at 13:54 !!! Amazing!

Thanks Joe, ang Maggie video was so clear.

Thank you for this amazingly informative video Joe, I had no idea before today that I would be so interested in muskrats and the past/present uses of them.

Joe in alternate universe: “hunting mink with muskrats”

That second one was EPIC! It's the first time I've seen a mink understand that the ripples mean a muskrat is swimming. In other videos, the mink seem confused and unaware of where the muskrat is, only finding it if they accidentally bump into it...

Joseph, you are the real deal my friend. I used to Ferret when I lived in the UK and I loved every minute of it. Since moving to the US I don't hunt with ferrets any longer but I watching these awesome animals in the wild. Back in the UK, one of the orchards I used to shoot had a resident weasel! Me and that guy had an understanding, he would flush the rabbits from the warren, you imagine that, a tiny little weasel taking on a rabbit! Anyhow, he would flush and I would shoot the rabbit, leaving it for the weasel to eat. This symbiotic relationship lasted about 2 years until a cat of all things ended the weasels life! Keep up the good work, I love watching your videos and the passion you have for these incredible animals.
