Weasel Video

There?s an old trailer house at junkshow that a crew uses to flop in during the show. Some years back we were working on a summer project there and stopped at the trailer to grab some libation. At that time the old used kitchen stove still sat in the corner and during one of the stages of our break mother weasel cane in carrying a mouse for her kits and glared at us a bit perturbed, but undeterred as she continued on to her nest in the old kitchen stove. Seems she was the resident and we were now the interlopers.
 
If you have any chickens left he will be back. My grandsons and I raised a batch of quail a few years ago and one got in there. The wire on the pens was 1 inch by 1/2 inch and it went thru that and killed 40 of them. I was outside later and we had 2 labs, they were very good watch dogs as they watched the weasel go up the corner of the building and inside never said a thing. I got the 22 and took care of mr weasel.
 
(quoted from post at 20:36:16 11/18/17) Never had any experience with weasels - can or do barn cats kill weasels?
I think cats do kill weasels. A few years ago I found a dead one in the barn where the cats live. Funny though, when I had rats the cats never seemed to catch them. Yet they enjoyed eating the rats I trapped.
 
If you scare a weasel it stinks almost as bad as a skunk. I know someone that had one get in their house and someone threw a shoe at it. He said that was the biggest mistake he ever made. It clears out faster from what he said. He ended up using a rat trap in a box
 
I've only seen two weasels in my life. One dead on the side of the road about 15 miles from where I live now bout 35 years ago, and another on the side of the road about 100 yards from the house one evening a few years back.

Some years back we had a neighbor accusing every dog in the neighborhood of killing his chickens. There was no way in the world any of the dogs could have gotten into that pen. To this day I say it was either a weasel or a fox that did it. The only reason I think a fox could have done it is that more than one of the dead chickens were taken, and there was a hole large enough for a small fox, but not any of the dogs around.

Anybody ever see a weasel take the kill or do they normally do as the one in the video and dine on site?
 
Back in the mud 80s when we were still dealers, a weasel moved into our parts dept. My wife and another young farm gal managed the parts. They started bringing food for the critter, and it became real friendly with them.
It would climb up on the parts counter where the register was and they would hand feed it raw hotdogs. It hung around in the store all one winter. They got some interesting comments from some of the customers.

They are a nice clean looking animal but I'm not sure I'd want to get that close to one. We see the occasional mink here. I remember one raiding the chicken house back in the 70s. It had to be taken out.
 
Hi, you can tell a weasel kill. The chicken will have 2 holes oposite on its neck. They will kill barn kittens too, same way. Ed Will Oliver BC
 
Is that a full grown weasel? It doesn't look big enough to kill a rooster. Maybe mom killed the rooster. That's probably why it didn't have much fear; to young. Get a banty rooster. They can really fight!
 
I always heard that it takes a good sized and very hungry cat to tackle a full grown rat. I would like to see the battle!
 
Weasels don't take the prey they usually just eat part and leave the rest. coons will drag off prey and leave a trail of feathers. Dogs usually just want to play with them. Coyotes and foxes will grab and run a ways away and eat them. Skunks and possums Don't usually move them to far from the kill. Minks are just plain killers they won't even eat what they kill. Yes I have had experience with them all eating my chickens LOL
