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 was so proud to hear from that lady that Olive was teaching her about mink 😊❤😊❤
@@JosephCartertheMinkMan The greatest rewards benefit our souls.
What an Amazing furpedo.
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 😊.
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!
Love how he suddenly came out from the murky water to intercept the muskrat!
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!
Polarised sunglasses and camera filters would help a lot with following critters underwater.
These are so fun to watch.. it's so cute the way the girls are involved, learning to handle the mink.
Born to be in water. I suspect best swimming mink ive seen. Rascal looks really comfotable
Great video, enjoyed him rolling down the hill with the death grip. Learning day for everyone 😊
Love those kind the videos. Rascal is starting to understand his job 😊
10:24 lmao I love that little dive he did that was so funny. It was perfectly filmed.
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 🇬🇧
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.
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?
I love the lady who was so impressed with your work. It is indeed very impressive what you do
Thank you so much 😀
Man I don’t know how I stumbled upon this channel but the content is amazing.
Educational too.
Thanks!
Go back and watch the earlier videos, they are great.
I love the intro of the mountains in the back ground im guessing south of SLC. I grew up in Layton and now live in Seattle so its nice to see a little bit of home.
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. ❤😊
10:20 probs my fav just looks around then ploops in
Minks are born for this... ❤
Absolutly fantastic!
Beautiful little animals. Reminds me so much of my pet ferrets I had. Sending good wishes from Scotland, UK
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.
Oh man, PETA on high alert. 😂
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.
Man! It is so good to see him get rith on that AND go back and finish it! He reacted wonderfully, quickly and accurately to your calls. He is reminding me so much of Boon. So happy for you all. Great job training, Olive!! 😊
Rascal posted up on that rock when he lost the muskrat one time. He wasn't finished hunting. Such a good boy. Working as a team does take training and trust, he may be a good hunter after all
The high angle view into the water was soooooo good this time, u should try using a drone to deal with water reflections. 👍🤔
Well done olive you have a brilliant little rascal what a mink
I really enjoyed this video Joe. I love watching the training process and how the experience of the mink working together with you unfolds. Keep up the great work mate.
Joseph , Rascal did awesome he is coming along real good . Hey I ordered a T-Shirt last night for my Birthday next month.
Happy Birthday!
@@JosephCartertheMinkMan Awe Thank You Joseph you are so sweet
Thank you for sharing Joseph & Family, smashing. 🙏🙏❤❤🐶🐶
Put the box between the mink and the creek so they can only roll towards the box, versus the creek!
Your the man bro. Love all your videos. God bless you and your beautiful family brotha❤
Bro that's huge progress 👏 he's very switched on,,, great job team 👏 👍🏻
I need that tracker for my Alzheimers roomate! The Apple tag tracker is useless!
Very cool, as always thank you for the upload!
Rascal is too cute!!!
Brother, I love your channel! I recently found it and i really enjoyed your videos! If i'll be bored I know i should watch more of your vids!
U could when he understood. He went into full hunt mode and was a lot more agressive looking for it.
Good job Rascal! Once it clicked for him he really sent it! Looking forward to more from him.
Him getting on land and running to cut him off was a pretty slick move! LFG Rascal
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 !
Wow. that was a fight!
Great job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good Job Rascal!
Good job 👏 👍
Rascal is just sooo cute!!!!
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 😁!
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?
Rascal is like a pittbull !
Great vid
tnx for the video
Great video 👍👍
Thank you 👍
That mink had him in the death grip lol
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.
On top of natural control method for the park, the visitors to park get entertainment from watching you work. Those people who hired you for the job made a great decision.
Sick video!
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?
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.
@@JosephCartertheMinkMan
Wow 🤯
Is a very hardy predator 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for your help and information 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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.
@@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👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Neat
Sick
Personally that is just like watching somebody that does falconry anybody that can take an animal and make it hunt for them that's badass I'm sorry
Good work mink. Joe had the go pro on his person but no footage from it?
None of it was worth using.
@@JosephCartertheMinkMan got ya
hey man im super hyped about these badger training experiments whats up with these ??
Me too! I'm hoping we can get started soon! I'll let you guys know as soon as I have an update!
We've been seeing a lot of Rascal. Where's Sherlock?
Sherlock will be in the next video for next week. 😊
Rascal is so cute! Your girls are such sweet girls,what is the lifespan of a mink?
😀😃
ever thought of using fisher cat?
Yes, they sound awesome!
I'm putting you on X
What does that mean?
what does the x mean??
twitter?
Twitter 😂
@@larrycarson6584 alright, so exactly does "Im going to put you on X mean" if not twitter? or are you being some kind of window licking troll?
joe- do you folks still have raptor? haven't seen anything in awhile. i know it does not like cold weather
I posted a couple different videos about Raptor quite a while ago. Here's one of them...
ua-cam.com/video/IOZwCtx3tsg/v-deo.htmlsi=d-bxcwysVZMADhsF
How would he fare against a beaver?
Beavers are way to big!
So how is rascal good with both you and Olive? I thought they could only pair bond with one person
That's the norm but for whatever reason he bonded with us both.
I really enjoy watching your videos.
Been watching them for a while.its a great job yall are doing😊 I would like to share that we are living in last days Hebrews 1:2 Acts 17:30, Acts 17:31. Jesus is coming back
Детям зачем на это смотреть?
UA-cam is dying. X (Twitter) is the future. We can help Minkanry go viral there.
I don't know, I don't use xitter but I've heard from a lot o' people it's not doin' great either
Good job Rascal 👏
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.
