Stoat
About stoat hunting
The stoat is a small, agile predator that is mostly hunted with traps. It is difficult to shoot due to its fast, unpredictable movements.
Trapping is the most common method. Kill traps are set along stone walls, in rocky terrain, and along known travel routes.
The stoat in its winter coat (ermine) has historically been highly sought after in the fur industry.
