He’s clearly compassionate about all animals and recognizes what needs to be done to help keep populations under control.

They protec They attac But most importantly They have muskrat snac

That moment at 13:42 when the muskrat attacks the mink is so telling. The mink is completely unfazed and proceeds to take down the muskrat like a boss.

7:49 "All of the natural Predators of a Mink combined dont kill as many Mink as Mink do killing themselves" Awwww, so cute ... just like Humans 😇

Muskrat families hate it when you use this ONE WEIRD TRICK

Why isn't this on Discovery Channel!! Awesome stuff man!!!

the world needs more people just like you great to see you doing something that amazing

You are the king of transitions, multiple clips hours or months apart that fit together like a puzzle piece.

We know his family is surviving if the zombie apocalypse comes... He has an army of minks to kill the zombies

Joseph, you are one of the most intelligent, informative, and thorough young men I have ever encountered (online, that is). You explain things very well. Lastly, you seem like an incredible dad and your little Olive is adorable. I sincerely wish you all the best.

What I love about you is that you don't make tall claims - you are even aware that you could be applying your own sense of teamwork to two mink attacking the same prey. Very cool, love your level-headedness. You're very clever and doing a great job learning more about minks by sharing it with the world.

Its amazing how joseph has such a scientific approach to his minks. He even avoids biases that most people would incur. E.g. confirmation bias when he says that it may not be cooperation between minks (his desired observation)

This man deserve all the TV money , discovery where you at ??

I bet when you called for Onsa her spirit came running just for old times.

Always a great show Joseph Carter! Your mink behavior theories are probably right. I love how you explain everything!

This guy has given me a new perspective and appreciation for the mink. I had no idea

I like the way you do not pretend to know it all, but share your learning experiences with the viewers. I also like the way that you use these videos to teach, i.e. how muskrats evade, how mink learn, what the tracks of different animals are and how to tell them apart. Keep up the good work.

whilst walking my dog, I witnessed 3 mink chase one rat into a stream . They were definitely working together (unless it's the mother training two babies). Interesting channel.

National Geographic material right here. Great hunting techniques and your explanations are fantastic.

This is truly fascinating,your mink take on muskrats larger than themselves.I have trapped mink and weasels getting into my chicken coop ,I relocated them because they were only doing what is natural to them. Great video !!

I just found Joseph Carter today and I'm hooked. I hate rats and this is so satisfying. 🤣

Joseph, you may look into getting with a University that has a biology department for research like that. My cousing went to Oregon State and majored in zoology and they did studies like that, he worked for the NFS (National Forest Service) tracking invasive species and their effect on native prey, you may be able to find a Student who will be interested in doing thier Master's thesis project on the interaction of wild mink. The improtant factors to consider is how would the study benefit us (humans), and how would any information possibly be used in a practical sense. ... Great videos... I really enjoy your passion and appreciation for all of God's creation. God bless.

13:42 Musk Rat: Attacks Mink Mink: So you have chosen death

That’s amazing, thanks for sharing the info about mink!

When you called Onsa, I just assumed she would run into screen and take out some muskrats. I had completely forgot about what happened to her. Still upset about that. Sorry for your loss. She would have had a blast with that swarm.

I don’t know why KZfaq thought I’d like this video , but god darn it I flipping did.

This world needs more people like Joseph

My girl: What are you watching? Me: Nothing.....

You are the most interesting weird dude I ever seen

Those mink are amazingly trained. They know they they've got it good. The fact they come back proves that. They could easily bolt and survive in the wild if they chose.

That was a really suprizing fact that Mink are solitary! Up on Manatoulin Island in Ontairo I saw 4 Minks playing what looked like peek-a-boo on a dock by the water! Learning this fact I think I was witnessing a family of minks with the siblings all playing togather!!!! that warms my heart and makes that experience twice as special for me!!! I even still have the video of them all playing togather, there some of my absolute favorite animals and I now feel honored to have witnessed that 🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤

I like how he takes his kids, I bet they're learning and have a fun experience

I damn near cried when the subtitles mentioned Onsa. I miss seeing her in your videos ragdolling the rats.

Very nicely done!! Very informative. So refreshing to see a production without a single curse word.

Minks seem like the cutest but most vicious animal. Lol

Your mink are gorgeous! Bright eyes, glossy coats, able to hunt, absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Bruh I got to appreciate how the mink take on muskrats of their size and sometimes bigger while cooperating with each other

Your a blessed man to do what you love, help what you love, learn about what you love, promote what you love and love what you love.

Just keep documenting the life & times of mink. You are very appreciated. Thanx.

That’s super cool. I have never seen a mink in real life but they are cute . Also look like they are aggressive when they need to be !

The way the mink use you for a towel after they get out of the water is just too stinking cute. Lol

Interesting 🤔 you are better than animal planet and well spoken

Im looking forward to see you officially "deploying squadrons of super mink"

Rat: you Cant catch me Mink: Mink Is Being Deployed

No doubt, your minks and dogs love you and thank you for your affection with an optimal performance in the fight against rats and muskrats

I swear, you've been hunting with your adorable minks and good dogs for so long, you got the reflex of catching rats with your bare hands.

Welcome to my world, everything you want is nature, animals and just beautiful landscapes.

“Feed my family” wait hold up

its like I'm watching goblin slayer but for muskrats

Muskrats are big enough, its like ufc cage fighters vs street brawlers. Minks of course the MMA champions.

I love you getting the family involved in your hunts. ❤❤ A good day out.

this channel is so fire! i really think this guy is rewriting the book on minkery and hunting with animals. i bet he could train a cat to hunt. this is the only channel where i never fast forward, always learning, always entertaining

IDK how this got on my recommended but thanks KZfaq. Entertaining.

Muskrat: *lunges* Mink: "I'm about to fuck up your whole world."

I now know i have an interest in mink. Thank you for this sir.

If only the Raptors from Jurassic world were real, I could only imagine how badass you would be at training them

Sounds like your Minks are leveling up with each kill. Looks like you have a a couple of death knights, a paladin and a rogue. These ranked 2v2’s are awesome to see in real life. 👍😁

Have watched you for a while Joseph not only are the young mink gaining in confidence my friend you have come a long way yourself well done mate and keep going love from Western Australia

Your little girl is SO cute with those little waders on :) I bet you're an amazing father :)

We need to stop Mink on Mink crimes lol

You finally did it you crazy genius! XD

I adore your connection with animals.

I once observed a pair of mink in central Idaho while on a camping trip. They came into camp and explored while we stood around watching them. They weren't at all afraid of people. They may have been fed in other camps. They stayed a short time and returned to the creek. We never saw them again.

Loved the commentary and explanations, super interesting! I love the idea of the temporary Pack.

In the wild they work together as a big group. We found this out one day when we shot a few hundred cotton tails in a basin. Came back after lunch and most of the rabbits were gone, but I observed one trying to drag a rabbit off which was to big for it. It left and returned with a friend a few moments later and the two of them dragged it away.

I ready like your approach to conservation. It's so responsible!👍😀

Life long naturalist, many memorable encounters with mink in eastern Ontario, west Quebec. Like you said, always learn new things Some unbelievable stories and encounters. Your video’s are so enlightening, for me as an old guy, if I had this stuff 30 years ago it would have been so fantastic. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for what you are sharing with all the young people out there who want to learn. You can’t imagine how lacking access to information about natural HISTORY WAS. Even 20 years ago. The future is bright, keep on sharing your fascination with life..

Full respect for your dedication to understanding of Minks. Really enjoy your videos since the day I started. Always looking forward to your new uploads!

Hello, I'm an artist and I had stumbled upon your videos a month ago. I was so inspired by you and your mink I started to draw them. I even drew a character that was a mink and named him mamba after your beautiful girl. Thank you so much for doing these videos and I learn a lot from them and how amazing the American mink really is. I've always loved ferrets. But I didn't know much about mink beside the fur farm part. Thank you dearly for all the time spent and showing us the wonderful creature we call the American mink.~♡

You show it and I'll gladly watch. I just love your channel and especially the lizard. And the dogs. And the girls. And the mink... just love the channel Man!

Amazing to see your little buddies working by instinct! Their ability to fight is awesome! Thank you!

After watching your videos I find myself saying "GOOD DAWG~!! GOOD GURRLL~~!!!" to my own dogs. :) Cheers! Love your passion!

Barehanded catch, cameraman " good boy". Lmao

There is truly something for everyone on KZfaq. I would have never thought

That was a great little tutorial, and intriguing theory. Thanks!

Awesome! Excellent! Superb! etc etc Nothing to dumb a person down here. This is incredibly educational and I applaud you for your efforts, your ability, and obvious love of your mink and what you are involving them and yourself in. I can only hope that more people will be inspired by you and better themselves and in turn the world with that motivation. This reminded me so much of myself when I was a young teenager and I would go fishing with my friend Eddie. It’s a long story, but suffice it to say we would be running all over the place just as he is here. And I swear my adrenaline started pumping some while watching this, and that is what made me think of those fishing days back then. I hope you keep this up forever!

This sounds like a tv show, I love it!

14:35 straight savage just locked him in with the mink 😂

Thanks for saving Minks. They need you bro!

I really like the extra information you integrate into your videos. You're a really multi-talented fellow, you put together really tidy videos, and give a lot of information without cluttering up the action moments. I like the long videos! You have a couple of talented camera people, too - Guess it makes sense a good animal trainer would be a good film director. A+ all around, I play your ratting videos in the background when I'm painting. Your ream has great energy, it's awesome how much fun you have.

You’re such a good guy man saving those minks takes a special person to train them

Oh Thank you for saving them! Hod bless you and them!

I love everything about this. Especially when you just threw the mink and the rat in the container and just cut away. That must have been a goddamn nightmare for the rat lol.

Just found your channel. Been binging your vids. You crack me up when you tell yourself "good boy" for catching the prey ypurself. Lmao

damn I cant understand how you are so comfortable picking up things with your barehand ... btw I enjoy your vids

Man I love this guy, truly a wild spirit

Some of the most interesting and original videos on KZfaq, thank you.

Multiple hunting mink. And they said it couldn't be done. That's actually hugely interesting though. I wonder if you were to breed a separate pair, raise those siblings into adulthood and maturity together and socialise them to hunt with each other, then breed the two groups together and do the same process, etc etc, you would eventually get minks more naturally predisposed towards social groups and force a pack mentality.

Gotta love Onsa! Gone but never forgotten!,

I love Joseph's videos, he's very passionate about what he does and it's amazing!

I love mink. They are such little badasses.

I’m thrilled that your sharing you knowledge and adventures with all of us! I’m also very happy that mink have more value to the world than as a coat.

Idk what it is about this dudes voice. I always watch the intro. It does help he looks like a outdoorsman.

I have never tasted muskrat, but my grandmother swear it's a delicacy.

The Mink Man👍. Keep saving those minks!!!

I think it would be interesting to see a wildlife biologist work with ya.

Mr. Carter, Baltimore needs you!

You're a mink's best friend. I didn't know a thing about them before I stumbled across your videos.

You do a wonderful job with them thoroughly enjoy these informative videos keep them coming !!!

I hope that you don't get demonetized because your vids are all for educational purposes
