TheWoWDBLook for small dirt mounds on the ground around the area. You can also target them if necessary:
/tar Stoat DenAfter rustling a den, few [npc=125327]s spawn out and you have to kill the poor Mustela to loot [item=152642]. You only have a few seconds to do this before the stoats disappear (AoE spells for ease). As usual, the quest item is not a guaranteed drop.
Quest
The Stoat Hunt
A World of Warcraft quest in Tiragarde Sound. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
There are small burrows on the ground, often near [npc=126455]. Several small mobs will spawn out of the ground. Kill them but LOOT THEM IMMEDIATELY. they despawn very quickly, especially if you are attacking something else at the same time. Do not wait until after combat to loot.
This should not be a required quest. There's no way I'm doing this. I have morals.
If they wanted the meat or something I'd be okay with it but this is a blood sport, I won't stoop that low even if it is a game.

One of the greatest hunting sports amongst the nobles of Boralus is the stoat hunt. It is a sport of determination, patience, and skill. Do you think you can rise to the challenge? Stoats are agile, sneaky, and sharp. They're next to impossible to catch out in the forest, so the best way to find one is to find its burrow and scare it out. Find their burrows and bring back their pelts. Their fur is soft and much loved amongst the nobles.

- An Element of Danger
These nobles really think killing weasels is the mark of a good hunter? Ha! It ain't hunting if there isn't a bit of danger involved. There are boars in these woods. That's more our speed out in the mountains! Why don't you kill some of those, then bring me their tusks as proof?
