I read an article on mink the other day, I've never seen one in the wild. I'm sure we have them though. A guy I work with told me he saw a ferret one afternoon running along the edge of the road. I'm pretty sure he saw a mink. Trapping is interesting. It's like running a trot line for fish though, it requires constant daily attention.
Be original and Enjoy every step along the adventure.

Last year was my first year trapping, and I gotta say, I'm hooked. It was a blast. I loved having an excuse to be out in the woods all winter.

I will have to check this video out when I’m not at work on a loud engine. Mink are not easy to trap so I would be interested in this video.

Mink travel A LOT in one day. I used to get excited after fresh snowfall and see fresh mink tracks, only to find empty sets for a couple of days. When I did get lucky it would be 1-2 tops. Old timer once told me best way to target mink. Sling 100 traps, you’ll be lucky to catch 5 in a couple days.

I usually get mine when ‘rat trapping. Usually get em with 110’s set in runs or bottom edge sets. Couple lakes I trap the mink do a number on my rats before I get out there to pull them.

Trapping is a lot of work but a great time. Definitely turns you into a better woodsman.

Yes it does! And humbles a person quickly and ruthlessly at times as well lol.
