Snares for sure work. But if there dragging cut branches things could get a little iffy.

Any moisture on the traps going into the hot wax is also a hazard. They gotta be popcorn fart dry.
OK, thanks!

Mark the control knob with a magic marker when you find the best heat setting so you can go back to it the next time. Use a wire hook to put a trap in and take it out and put on cardboard to cool. The trap will look white or cloudy when you drop it in and will clear up when it warms up to the temperature of the wax and you can take it out.
Cool, thanks!

Lol. I’ve had good luck with Idaho castor. Used mostly for Oregon Bobcats!!!

Well handled castors is probably the most important part.

Is it better to dry fire a semi auto .22 rimfire or leave the firing pin engaged?

That sure is a biggen. Wonder where he was liven? Most likely someone's back yard eating bird seed.

I don’t think it would have held a mink the way it came apart it was a new trap never used before, just test yours before you set them is the message.

My only experience with rimfires is a 22LR so input and experiences are appreciated

I’m looking at Ruger American rimfire rifles

EDIT : i’m not tied to a rimfire cartridge, but I definitely want a more fur friendly option than my 223 for Bobcats/fox. I would also consider a 22 hornet or 17 hornet.


you have the 223 already , load it down to about 2650-2750fps with a 55gr soft point and I think you can find very good accuracy and a less violently expanding round that is cheap and accurate.

then if you keep track of the difference between your current ammo and your cat and fox ammo you can just run the elevation up/down and be right back to using the other ammo should you decide you want to.

then you can stock the ammo deeper and or upgrade the optics with the money you save.


Missed the part about the .223 . You can have that .223 rebarreled to shoot .17 Remington as it’s still based on the .223 as a parent casing so same bolt face. But you’re correct about loading down being an option,GCP.

i wouldnt worry to much about the strength of the coil springs for Mink i would just make sure the pan sits flat with the jaws or just a touch under and when setting for mink with those coils be sure to place them in such a way that the Mink has to walk thru the trap
and not over a jaw Mink being very short legged the position of the trap can be the difference between a toe catch or a solid body catch with those square jaw twos

the recommendation is you put the can on the scale when you get it , then write down your weight in grams that way you know when it is time to clean because it has gained weight

I love all the colours, Tatiana. And I definitely see the fur texture difference. As an artist lost in the beauty of fur texture, I see all this instantly. Even the more subtle fur textures.

I told T4Ever, after he sent me several pictures of his shop literally filled with huge piles of marten of every colour, and many other animals along the walls, that I could sit on the floor and admire and play with every hide all day. I am certain that he would have you and I put to good work skinning them as he brings them in ! I wouldnt be allowed much time to play.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and photos. By the way-none of your marten ever looks drunk, angry or a bit "touched"... retarded

Mules are and were back then used for riding and packing.

As to the Indians using them, I have no idea if they did. If so, they became educated quick on how to reason with them...not to strong-arm them. Plus the fact that any dog of the tribe that got within biting or striking distance of a mule would be dispatched immediately. I would guess they wouldnt know how to get more mules in breeding.

I dont think Indians would have liked mules very much...except the Nez Perce.

To Beav's thought, yes, mules do pack stronger loads . And in general more sure-footed and eat less. If a mule is reasoned with well and knows it is cared about and respected, they will do anything for you. I've experienced that. Mules are great.

And, same with horses, really. All this said, I like to ride horses the most. It's the flair, energy and extra bling they express that I prefer.

I would say that any trapper who was able to have a horse and packing with a mule or mules was very fortunate.
