Awsome post Gary thanks for the help. one question though. do you put any bait or lure in your clay tiles or do you just let them be blind sets?
Did you reach your Mink goal yet?

Now wait a minute. I thought you couldn't catch mink on bare banks that didn't have any cover. I've seen that said many times in books, on here, etc. Haha, I was gonna make that point, but decided I didn't want to open that can of worms.

I couldn't help myself. That's one of my favorites. Along with "Every mink runs tight against the bridge wall." "You can't catch another mink where you have already caught one if he lets off some of his musk." "I can catch more mink faster in blind sets than in pocket sets." "You can't catch mink in bodygrippers with any regularity." And on and on and on. LOL

"I am making an effort to teach the young people coming up through the ranks." I can't help what others have said before me and I really don't care. I am not trying to be argumentative just state the facts as I know them, as plainly as I can and what works for me. I also believe that in most cases where similar habitat and other factors are near to what I have, the same ways will work. At my age, I never know how many more years I have left to trap. I have a heritage that I believe should be passed on and a little knowledge about what I am writing about. The Good Lord has made trapping enjoyable, and at times profitable for me and I believe I should give back and teach others that may not have a mentor close at hand. This is why I am writing the book on muskrats and muskrat trapping ... to state the facts as true as I know them. I am here to help.... if I can. ........ GArry-

"I am making an effort to teach the young people coming up through the ranks." And doing a great job too. Just thought of a couple tiles I'm gonna set next year that I've passed up before. Thanks.

Here is a different pinch point, not a culvert but where the back of the bridge boards V up to the bank. Putting the trap all the way back is deadly on those fuzzytails.
The second pic is another pinch point where the grass narrows up and a 1.5 coil fits perfectly in the middle of the creek. (mink in middle of pic hard to see)
Those are both excellant pinch points .... most every body of water or water course has pinch points ... you just have to look for them and make sets there ... and then have PATIENCE! .... Garry-
