A couple of weeks ago I had mentioned that I liked setting at field tiles for mink. I was greatly surprised to get several PMs from people that didn't know what a field tile was .... So I have taken some photos of several different kinds to show ...
This is an 8 inch clay tile:

This is a 6 inch clay tile:

This is a an 8 inch plastic tile:

This is a 4 inch plastic tile:

This is a 12 inch concrete tile:

This is a 12 concrete tile:

This is a tile that is broken off in the back covered over by grass ... Excellant mink set!

All of these tiles a great places for either blind or baited sets for mink and muskrats. The larger concrete tile (depending on water level) can also be good places for coon. I have also taken muskrats in colony traps set up inside them. I will use either a 1.5 leghold, #110 or #120 at the opening of these tile sets.
Several people have also questioned as to what a "Pinch Point" is. Here are two of my favorite examples below: My definition of a "Pinch Point" ....
"A point along a water course that a mink must either go away from the water's edge or be forced to go into the water."Can you find the Pinch Points in these 2 photos?


Happy Trapping .... Garry-
