A little while ago I posted about mink boxes and designs for them. But this is what I came up with. There 24 inches long. With a 9x9 opening but since in PA we can have a opening more then 50 square inches I framed in the front making it 7x7. This box is a stackable, multi trap size box and unless I missed somethingthat it is 100% PA legal.

Nice. Thays a good looking box there. I want pics of your outcome.


You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

Why do you think it will be a good year? Not disagreeing just curious. Cause I set dps on Tuesday and I felt like I was tripping over mink tracks.

I too would like to learn of how they work for you. Over here it is tough to get them to enter my boxes but the boxes are much shorter in length and are for marten/fisher. Lately I have been trying 120s with the triggers modified with a pan to give the mink an unobstructed view of the bait. So far nothing but I only got 3 out..

I'm guessing because i've never had any luck with mink boxes. I can blind set beside them and catch them, but not in the boxes.
Now why i said i think if any year would be good, this would be it. The guys here who do have success with boxes, all come from north and have worse weather than we do. This year we have snow down already so if they catch, now would be it.

I never have had any luck with them either . But ! Might be the trick for you and your area.
