Mink do not seem to avoid 110's when used as bottom edge sets, why do you guys think they will avoid a 110 in a tile if the tile is in a pool of water or under water along a bank? I never tried this set, but I just got some tile today to give it a try. I think this set was discussed at Minktoberfest this year.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

In BE sets the mink is swimming and cannot stop forward move as easily as when walking. When set along a bank partially submerged they will walking. If they are balking at the wire triggers try using pan triggers. I have had good success on rats and mink in small streams using a similar "culvert box" set in small streams. Placed in small feeder streams it will take many a [Linked Image]

rat or mink travelling the stream as it seems they cannot pass up exploring the tunnel.


The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
