Whats the reason for using snares for mink?There are better methods than snares to take mustelids.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Thick, mushy, open grassy humps that a 110 cant be stabilized in. 90% of my mink trapping is 110's, but i have certain spots that snares work well in.
On top of that, curious if anyone has run dispatch snares for mink

Mink wont pull hard enough to make a dispatch spring work.
They dont even pull hard enough to make a cable burn on the leather.

You can kill'm with entanglement. Or a mini kill pole.
I like a set where high tide will kill'm

Newt is right, kill them with entanglement or drowning. Why snare them? For us in NJ there is no other option except conibears completely submerged including the chain or any attached wire. Why snare coyotes, fox, coons, wolves? Because in some places and under winter time conditions they just work better. Same for snaring mink.

Theft is also a good reason to use snares, especially around road culverts and bridges.
