I just like seeing how other people are doing things on their mink sets. Last year I started snaring them and I found that snares work in a wide variety of ways.

Great videos River Birch! That's some pretty fast snare making. I have to use breakaways on mine, hah as weird as that is I managed to figure it out.

Wow that's cool, woodgrain and the outdoorsman both are not far from my house. Did you do any trapping while you were living over here?

Get the eric space mink snaring dvd! Packed with a lot of info from location to remakes and snare types. But I also enjoyed river birchs channel as well both very similar on technique and location.. River birchs terrain is very similar to what I see. Eric has a few culvert techniques that will make lites go off!

Daniel, in the first set of pictures you posted, in pictures # 1 and 4 your lock is too close to your support, making the snare fire slower. Always want at least an inch of cable between lock and supporting place, more if possible. Pics 2 and 3 are good, with lock at least in 12 o'Clock position. Eric
