Threw these portable pockets in today to see if I can get lucky on one of them.

Good point. Yes indeed, I need to expand my territory and trap inventory. Well I'm still paying attention anyway.

Portable pockets are something I'm making and setting now too.

I might have to get some new coon boards too because pocket sets are coming soon.

I'm enjoying this thread, thanks.

i've been through every mink gadget there is and am back to a shovel walkin stick and 4 or 5 prewired traps in my pocket.experiment and learn what works best for you.

Congratulations!

Another possible location for a rat or mink.

Get'r done hogwild. Great post, nice fur, and thanks for keeping us in the loop!!

Interesting thread, thanks for posting.

Just trying to give people some ideas as to where to set for mink. I'm no expert, just sharing what little knowledge I have on the subject. Thanks to all who have chimed in.

Mink no.11

Awesome pictures and catches guys. I pulled that first line today as I get ready to move to a private permission.

My time is limited during regular working weeks so it is what it is. I wish I had time to put out and check more than a couple dozen traps.

In any case, 18 traps in about 1/2 a mile of beaver infested drainage into a reservoir, 2 weeks trapping time, 18 rats and 1 buck mink (minus the antlers)

Mink no.12

Here is the spot where she came from.

Nice....I'll be setting up a pond and another creek this coming weekend in fact. The owner showed me video of the mink running along the far bank and dam. The culvert is full of tracks and the rat huts on the pond look well maintained.

gettum fellas,i'm gettin ready to hit a little long haired fur.-tight chains to ya both.

Mink no.13
