Congrats Ack!! Can I ask how many coon you picked up in the process. Man, I hate when they ruin a good set location...lol Actually I have been working on modifying my sets to eliminate as many coon as possible.. This was my best year yet on the mink to coon ratio. Most years I am between 2 to 3 coon per mimk This year I got it down to roughly 1.7 to 1. I may have missed the coon totals by a couple but my records show 171 coon as incedentals. Yes they absolutely mess up a "perfect" mink set. Really adds to the remake time plus bait loss and traps plugged up when the mink goes by. Now if coon prices ever go back up, yes the spigot can be turned back on. If that ever happens, I might have to hire someone to skin for me.

Congratulations. Wish you could get more from the buy for them this year. Do you think trapping that many does much to boost muskrat numbers on your line? Yes I am seeing more rats AND the mink population goes up once you start taking them in numbers. All of mine like I said above come from roughly a 7 mile radius. It sure can't keep from helping the rat population Imo.
