Anyone have any experience with using tube traps (WCS) for mink?
Do they work? Are they effective? They are listed as being mink traps but predominantly I hear of their effectiveness for squirrels. I’m looking for real experience on their use for mink.

Thanks

Just use drain tile. 3 or 4 foot sections.

Caught a few barn rats with mine.

In MI I always used first cut slabs from the smaller sawmills cut 3 pieces the same length then put a shorter cross piece on the bottom to make a nice cubby to set in the feeder creeks. Looked just like a hollow log with a square hole fits a coni or foot trap just fine.
