So I figured I could put that all to good use and construct some quick tunnels for mink. I was wondering how small I could get away with? Would 4 inches be good? Or too small?

Placed in small feeder streams it will take any rat or mink travelling the stream as it seems they cannot pass up exploring the tunnel. No bait or lure is used. They also make good small stream snowmobile bridge abutments while at the same time targeting mink and rats. The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
