if you look you can see where there running... be a trail down by the water of creek and another faint trail up yop... ive had better luck up top...look around a culvert on old road bed... then go look up top you find holes in the weeds... set a trap down in one of them holes... baited or not catch a mink !!
The only place you find free cheese is in a mousetrap !

Use a heavy trap that will drown then in shallower water. Stake well as larger things often get into sets for them as well.
I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

Them big bucks like to run the dry banks through the weeds. Find those trails that are to small to be coon trails that snake around. Blend in a 155 coni,, Trigger on the bottom just off the ground.

Blind trail sets in warmer weather (above 0) bottom edge sets when below 0. That is how they run here it seems.
Wish I had more time to trap....

Blind sets, think like a mink, set lots of traps to cover the most possibilities, and be patient. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
