This is my first actual year trapping by myself. I started last year but only for a couple days total with my grandpa and he taught me a lot to get started. So this year by myself is a learning year and I’ve not caught much so far ,and when I do it’s 1 muskrat a day. I only have three so far with 12 sets usually out. But today was great because I caught a muskrat and my first MINK I was so happy. Also I wanted to get my little cousins into trapping even though I don’t know much I know enough to get them started so I let them check with me. Needless to say... they thought it was cool and I think we got 2 future trappers. WHAT A DAY 2 catches (Most I’ve got in a day), one of which is my first MINK [Linked Image]

The bottom one is one of my little cousins

Tracks in the area so I know they were around. I saw a muskrat hole right on a spot that would also look good for bottom edge with some roots and branches Over it and set it for muskrat knowing it could definitely pullout a mink too. #11 double jaw in front of the hole on a 6 ft drowning cable. Pad catch.

I think I caught mink fever... I’m getting an urge to chase them now. Is there a cure?

Congrats on the double catch GT.
Mink and rat trapping go hand in hand.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Congratulations, you will always remember where you caught your first mink. I could take you to the spot I caught my first mink and that was 56 years ago.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Nice catches. You should tan that one for the wall.

Great job. That first mink is exciting and yours is a dandy.

I caught mink fever this year also after catching my first.
