So I’ve never targeted weasels but I’m making a trip to the yoop soon for about a week so I figured I would make some weasel boxes to throw out while I’m trapping for everything else my questions are what do you like better rat traps or footholds for the boxes? And secondly what should I look for? I’ve heard culverts and rock piles but there’s not much of that where I will be mostly evergreen Forrest cedar swamps stuff like that

1 1/2 long springs or rat traps in boxes look at cattail swamps around your cedar swamps beaver/rabbit for bait gusto,mink master,Lennons weasel lure work well,this late in the year they will start being yellowish stain to them.

Weasel love evergreen cedar swamps.

Ok thanks guys I have a few spots in mind I’ll probably just set a box out every time I make a cat set by old beaver dams and by the rabbit tracks

I prefer Rat Traps. But if you use a 1-1/2 long spring be sure to secure the trap well, a bobcat or even a coon during a warm spell could reach in a weasel box. Check all the areas mentioned for tracks. They are a neat little critter, good luck!

Weasels have a very small home range,just look for tracks in the snow and set an edge .

I’m not too familiar with weasel tracks because they’re not as prevalent down here, do they just look like smaller mink tracks?

First pictures shows a row of tracks and a hole in the snow where he tunnel out. Second picture is a closer look at weasel tracks. Hope this helps some, basically they are kinda a smaller version of mink tracks.

Yes this does help thank you, pretty much how I pictured them lol

I use big pan Victor rat snap traps. They dont last long in them. If you find tracks set near by.

watch those up weasel they used to attack me in the outhouse at deer camp...

Snow Snake medicen also works against weasel attacks. Few people know this .

I'll be ready next time
