Mike it's not just you I can't catch one either. Made pocket sets and sets at beaver huts nothing but coon. Dont think there's many around but know a guy that caught one on the Glover river.

Just something I notice on mink is I catch most on the south or west side of the stream. The only thing I come up with is more vegetation grows on side of stream that receives most hours of sunlight.

Push, I've had people that live around Grand Lake tell me they see them all the time... Problem is getting permission to trap where they see them. One of the spots I trapped forever is a tributary of Grand but I've had no luck there... Ever. There's either zero activity or the garbage raccoons (starved runts with poor fur) plug your sets.

There's a creek south of Grove that an older brother of my buddy trapped years ago... He was after coon and complained he couldn't keep the mink out of his sets. I swam at that spot a few times in the summer and can see why... It just looks minky. But as I understand it, ownership has changed hands and access is now restricted. I may see if I can try to access it next season and scratch my itch to trap mink.

Set a trap where ever I put out my stringer of trout, on Big Goose Creek.
