Schmitt has 2 mink books, Red's book is an excellent book.


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.

What is second schmittent book call on mink ? I have the first one an read others mention, not all, both Schmitt an Steve grukleys mink book have lots photos an excellent books, I like Steve's book as also from Iowa , lots photos in both of sets an trap placement on blind an pockets, mostly footholds , I believe Schmitt maybe all footholds , bottom edge trapping Is something else I into, set in channels an culverts an bridge pillars make bottom edge trapping easier as find other edge sets is something else I do but lot harder to find then easier culvert or pillar sets but some locations found, edge trapping not always but lot times is low percentage catch rate with lot connibears suerged an often times alot clog up connibear jaws with grass an leaves float downstream

Study what the guys who are consistently piling up the numbers are doing.

Schmitt, Fossil, and Blakely put me on the track to better numbers.

I third the vote for "Muskrat and Mink Trapping" by Austin Passamonte. You start at one end for rats and turn it around for mink form the other end. He breaks down the muskrat into four section depending o the environment you are in, good book......jk
