For those that use a TE system In those cement culverts why not just In the off season go around and use your cordless drill to drill some holes In the wall and then set a anchor so you could bolt some type of stabilizer to the wall. But I still think you can catch the majority your rats and mink before they get to the culvert In a blind set or pocket set. Um, because that's illegal?

I mainly just run blind sets in those situations where the banks turn in and out with those nice little shelves Rebuilding john deere and international/farmall carburetors

But you will have higher catch rate setting before culvert as some mink choose to go up and over the road. These days, I want all the rats that come along too. Inside culvert, use blocking in the middle to force mink and rats to the edge and into set.
