Conibears in runs for rats and footholds in huts (if legal).

Conis in the trails through the cattails for mink. Find anyplace where the current makes open water and the mink will be there

For rats it's always runs first, ice or not, then holes if you can find them.
Then bottom edge sets. Finally if necessary, baited conibears will take some rats.

For mink, you can certainly catch some in runs, but the BE really shines.
Other than that look for mink tracks and blind set where they are narrowed down.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Bottom edge set, multiple sets per stop, easy to set easy to check
