I finally got all the fur taken care of. So blessed to have the opportunity to pursue this hobby. I know the prices on mink are still low along with racoons but that also reduces the amount of competition we have to deal with. This was the fastest to a 100 mink for me (30 days) and the most in a season (108 total). I pulled my line once I broke a 100 . The rest were incidentals from a very short otter line and one on a beaver set. How on earth does a mink set off a Bridger #5 with 5lbs pan tension is beyond me. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2023/03/full-7321-172261-img_20230322_30701.jpg)

I love the mink Ack. You sure have the when, where and how down pat. Not to mention the work ethic to make it all happen.
Ohio has some good mink trapping. I did a little out there several years ago. I really liked your habitat. Congratulations young man. All the mink but 1 came within a 7 mile radius of my home. North west ohio.

Congratulations, that's awesome. You must have a higher density of mink than we do in Central Ohio. I highly doubt I have more mink. Central Ohio is pretty much identical to my area. Near lima. I'm confident these numbers can be done anywhere in ohio.

Great Pic and nice bunch of fur.
I like trapping mink also-looks like some big ones there.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
