What are the most mink you have taken at one location?

Two.
We don’t have very high populations here and my mink trapping is mostly blind sets I make at good mink locations along my coyote and cat line. I’m walking to check predator sets and years ago decided to take along some 110s and blind set mink on the waterways and ponds along my line. It’s been a consistent mink taking strategy for me but again we don’t have great populations of mink so I don’t get many in a given season. Sure adds fun to my predator line though.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

4 at one stop....all blind sets and in about 50 yards distance. I thought I was a real minker that day.

Kinley31 usually when you take multiple mink from one location it could mean your on top of the den site and your taking out the yearlings and adult female
i have found that really mature males dont hang together because they are so territorial except in the spring when the female comes into heat then i have seen up to five at a time chasing from behind courting her and at times becoming quite violent
I have at times had a set or two that produced numbers of big males thru-out the season feeder streams that connect bigger bodies of water are hot-spots
if there is a bridge that go over them and the bridge has poured concreate walls toward the bottom of the bridge there should be pvc holes that i call weaps i would take a rat carcass and smear the intestines in and around the weap
then stuff back in the weap and guard the hole with a leg trap these type of sets produce multiple big males thru-out the season as long as you had open water
