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.

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

Three at one stop.

I snared three at the same spot in three consecutive days once.(one each 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

Good info Bob...wish we could snare roads. I do have a few culverts along farm roads that have culverts and these produce with a bit of work.

I took 5 one time, I think it was mamma and her litter for the year.

In the 1995/1996 season, in a few weeks, I caught 4, small female mink, along a small section of creek, just outside of Piqua, Ohio. They were nearly identical to each other.

Years back during a very wet period mink were everywhere catching 5 around a dam was not uncommon as was catching them in dry coon sets going cross country. Every puddle in a field had a muskrat house and mink nearby.

The guy I rented from tried to raise chickens close to a small creek in an old barn by the time he ran out of live chickens I caught mink 5 there too.

Under bridges are hot spots. baited and blind sets will work but if your not setting the cross overs your missing out on some. Even with snow on the ground there's some mink that won't go under, through the bridge. Why , I don't know. A 120 works good for those.

6 from the same trap over the course of a season. A foothold tucked inside a culvert right along the edge just under the water. Stacked rocks and would use a wad of weeds on top of the last rock to set the trap on and keep it just under the water line

Four, within three checks

Six mink from one pocket set about 10 years ago is my top. This was over a months timeframe.

3 out of one set and 3 out of one location many times. There may have been 4 somewhere along the line, but I cant recall.

Just this year, I've caught 4 males on a fifty foot section of one creek. 3 different sets.

3 in one elbow set over a couple weeks time. Adult male, young male, and a female.

Quit a few years ago I and a partner had two locations that produced 10 each. This was certainly not normal. I normally take about 2-3 per location and every set is a pocket set. I haven't set a large mink line in years. Back then I probably averaged about 175 traps and ran the line from opening day until everything froze solid.

3,two bucks and a female. Then two years later two juveniles and a buck. Same spot. Not having a big mink population both times I pulled stakes after the third one.
Little crick had a ten inch tile line running to a hay field that was always dry. Those mink would run that creek up and go through that tile for mice in the hayfield.
That got bulldozed now for two fast food stores.
