We had a cold snap here in Ohio in the middle of December. It got down to -15 that night, and didn't get higher than 15 the next day. Now, that doesn't sound that cold, but I was running on a four-wheeler exclusively. Brrrr! That day was so worth it though! I pulled up to the one pond I was trapping. I had set a 110 in a dry hole above the water line, but my trap was missing! I was so frustrated that something had pulled the trap off of the stake. Well, I kept checking my other traps around the pond, when I saw something floating in the water. I waded out to it, thinking it was a muskrat. That was when I realized that it was my first mink! It was awesome!
