Mink prices this year will cause a lot more trappers tying up a lot of water. Trappers will need to start earlier next year securing permission from Farmers and Ranchers. Prices will Bring some guys out to trap that have not trapped in 12 years. A guy can carry and run a lot 1 1/2 Long springs 110’s and 120’s if they can keep the coons out of them.

One ol' timer who trapped a lot of mink back in the day says we don't have the mink due to no one trapping them. Seems backwards but he claims mink population does better under pressure. Since no one has been trapping them the numbers have dropped. Judging buy some of his old photos I would think he knows what he's talking about.


I got back into trapping with the idea of not making any money and so far have been quite successful.
