I've never done it, but there are some Iowa boys that catch 100 + every year.

Back in the days when we had lots of lake shore muskrats and out in the sloughs out in the forest 30,40 years ago there were many trapper catching 50 to 80 plus mink up here.Now I think you would have to cover a fair amount of ground to get 20 to 25 mink probably 100 plus traps

For a long liner maybe 100 or more. A recreational trapper 25 or 30. No ROW trapping and mink population fluctuations are the limiting factors. They aren't hard to trap every thing else being equal.

you need unlimited ROW trapping to take numbers. minnesota and iowa are right in the mink belt. good water access most places. we always hoped for 3 weeks of open water, but one year we had a mild fall, and had 6 weeks of open water. basically 2 seasons worth. that year i had a day catch of 64, and a seasons catch of 831.

We are seeing more mink here, I have never targeted them. I caught 3 one year, might try and top that this year. Most of my trapping is damage control, keeps me pretty busy
