Mostly sand and stones filling in and impeding firing. NYSTA, NTA, FTA, life member Erie county trappers assn.,life member Catt.county trappers

Each season i catch a few incidental fish that are 6 to 10 inches long so I dont worry about a swimming mink not triggering the trap. I use 110 and 150 size bodygrips for mink and rats. Walt legge
