How many coon and rat incidentals? Both are way down in my area of PA.
30 rats (by far the most ever) and 187 coon
You must have a really low muskrat population or your rat to mink ratio would be a lot higher. How many rats have you caught in those pocket sets?
After targeting mink for the last 8 to 9 years I have started to notice an increase on the rat population. These all come from a 7 mile radius from me. Normally I catch around 5 incidentals but yhis year it spiked to 30.
Also for those that think I am in a "eden" for mink, it really is nothing special. I would be surprised if I could not do this in any of ohio , north eastern Indiana or Southern Michigan.
