Overrun with weasels

Couple days ago put out 31 mink boxes on banks of 2 streams about 3 mile each. Using muskrat and mink gland lure, yesterday 19, today 11 ermine. I use trip wire on all my conibears. Don't believe I have ever caught that many ermine ever. Really plugging up my mink sets, but the ermine are pretty little critters

Lol....slot of ermine.Long tails or short tailed ermine?

Bruce:

Most were long tail, but had several least weasels, no short tail yet, in fact I hope I'm done catching weasels.

Are u saving the glands? I'd buy them if you are.

Yes sir:

I'm gonna try, nicked one today, boy do those little guys stink.

When weasels are at their peak populations you can catch a lot of them.They are a small animal with small home ranges,they are everywhere when the carrying capacity is high.
Have fun catching them.I love catching ermine weasels.

Wow! Sounds like an active couple of miles.

That sounds cool! Enjoy it while it lasts

Probably worth as much as mink........

Those little critters are fun to catch. My oldest granddaughter and me trap them during her xmas vacation every year and have a blast.

Hern:
Holy crap, now I'm going to start looking over my shoulder, more so than I do now. LOL

That weasel musk is deadly on mink and coyotes.

Thing is a good erime is about the price of a mink nowadays !

My mink line has been full of ermine as well. 13 so far, 2 minks. all my conibears are pans.

Someone once wrote-
If Weasels were the size of Mt. Lions, it wouldn't be safe for man to go into the woods.

I read once where if a man could accomplish the same as a weasel killing a rabbit he would have to kill a 3,500lb beast with his bare hands-they are one tough little animal.

Told a story about--Snowshoe hares will actually freeze in their tracks and start screaming, waiting to die, if they spot a weasel on their tracks.

Don't know if its true or not, but it sounds feasible.

Caught 1 this morning in a 160, thought for sure it would be cut in half, not even a mark inside the pelt,

I would say a 10 lb weasel would kill anything if it wanted to.

I’d start putting down weasel boxes and forget about the mink!

Must be the Dreaded water Weasel
