Mink pans on 160's's

Mink pans on 160's's - 04/01/22 07:29 PM

Has anyone put them on my 160's and 220's for skunk or raccoon? If so how do they work for you? Was thinking about trying them with my skunk boxes in effort to prevent them from getting in too far and not getting a clean catch (more so with skunk). With a pan I think I could prevent this from happing. What's your thoughts?

have a step=over log before the enclosure to have the skunks put a foot down before the trap pan gets them

If targeting skunk, a 155 works pretty well. It’s almost impossible for them to sneak past the trigger too far. But for 160s, I run a trigger wire and almost all of my catches are caught only in one jaw (didn’t make it far enough to get caught in both). Just my two cents as I have never experimented with pans on conibears

I use them on my 220's where I set cubbies up for coons and is a real good chance that mink are traveling also. Have taken both coon and mink in the same sets.

I have used the pans on the triggers of 120's in newspaper boxes and caught a few skunks in them. None of them sprayed.
