spanielman Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 This is the 20th mink i've caught on the farm, this cheeky beggar was in the tree, the dogs were having a route round and l heard it hissing at them she even stuck her head out to have a look, so l set a mark 6 fenn trap in a tunnel,blocked in one end and put some pigeon breast behind the trap,next day trap sprung but empty,so reset it,this afternoon checked and result,you can see the tunnel trap just to the right of the tree.

mick miller Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 We have them on a local fishery but the manager wants them left alone, they keep the bird numbers down. Personally, I think that's a mistake. Nice to see you're nailing them up your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scolopax Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Most commercial fisheries are a waste land for aquatic birds. Makes you wonder where they all go ?? No ducks, geese, swans on many I have visited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanielman Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thought i'd cleared them up, first one for a year, moorhens and duck were getting back, be running a line of traps soon, so will see if she was a loner, l know she wouldnt have been when she come in season checked traps this morning and empty so fingers crossed, at least there easy too trap which is a bonus.

Whitebridges Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 The worst vermin possible where there is a river and game. Most keepers our way will pursue these critters as a high priority even before a darn fox. We trap a few on floating rafts. They will decimate a river if left to their own. Well trapped sir.
