fenboy Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 a old stinking fish, or try tinned tuna it works, but remember to open tin Or leave a tin opener so they can do it themselves . Mink will eat most things fish / rabbits any fresh road kill will do . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matth12321 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I've found tuna rabbit squirrel pigeon pheasant are all successful but the best bait you can use is the smell of another mink once you've caught one try to touch the trap as little as possible. If you cover the trap with hessian they pull it into the trap when you catch one this holds the smell better than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
