EoinGalway Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 While out walking yesterday seen some interesting runs along one of my local rivers, meet the landowner who owned about 10 acres running along the river and with his permission set my 8 mink traps. On returning this morning, found a firstly a very large feral cat and with the vicious biting attempts he was dispatched. Got this nice male mink about 200yards away from the cat. Reckon I found its holt\burrow in a stone wall on the other side of the river so going to trap that side tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinGalway, well done, is there any specific reason why you are using live traps instead of kill traps? NTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"John West Sardines" in sunflour oil work a treat but mackerel does the job to! I have 8 cage traps (Club owned) and 4 fenn traps, (should have 11 cage traps but thieving ba*t*rds have reduced it to 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
