Dave-G Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I generally only shoot a rapidly shrinking supply of rabbits so don't familiarise with the General licence very much. Is there an issue with mink control that are decimating carp stocks, and any tips will be appreciated either on the open forum or via PM.

oowee Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 They are an invasive species. Shoot them trap them (don't let them go), snare them or dig them up anything humane is allowed. https://www.diy-pest-control.co.uk/blog/how-to-get-rid-of-mink/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyshooter Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 We use mink cages on a floating platform baited with bits of off cuts from a butchery. This is on ongoing project on a trout river, and we seem to be keeping the numbers down. They are dispatched with a single .22RF short bullet to the head.

Eddie B Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 Where drains meet the main river system, and around bridges, is where I like to set mink traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
