410PHIL Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi Folks of to put some traps down for mink at a local permission and wondered what different baits had worked well for other people? I would sit and wait it out with the 410 but the river is right next to a public footpath and there are just to many hedgecreepers about... Cheers in advance for any advice 410 Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andovian Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 liver is a definate for the traps also if you are sat on a quiet remote stretch of river sat their quietly with a fox squeaker you can sometimes get the mink to come and investigate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
