Kirk McCutcheon He Kirk... back when I was young I made a bunch of pans for my coni's to try out. They worked well for mink but I have found that with this trigger shape they get caught pretty good. I was getting a lot of catches far down the back with the pans but maybe I didn't have them set up proper.
I have something coming and eating my poultry in my barn. We are going to build weasel boxes with rat traps. Would this be strong enough to kill a mink do you think ? We don't know what it is but it pulls the heads off my birds, leaves no blood and leaves the body untouched. I trapped a rat this morning and it came and pulled the rat from the trap within 3 hours. Please give me some advice if you will. Thanks
The Vamp I think that most times a mink will pull out of those traps. My wife used to raise pheasants and the same thing happened to her birds one year and it was a skunk that time.I would set both traps just in case it is a weasel. I used a live trap to catch the skunk so it would not spray. You just cover the live trap with a blanket or tarp and when the skunk gets caught you pick the whole trap up and because it is covered they don't spray. Then throw the trap under water and drown the thing.
I really enjoy your videos!
Great advice!
Awesome 👍thanks you.
going to try that way
Are they double trap boxes, or is there screen on one end?

Kirk McCutcheon Good luck...yesterday I picked up my first dry fur of the year. Got 2 nice wolves and 3 marten.
Kirk McCutcheon Oh and I use the old bear grease with castor and mink glands mixed in for the mink.
Kirk McCutcheon P.S. what does Meetch meetch mean? lol
