patdahat 41 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 best to leave it there as long as possable and keep fresh bait in it every 3/4 days, you'd be supprised there could be a lot more of them there Quote Link to post
shotgunny 39 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 hi mate there is alot of bones and freshly bird around the banks of the river so ive baited 2 fenns and a live catch trap down there. Is it legal if i let my terrier kill the mink caught in the trap ?? atb sg Quote Link to post
patdahat 41 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 do you plan letting him out in the main street where everyone can see IT'S ONLY A CRIME IF YOUR CAUGHT DOING SOMETHING YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. Quote Link to post
shotgunny 39 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 fair point mate will let the terrier have some fun then tommorrow with any luck lol atb sg Quote Link to post
heritage 202 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) substantial cage traps are fine but i wouldnt consider setting fenns for mink,there simply not up to the job...atb Edited January 30, 2011 by heritage Quote Link to post
shotgunny 39 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Even the mk6 mate? Quote Link to post
heritage 202 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 No,not in my opinion....a good sized mink is a very powerful animal and if your targeting them id consider using a more suitable trap,something like the imbra/juby or the 116bg, any one of these 3 would be a better option as they would ensure a quick,humane death providing that they are set correctly.....atb Quote Link to post
lamaha 7 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Mrk 6 fenns are passed for mink but the live trap is the better bet. My last mink job took 2 weeks to get the first and luckly we saw its mate so knew there was another! As posted it was about 4 days before we got that one. The best tip for mink i was given was bait with anything smelly and if you catch in one place leave the trap there to catch another. Their range can be miles so bear with it! Quote Link to post
