That's the way to do it - those feathers help - They just cannot resist them leading into the tunnel like that can they?

 

OTC

Snareman gave me that tip, along with a few others.

That's a big ol' mink there mate.........well done!

Lovely shots, mate. Beautiful mink too. Yeppers; Ditch Shitter is suitably gutted too

 

F*ck it. Even just looking at that tunnel's got me hankering again. Especially as I've just this minute come in here from shifting half a room full of traps. I've rediscovered loads of Juby's which I can use. Go well in the big drains round here. Stone up the entrances and leave them as permanent sets like that. And, only last week I was reminding me fowl keeping neighbour to save me the feathers from any of his whiter birds.

 

Plenty else to keep me occupied here for a while yet. But I have a friend visiting for a few days as of tomorrow. Maybe that'll calm me down enough that we can take a stroll out together and make a set or two. Be nice to have company for a stroll around my old haunts. Show her what goes on, where.

 

F*ck it! I'm talking myself into it as I sit here! Expect more photo's!

WELL DONE PJ ,

 

NICE NATURAL LOOKING SET THERE ............. THE TYPE OF SPOT A MINK REALLY COULDNT MISS AFTER COMING ROUND THE BASE OF THAT TREE ............ MAGPIE FEATHERS ARE FOR ME ANYWAY A BY PRODUCT OF THE LARSON TRAP , OR THE ODD PIGEON ........ THOUGH I TEND TO LEAVE WOODIES ALONE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR TO BREED ..........

YEP OLD SNAREMAN REALLY KNOWS HIS TRADE

 

 

ALL THE BEST

Magpie and pigeon feathers work well but duck feathers are the best because they are water proof and stay fresh looking for longer (especially after rain) as we all know what magpie and pigeon feathers look like when wet,hope that helps .

Well done with the mink by the way and a nice looking set
