Titchy; We've been here and done this, mate. Use the Search facility and ask it for MINK, on this board. Or else just cut back to the first page of this board and comb ye way through. It's all in amongst it.

 

Read that lot ~ might take ye a week or so, 'mind ~ Then come back with any questions still unresolved in ye head

Those shop bought rabbit snares with the green twine. If you make the hoop smaller and so that it carnt come back should work I would give it a try anyway

LL are you really sure you are learning to be a keeper or just simply taking the piss

the shop bought snares are a pile of shite and if you are being taught by a keeper

he must also be a complete fool as i am sure he would tell you that they would be

of no use for mink

What? You mean a self locking wire? Totally illegal

 

LL - I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but if you really don't know anything about a subject then you are better off not posting an opinion or comment on it. It can only lead to problems for yourself and for the unfortunate owner of the post who might take your offering as gospel. This is a prime example. Self locking snares are illegal for all quarry in the UK, and shop bought rubbish rabbit wires are simply not up to the job of snaring mink.

No i did not mean to make it too a self locking snare Just so the wire does not spin back into the size of a rabbit wire I do not know much at all about snaring and am rubbish at it too But i hope to learn more about it by reading posts here.

[OldTrapCollector 377]

I do not know much at all about snaring

 

This is obvious - please keep your uneducated ideas to yourself then so you don't inadvertedly give someone else the wrong impression

 

But i hope to learn more about it by reading posts here.

Ill take your wise words in OTC The reason i dont snare much or even try reallyis beacuse they are banned from use on my ground by the owner If i had more space i would set out a few snares and try to learn about them. Have around 30 odd in my shed Not the shitty shop ones tho

a pegged rabbit snare holds a big mink , so does a fenceline snare . as long as the wire is spun firmly . my mate snared a 4 1/2 lbs. dog mink in a fence wire last week it held it no problem . a pegged wire holds large fox cubs , also.

What's a pegged snare??

 

That snare will fire with the slightest touch. Most of my mink are neck snared.
