Wolfdog91 6,875 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 I know you guys snare fox and rabbits but was curious is y'all snare mink any ? It's become a bit more popular of here in recent years, talked to some who say they prefer it to connies or footholds because it's quicker and lighter. I could post some pictures of some various systems guys use over here if anyone is curious . But anyhow wanted to know if any of y'all did it or if it's ever been a thing with you guys. Thanks ! 1 Quote Link to post

Actually one of the main guys who is really known for mink snaring was talking A bout it the other day on my home site. I screenshot a few of his posts you might find interesting. From eveyone I've talked to it's not the hardest thing to do it's just you need to have your snare set up properly because mink apparently will work a snare like crazy so swiveling it's important. And their fast too so you need t good fast loaded one at that. My friends in Louisiana say it's the same with snaring otter 2 Quote Link to post

I mainly use 1/16th cable. I've used 1/64th in the past, which has a nice low profile, but not as strong as the 1/16th. I've never had a mink get out of or twist off either type snare. Lock wise, I'm using Lo Pro locks. I like them a lot. Very fast lock. We can only use relaxing locks here, so limited to what we can use. Quote Link to post
