   whew!  that is a whole lot of dry mink sets.  My hat is off to you guys.

Do you ever run bottom edge sets with colony traps?  I have caught more mink with that than any other set.

[Bigshooter]

We set bottom edge sets but have only caught rats.

Having a rough time trying to find larger traps. Partial to guillotine style doors to.
May not get anything but colony traps out this season.

Talk to bwgdc he sells guillotine style traps for a pretty fair price.

I recommend not buying a welder because then you might feel obligated to make waaayyyyyy too many traps.  It's possible that I speak from experience.

Goodluck guys! I just ordered up 3 dozen #110 Bridger conibears, 4 #330's and 100 snares. Bring on the cold weather and 2014-15 trapping season!

Got a beaver today in a walk in set.  32 lbs on the scale.

 Nice. How'd you lure him in?

[Bigshooter]

Made a castor mound in the back of the trap.  Set it on a slide going into a creek.
