Not again.... I am so sick of frigging mink!

[lokidog]

Went out today to check on the chickens... apparently another mink found one of the three 1X2 inch holes in the chicken wire.  The coop door was wide open, but it will open if a chicken comes down on the handle when freaking out in the coop.

20 of 33 hens - DEAD, one of two roosters injured and may not make it.            

Time to get my trapping permit so I can go after more than just the ones in the yard.

If anyone has any good ideas on what to use for bait/setups, please let me know.  Many of my sets will be on shorelines as that is where the mink forage between their trips across land looking for rabbits and chickens.

That sucks so bad!!! 2 times in one year is just crazy. Little rotten buggers!!!! I hope you hammer them!

[lokidog]

Also, if anyone has any traps they would be willing to loan me, I would appreciate it.  I currently have five but could use more, though I cannot afford to buy any right now.

That bites.  Those things are horrible for their size.
I think you know a good bait...

I'll be saving the guts, but the mink just don't seem to be as much into scavenging as raccoons, unfortunately.

Ever think about putting in a listen device, like a crib monitor or something?

Might be a bit annoying when the rooster crows at 2 in the morning, which they do frequently.

MAN, trapping license or not.  I would be putting down traps.

Better look into some rooster obedience classes.

Plenty around the coop.  I don't worry about the trap when I see them though.     I try to be legal with the traps off of my property though.

Damn!  Sorry to hear Loki. Best of luck serving justice.

What's mink taste like?

Don't know, most of the time there's nothing left of them after I'm done taking my frustrations out on them.   

[Gobble Doc]

Good luck.  I hope you nail them soon.

Egg factory took a good hit.
