Very nice, what are you baiting for the mink? Muskrat? Any lure?We got both of them on the same beaver meat. No lure.

Does it decrease the value for a mink if you shoot it in the head instead of drowning?
Oh yea, It will grade damaged if shot.

If you have dels farm store near you they have a two pack for 25.00 they will both work for mink.
Two pack of what size?
Post by: Bigshooter on December 18, 2013, 09:03:53 PM
The bigger trap is 10x10x30 or something close to that and the other trap will be 7x7x24. Both work for mink.If you have dels farm store near you they have a two pack for 25.00 they will both work for mink.

Thanks.
Would hanging the musk glands in a trap work for a lure for mink?

I'm happy to see everyone else is catching mink! They are making me look silly out there. I've tried every trick on this forum. Congrats!
I had one that killed some chickens, then escaped out of my coon trap twice, I then modified the door so it was wider, then he got the chicken bait out once more without tripping it before I finally got him.
How do you sin out those thin little tails without ripping the skin or losing the tip?

Thanks, how much does it hurt the value to have the tail ripped a bit half way to the end? :( Sorry to threadjack a minute. Anyone could PM info. ;)
Should be no deduction.
A good tail slitting guide is the rib out of an umbrella.

Awesome, because this guy was huge. :tup: Now I just need to get some traps out around the beaches and docks where I see them more.
Will a draw knife for working on logs work as a fleshing scraper? The one I have has a small curve to it, but not a lot. Now I just need to build a fleshing beam.

Keep up the good work.
@Whitehunter Omak is a great place for your typical prairie vermints, like Bobcat, skunks, and fox.
But down in the wetter valleys there are all kinds of critters. Hell I even saw an otter road killed just south of Omak near the river on the highway. Tons of beaver up the Omak river. Seen lots of Badger out that way as well.
Post by: Humptulips on February 12, 2014, 08:28:32 PM
Really cool pics! Didn't know we have mink here in Wa. What can I trap over around Omak? I have white weasels on my property and lots of beavers close by. Where could I sell them ?
Talk to George Brady (509)923-2326. He is a furbuyer in Pateros. He can help you get started. You'll need a trapping license and George can help you with getting one.
