When you find a Beaver house that's abandoned, poke a hole into it and set a 120 in it. Have taken 18 Mink in Wy. In a day, trapped them when Bobcats were worth 15.00 and a nice Dark Buck would bring 60.00 . J Curt's Grigg was one of the Best Minkers ever. Cheers!
Thanks for the tip. I was wondering how to set that lodge, and actually got that idea, but never pursued it. Great to know that it works. Cheers to you!
@@TheADKTrapper If you can find one J Curtis's Griggs buy it. He has some Ingenuis ways to Deal with Trap Thieves. Was a Longline Mink Trapper in the Depression. Pocket Set with Muskrat hind leg was my Favorite Set. Leave some Seed. Cheers
@@TheADKTrapper I just told you he was a Trapper from The Great Depression Era. People would do alot for 10.00 Back then Trappers every where and Fucking Thieves too. But he has Published Several Small Books. Videos we wished!!!!!
way to go youngmango back to day of big snow where conibear under log mink was going underlog ive had refusalby way triggers are mink donot like to go through if whiskers will touch they are feelersfor them sure ive caught them in grass but ive had refusals in baitedboxes twisttriggers up one inch like a t
Thanks for the tip Steve! I'll definitely give it a go. There are mink running around where I am land trapping now on the edges of beaver ponds so I might put out a few sets
Beautiful Buck Mink 👍, sorry about the scumbag stealing your traps. I have been very fortunate to have only had a couple stolen in 45 years. Hopefully you will catch them
I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve actually been able to re-possess every one I’ve had stolen from me. This is the third occasion. Caught the first two. Hopefully my luck continues with that
Wow, I was wondering if this would be noticed. Yes. In fact I was using some of the same sets. Something about this location seems to draw in a bug buck mink and I think maybe that means it is such a good habitat that it will always draw in so many males that only a really big dominant mink can defend it as his territory. Or maybe it’s a total coincidence. It’s weird, I felt like I needed another minkzilla to kick off this new channel, and it actually happened. I feel like this one is bigger
Yeah I had a surprise last year when that happened to me. There’s a niche group of trappers that get all territorial about certain locations. “That’s MY spot” sort of thing
Garret--good idea on the trail cams--like you said put out a cam that doesn't work or is a cheap one as a decoy and then place your cell phone cam somewhere not so conspicuous. I would make sure you secure the good cam with a lock, I use a Masterlock Python-I would go even further with a complete steel cage to prevent theft or at the least to make them work really hard in stealing the trap--good luck!
My friend....thay was an awesome mink catch....just some friendly advise....i would never show the actual process of dispatching on video ad its only goong to give bullits to fire at trappers by the anti's!!
Michael, first of all, thank you for the complement. With regard to the dispatch, I thought a lot about that before posting & have been second guessing the intelligence of my decision. Thx for your input.
I’m thinking we will… Especially after the ECO returned my call. Blown away by how helpful he is being. Hard to say though, it all depends on if they decide to come back and steal more. Thanks for watching Bill
if your trapping land animals if you can get ratcarcasses beaver scraps from buthcer put in gunnysack hang above ground make trail sets if near willows if trapsvare set under baitmake sure on a longchain with the drag youshowed would use bigger trap say 3 jump or 4 longspring put in alight as youcan find freezer bag set offcenter could make post set maybe twoaway from bait with drags
triggers are split to outsidethen j is splitso as mink goes thru whiskers wont touch i fiddle with those boxes for years sawa guy from can do this ill try find him

isn’t that the same area you got the first minkzilla some years ago?

That is extremely perceptive!
Nice mink Garrett! I hope you catch that thief!
R u the kid I used to watch trap mink and other critters years ago? I've been looking for that channel
You bet, Jacob. I'm back
@@TheADKTrapper oh cool..
Hate to say it but the only folks that ever gave me trouble up there were other trappers. Keep on trapping and good luck!

Yeah I’ve been adjusting things today, pulled the cam and will be re-deploying everything in a smarter way
Nice mink, and sucks when someone steals traps !
Good trapping video. Hope you catch the thief. Nice mink.
Thanks David. Mink have always been my favorite animal to trap. Especially during their breeding season. Always makes for a fun saga
Good looking mink! Good luck with the thief. Sucks to have equipment stolen.

Fine mink. Sorry your having trouble with that thief.
Wow, that’s insane 😮

File some notches in traps and take a picture. If you catch the thief you will need to identify your traps. As they take the name tags off no proof
