I didn't think you would notice the kinda trap I used :roflmao:
I knew the mink was there and I set 2 connibear traps about a foot apart in the run I had them set for 2 weeks and couldn't catch it.I snapped them for a couple days then reset and surprise,I am so proud of myself :biggrin:
cool :yoyo:
Nice catch there Bill. :highclap:

Glen you owe me a new keyboard. :laf:
:roflmao: Glad I could help you get that new keyboard Rich!! :eyebrow:
:roflmao: :roflmao:
That is too sweet Bill. Good going and feel proud you deserve too. :yoyo:
Bill,
Congratulations on the mink. I can't believe that you used a cement block to catch it, but I can understand you trying to cover it up by saying you used a connibear. After all if you secret trap gets out everyone will be using it and there won't be any fur left to smash, I mean trap.

The cement block traps are a pain to carry and set but are very effective :nono:
I can understand why folks aren't using them anymore :laf:
Who would have ever thought this thread would have come to this :roflmao: :roflmao:
There is always the brick trap. Its lighter but not as effective.
Shows ya what I know about trapping...I thought they were stretchers. :confused:

Glen,
I have to compliment you on your "catch" in the picture. I don't think anyone else noticed.

good job on the mink. was it male or female?.
Thanks Jerry. Every now & then I can control that lazy eye & see everything in the picture at once. :laf: :laf: I don't think too many others noticed what I meant either. :roflmao:
The mink was a female
Glen I was sure hoping you wouldn't catch on to my secrets on the way I trap :laf:
Now the the ol block trap has been revealed I guess I will have to change my methods :roflmao:
:nono: No you won't Bill!! Do you think these folks around here will ever figure out how to set it?? :laf: :laf:
Hey Bill, nice catch. :congrats:
Just think... only a hundred or so more and you'll have enough for the MIL a nice mink coat for Christmas. :wink:
Glen
