    JD do you use the standard trigger wire formatlion on your 55's? Also, in your opinion, do you think they'd make a good mink trap, if they were approved for them? Well, I've got every make of BG here. The whole lot, and I have to say that the BMI triggers are the best of the lot. I've done a bit of experimenting with them and they're good. However, I once filmed a squirrel weave his way through the triggers to get to the peanuts. But if it can do that on a BMI then it can do it on anything else. I think the 55 would make a superb mink trap, simply because of the way they have lethal stri

In the heal of the hunt we stuck on some camo too! Lol Sure feck it!

    Or use a graft, and dig a hole in the bank, just a little wider than a set trap, and just a little higher than a sprung trap!
  6. EDDIE B
    Yea looking forward to it myself! He traps in very much the same fashion as myself, and he catches alot of mink each year!

    Hopefully you'll never have to experience that again Micky! Touch wood!
  9. EDDIE B
    Think Micky's got enough stick over this one! Think we should all just leaf him alone now!

    Its obviously been in the trap a while! It looks as stiff as a board! Sorry, couldn't resist joining in!:-)

    Think we're all starting to get itchy feet!

    My brother in law found two petrol lawnmowers in a skip once! Neither of which were ever used! As clean as the day they left the factory! Thing is, neither of them were working either! So he took them over to my father, ( the go too guy, for all things broken) and he replaced a couple of parts from one mower, with parts from the other mower, and ended up with one almost brand new lawnmower for free! Still has mower to this day!

    Perhaps we need an up to date video or book, showing legal methods of trapping and snaring mink! Alot has changed in th e last 30 years or so, regarding what is within the law, and what is not!

    Ha, yea good rub never fails! Hard keep bait fresh this time of year anyway, unless its salted!
  15. EDDIE B
    Nice! What bait you use? If you rub that lad around your other sets you'll catch more! Best bait for mink, is mink!? You'll prob get another in that set tomorrow or the next day!
  16. EDDIE B
    Yea they'd work, but still must be covered properly to stay legal!?
  17. EDDIE B
    A right! Yea they look the job! What you using for the stake part of your stabilizer? Personally I don't use stabilizers for my mink sets! Just dig a hole, and notch out for spring,sits in good and tight!
  18. EDDIE B
    Sorry lad, must be a bit slow, what's the question? Is it, your asking are these a good idea?? Suppose if you use a lot of mesh tunnels, or bottomless wooden tunnels, then yea!

    Well that is a small pan isn't it! Wonder why the Americans felt the need to make the pan smaller? Were they viewing the trap more like a foothold, smaller pans being more the norm on their traps?
  20. EDDIE B
    Thanks for the reply OTC! Any pics you could show us?
  21. EDDIE B
    Well got the answers I was looking for! I was put onto an American trapper who not only knows about these traps, but uses them! Here's the e-mail I recieved! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Subject: Re: Northwood Eddie I was told the northwoods quickkill was developed for N.J. as we were losing our rights to use footholds. The first models were a copy of the fenn trap. They came in a 5 inch and 6 inch size. It was determined that the 5 inch was to small to capture our muskrats, so the #6 was put into production. It was determined that the pan was to large for a dependa
  22. EDDIE B
    Probably the most logical answer JD!

    O.k so asked this question in another place with no success, so thought I'd try here! Anyone have any info on the Northwood 6" Quick Kill Trap? I know it went into and out of production in the 80's, for the American trapping market, and as you can see it looks very like The Fenn M6! So anyone know why it went out of production so quickly, or have any more relevent information on the history of this trap?

    Aha! Of coarseO! Loose ceiling board moving with a breeze coming in from somewhere! Think about it! Every time you lift the board for a look, silence! Lol?
  25. EDDIE B
    Seen as noise is coming from one particular spot, might it be getting into the cavity of the wall, but not being able to entire into the actual space where you looked, between suspended ceiling and floorboards? Just edited to add! You mention in the OP that the noise is close to a concrete partition wall! What's on the other side of this wall? Can you gain access to it?
