set them on banks near the streams tied too a brick from what iv seen on a warrener dvd he found them all dead except one that had got itself into a hole he also said you can set them at the entranses of tunnels near rivers and streams... or put a mk 6 fenn down which would be my approch

Snaring mink takes a lot of practice ferret boy. If I was you I would PM snareman or woodga, I think both have done a lot of mink control. I have a dvd that snareman made a while back showing how he snares mink, but I can't post his info without his permission.

 

Another way would be to get some body grips or fenns in cubbies on fallen trees etc as they cross the stream or river, and also those trees that have fallen and lay along the bank beside the river.

 

All the best

I'm ashamed to say I bought mine form eekbay mate. I didn't know it was snaremans originally as it wasn't advertised that way, it was only when I watched it did I realise who had made it. I think it is a rip off copy as it was only 99p plus p&p.

 

I think when snaring mink a lot of guys use fine stainless steel aircraft cable, I know you can get the eyes for the snares from the states, but as I say if you PM Woodga or Snareman they might be able to help out and point you to where you can buy the gear they use.
