snareman 3 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 hope u get all his cousins good start what trap are you using? Mk 6 Fenns all the way mate, kills em clean every time Foxy in your dreams lad, a mark six does not kill a mink , and ive trapped them a lot of years longer than you , and a hell of a lot more mink , when they get caught they head for the water , i have personally witnessed large mink getting caught in the early morning and a perfect neck strike, and still fighting a fenn mark six twenty minutes later, thats why i used drowning wires , as i said to the ministry that they had passed traps that coudn,t kill mink as they are not strong enough , and that is years of hard facts trapping around 50 mink in 6 weeks in the winters when they are full grown and at there best , the best humane mink killing traps are the kania 2000, and the 120 bodygrip , they even pull the 116 of the holders and head for the water. and i,ve caught them at 6 lbs in weight , i have even had small bitch mink sitting still alive in mark sixes , they don,t even kill rabbits a lot of the time as the likes of moley , mickey, peg and gun, and teejay , who have caught hundreds in these traps every season.

Lost Generation 93 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 To add my two pennyworth, there's no Mink round my way so I have no experience trapping them. I've never been convinced that the mark IV Fenn is a good killer of squirrels, I have had too many foul catches with Bodygrips and don't like them much but I have found the Kania 2000 to be very good, if too expensive and also fairly shoddily made. I have only had one foul catch in an awful lot of squirrels killed with my Kanias Quote Link to post
