The best advice I could give is to: Find where the mink travel, put the trap there. Along concrete bridge walls are good, baited pocket sets work too. Look into the bottom edge set also using a conibear trap, deadly on mink. here is the basic idea ![[Linked Image]](http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/photopost/data/500/medium/Bottom_Edge_Set1.jpg)

Best spots are rivers, creeks and ponds that have muskrats. Mink are on the move to catch small fish, frogs, crayfish and basically any small animal is mink food. I like the pocket set or pipe set with a coni bear setting on the entrance. Lots of good videos on you tube. Yaz is the expert mink trapper on here. h.h.

See, I have a well sized property that has about a 8 yard wide creek traveling through it. The creek travels right through the property. It is in the middle of a treeline which travels with it. There are many small rock piles along the creek as well. I think it would be a good place to trap them.

The stream isn't very deep. Like the deepest right now is probably 3 foot. I scouted it out last night and found some mink tracks. Looks to be a good couple spots for a pocket set. Looks to be good for pipe sets too.
