Hi
So that everyone knows what is being talked about I thought I would be post some shots. The Mink Raft is a floating platoon with a tunnel. Under the tunnel is a tray of clay which you observe until you get Mink footprints. When you get tracks you insert a live cage trap and hopefully catch the Mink soon after. If you do not catch within a week it is best to take up the trap. If you do catch the Mink it is despatched quickly and humanely (normally shot by a suitable licensed gun holder). This method is only legal if the trap is checked daily and preferably twice daily with Mink caught being dealt with immediately.
Mink Raft, this one is not camoflaged but has been very productive.
