MINK SNARES
PRODUCT NAME: Mink Snares.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Snaring is a method of trapping mink which is most commonly
done by trained trappers. Snares are tedious to and require
experience and skill when deciding where to make the set.
Snaring is very effective; a good set will produce immediately.
A snare is a cable which is 3-5 feet long. On one end it has
a connector which is used to anchor it to something heavy
preventing it from being removed. On the other end it is
looped back around to form a circle. It has a small mechanism
- called a cam lock - which enables the cable to move in one
direction but not the other. The snare should be set in
an open position over den/mound holes where mink are
active. Once set in place, mink which exit will stick their
head through the cable circle which will then come to rest on
their neck and shoulders. As the animal moves out of their
home they will be tightening the snare around their neck
with the cable which can't loosen. Expect to find animals
still alive for a day or two once snared.
TARGET ANIMALS: Snares are used for many animals although
these are designed specifically for small animals like
prairie dogs, gophers and mink.
WHERE TO USE IT: Snare cables can be set many different
ways. The most common is directly over entrance/exit
holes which lead into and out of dens.
RATE OF APPLICATION: This will vary from job to job.
Generally, the more snares set, the quicker you catch your
target animals. Try to make sets for as many holes that you
believe are active. This will insure a quick catch.
