I look forward to our exchanging days on the line- have some thoughts....
Took a ride yesterday over an area I want to expand my mink line in. While the area is very familar to me, I haven't trapped it in the fall. I'm going to add this loop as a 3rd mink line next fall-
Because of the locations on some of the streams, the potential competition and the foot traffic, I'm planning on using 110s 100% on this line. That way- no live mink to worry about, no coon on the bank, no theft, no nosy Lookie-Lous to worry about.
Now- is it the considered statement of BE trappers that it would be RARE not to be able to set up a location using BE sets? In other words- in a mixed run of streams, rivers, marshes- say 40-45 locations- as a rough guess- how many do you feel you could set up bottom edge sets on?
Do you set up all potential sites or do yo ujust have to pass some by?
