Anyone have experience in catching a mink? It has killed 11 of my hens so far. I dug out my summer coop to relocate the remaining 13. Set 2 live traps loaded with raw meat and it picked them clean overnight. Even with meat on the trigger plate and behind.

you have to tie a piece of rag to the trigger so that they'll pull on the rag to take it with them that'll set the trigger off

Well, it ended up just not taking the bait eventually fished it outside of the trap and triggered it. I'm now the proud owner of a very aggressive pet mink. Any other ideas other than camping out with a .22?
