It was a LONG, hard week we broke the 1,000 'rat mark. cool We just concentrated on 'rats, nothing else. IIRC, we caught around 10 mink in the conibears that were set for 'rats.

He knew different areas to trap than I did, we hit an area really hard, and moved the traps every other day or so.

I could skin a 'rat in less than a minute after that season.


Wow! 100 rats was a great week for me. I only had 11 110s. I would check them early evening, midnight and dawn each day.
