Weasel Boxes
« on: Dec 03, 2011, 03:20:30 PM »
Got bored this week, so I made a few weasel boxes and set 3 out today. I wanted to see if they have turned color yet . Does anybody else mess with the little guys ??

I used to do a lot of trapping, both here and up north. Haven't done any, other than a little beaver trapping, in probably fifteen years. I miss it and I'm hoping to be able to get a few fisher and bobcat sets out next season. I've never really targeted weasels but I've caught some over the years. It does sound like fun though. Good luck with your weasel boxes!

Well after 2 days, the count is 5 mice, but that is ok, they are putting some scent in the box. Have to change the pan setting tomorrow when I freshen up the bait.

Do you ever get a mink in these type of sets?  Seems like they would work good for mink also.

Weasel are a ot easier to catch than a mink! Mink dont like to go in to a hole that doesnt have a visible exit hole too.
