It's surprising but a male Mink will travel over 5 miles a week looking for receptive femalesUnfortunately that's mother nature for ya.
Used to feed my family on the furs I'd catch every year until the fur market crash then I couldn't see taking an animals life for that petince.
Back to the Bobbie, I caught a beautiful cherry red, red fox right after a snowfall.
I knew a mangey pack of yotes went thru and was following them, unfortunately they hitched my trail right to the first trap.
Could tell there was a catch but notta sign no hair, started rummaging thru the leaves and found hair next I found the fox.
Nothing eaten of it just hair stripped from ears to its tail, what a shame there went $125 bucks.
There trail was heading off to more of my dirt holes over the knoll I went with 5 yotes all of a sudden standing up and bearing teeth, I had a little female in a trap.
No gun, but a shovel and a 3lb sledge with hoe Welded on the one end.
They started to approach grabbed my hammer and shovel and banged them together luckily they split.
Took another one ofem with a bow while deer hunting.
Might not of been the same pack but none the less one less.
It takes a coyote 7 days to get back to point b, that's how big a range they have.
