It's killed 4 ducks in less than 48hours and badly injured 2. I've moved then to garage till I can get rid of this thing somehow. Weasel, Mink, Fisher Cat ??? Hope link works to video.

So very sorry for what that varment did!

I think that's a mink.

Regardless, I'd set out a live trap for it, well camouflaged as they are hard to trap. The best bait is fish, fresh is best but canned fish like tuna or salmon etc. works, or raw chicken.

Good luck! I hope you get him but there's probably more where it came from. And again, sorry about your ducks. That's so sad!

Definitely a mink. If a live trap doesn’t work you can try a 110 body grip trap. That is a killing trap though so you’ll have to take it down when your birds are out and about.

I do too! Let us know! Mink pelts are worth money or you can just release it in the woods somewhere far from where you are.

I have had no luck in the capture of this Mink. I have not given up. Will try different tactics.

I leave poison out. Fly bait in a little saucer of milk. I live on the edge of a woods, plus there are other wildlife areas all around me. You should also put a scent deterrent around your perimeter. Peppermint oil spray, cougar scent,...
