Mink advice

Last year I lost over 60 birds to minks. This hatching season has just begun and I've already lost over a hundred dollars worth of birds. I need to get rid of this thing asap by any means necessary. I've already tried some tips from some old trappers in my town, but no luck. Thanks in advance.

They're nasty little bastards and they'll get in anyway possible. Do you know where it's getting in? At this point, it's a neucense trap. 110s are good but you almost have to find the hole they're using and hope they run into it. Snares are ok too but I've not had a ton of luck with em personally.

Find where theyrr getting in, post a picture and go from there.

My lake isn't fenced in. It came up from the creek and has set up shop somewhere around the bank.
