Its surprising whats not in the books. Had a few interesting calls with law enforcement at DoW on some interesting nuisance trapping issues.
Civil laws are another issue entirely

Back it down a notch or two, chief. You've had opportunities to meet some of us in person and haven't. Usually the people talking the trash around here know eachother. There is ALOT of I side jokes around here that come from beyond the keyboard. Carry on but let's stay in our respective lanes.

Maybe we could come kidnap you. Bust through the door, grab you and throw her a kohls gift card.
So what are they doing with all the trapped mink? Is there a mink version of Coyote Ken around?

For $500, we'll come arrest you on Friday, in full uniform and in front of your wife. We'll tell her you'll be released on Tuesday, but you're a person of interest and we have questions that need to be answered. This fee includes a fishing license, cabin rental and the use of a boat with a full tank of gas.

From what a hear of people don’t take them they are all along the roads I will confirm later today
I'm sure some of them will make it to market. Several will probably end up as wall hangers. Likely arent quite primed yet so the prices wouldn't be good on the general fur market. I think last year ranch mink were in the 20-40 dollar range at the SAGA sale

Right now theres an animal activist going.

The point for them is the damage to the farm. The mink are just collateral damage to activist. They hate humans more than they love animals

I believe it. The farm should be insured though so hopefully it doesn't hurt them too bad.
I don't hate mink farms, but I've always hated what the abundance of ranch mink has done to the fur trade and trapping as a sport. Wild fur like raccoon prices have been in the crapper for a decade due to the abundance of ranch mink on the market. One of those things where early on people made good money and it was the thing to do, then everyone started doing it and swamped the market which drove down prices for everything. Suddenly ranch mink was less valuable than wild raccoons so buyers bought mink. Now its become a numbers game to make any money which further floods the market and depresses prices. I don't like to see anyone's hard work get vandalized, but also secretly hope the ranch fur industry as a whole goes to shit.
