I have a mink on my land and its eating all of the fish out of the lakes. We have tried everything we can think of to get rid of it but it still comes every night and eats more and more. I would be very grateful if anyone can give some advice to deter the animal from my land thank you.

Mink traps (live catch cage)are commercially available. They should be placed in areas where evidence of mink is seen. I personallly use sprats as bait, place bits of fish around the area of the trap to encourage them. Places to look for evidence are in reed beds, under bridges, in drainage pipes, under tree roots and even up trees.
Traps can also be burried into a bank where mink are known to frequent.
Do not place traps on water line in case of rising water.
Always state the traps down, as trapped mink will go ballistic, this prevent them rolling down the bank in to the water.
A traped mink is not the friendliest of creatures, so keep hands and fingers out of harms way.
Traped mink should never be drowned as this is cruel, shooting is the safest way to dispatch them.
