Well my first 2 round body grips showed up today. I went with the 3.5" diameter hoping to tube set them..
My idea was to fit them to a 4" chunk of black pvc anchored parallel to a creek bed bank.. pre season stuff it with bird seed and straw to attract mice and hopefully get mink working the tube..
Come nov 10th put a round body grip at each end and try to snap a mink in one
They are not big enough for a muskrat but I wanted a RBG to see what they are about
And I think 3.5" is a perfect diameter for mink

Set up 4 tubes today. 2 high on the bank and 2 down by the creeks edge.. this will require 8 RBG to be effective
But just for pre season I did stuff a couple cups of birdseed inside and pack with straw..
I made Ubolts from threaded rod ( I had available) and anchored the tubes
I raked the areas clean so I can see animal tracks and I hope the mice working the tubes will attract a mink or 4 lol
Ill monitor on the weekends and add birdseed and straw as needed
