Thanks for the response guys, its great to get out again and check out areas to trap, especially in a new area out here in NE Oregon. Am taking my mandatory trapper ed class now, and noticed there are many rules & regs out here. Between all the fed/state/private land land takes awhile to figure it all out. Will start out with what I know/remember for mink, rats, and take it from there.
Good trapping, DAS
