In winter when the streams and most of the water is froze over what is a good set that will take mink and coon

and what would be the best trap ( foothold or coni )

What state are you in again?
#1 1/2 coil is a very good foothold trap for both animals,as is the 160 as far as body grippers go.
If you have any open water,both animals,will gravitate to it for food.Pocket sets,or cubbies located there,should take both animals.

I go to Conibears in ditch/stream bank trails.I seem to catch my biggest buck mink in these trails away from the water.Coons have been denned up here for several weeks.
