I used a six ounce piece of riverworn granite. Shaped like a football. My sling is about 40 inches long. It only took about 10 minutes to make. I used two 50 inch pieces of non stretchy spectra cord(I took it out of my rappelling supplies, I use it to secure gear) and a piece of 2.5 inch wide nylon strap. Like a backpack strap only a little wider. That stuff is indestructable. I cut it down, cut holes for the cord. Added two brass grommets to spread the load of the cord. Used a lighter on the whole rig. Then bam. That's it.

English in regard to hunting your pest mink
I would not bet on them being far away mink are nocturnal I have only seen them at dusk and dawn and then only rarely they are a small target though.
here is my suggestion to find out if they are in your area
obtain some mink musk find a small stream that has a lot of muskrats once this is done find a very muddy spot make a pocket in the bank. Then in the back of the pocket throw a dead fish back Maybe even tie some feathers on a limb above the pocket so they blow in the wind squirt a little mink musk in there and go away come back every couple of days to look for tracks in the mud
I have found mink on streams right in the middle of big cities before any way make a bunch of these in different areas you will find mink

Reply #25 - Dec 1^st, 2004 at 4:01pm well mink still explore creeks by nature and they always check out their own musk not to mention fluttery feathers lack of muskrats just makes it a little more dificult is all

english Ex Member	Re: The biggest animal. Reply #27 - Dec 2^nd, 2004 at 11:32am I wouldn't have thought many game keepers in England would know about mink trapping, but who knows? I don't know many game keepers (I think of them just like the pigs - sorry, the police - and don't associate with either.)

That way when a crackhead breaks into your house and shanks your dog, they will come when you call them. Just a thought, like any job there are nice cops and some are assholes.
