RE: The American mink (Neovison vison) is found in almost all parts of Norway (and in many parts of Europe as well), and has spread from captive fur minks that have escaped their cages

but they use cage + bait, then check the traps each day, and shoot the minks they catch, or release them if it has caught other species.

Cage + bait is a good techniques, as it creates no damage to other species. In case of feral dogs hunter mostly shoot dogs. Other interesting thing about hunting is that the hunters don't get reward if they don't cut the dog tails and show them as a proof.

We have the same thing here in Norway with foxes; the hunters need to bring the rear legs or something to get their bounty. I suppose they must bring proof of the minks they shoot as well. I wonder what happens to all of these animal parts that are used to claim bounties :P
