Pretty cool setup. I've never trapped weasel for fur, just for pest removal. I use a 2" x 24" pvc pipe with a cap on one end, buried on a 45 degree slope and I add a little water (or oil in the colder months). Then I crack an egg at the opening. the weasel goes after the egg, cant turn around to come out and slides down to the water and drowns. Great trick for chicken farmers. Good luck on your trap line!

Thank you! Yeah we trap them for fur up here. They are pretty plentiful.
