Feral American mink hunting is primarily nature management. Mink are an invasive species that cause major damage to Norwegian fauna, especially seabirds and freshwater fish.
Trapping is the most effective method. Mink traps are set along waterways and on islets where mink travel. Floating traps that drift on the water are particularly effective.
