If you placed those mines just in case, would wildlife not trigger one from time to time? How long until they would be mostly gone? And how long do they survive in the wild until they become unreliable or dangerous to handle? How hard would it be to replace or remove them if no longer needed?

Depends on your mine. Some are now programed to explode after say three months to avoid the problem of them being a threat for a long time. A lot get laid just in time by drones rather than staying there for ages.
