Can't wait till I get to trap muskrats this fall going to be fun getting out on my neighbors john boat. When I go fishing I always see muskrats. I going to have to get more traps though.

Colony traps are awesome, cheap, and work great. I make my own too. Catch multiples.

yes they do.
Another option, if you have any 1.5 coil spring traps are these types of clips. They work great too

You'll catch mink in those 110s set in muskrat dens too
Yep I cant use certain traps on the guys pond because his dogs do not like guns so I have to use conibears and maybe colony trap or something i can tie a long handel to put on my trailer behind my fourwheeler to go trapping
