I decided to go after muskrat in the creek near our house this year. I enjoy trying new stuff. I had seen a few but rarely. Since there are no muskrat "houses" I didn't know how to really go about it. After some research and a few youtube videos, I decided to make a couple colony traps and put them under over hanging grass ledges in a bend in the creek.
Yesterday we put colony traps back out after the rain last week and the snow storm. 4 nights out = 4 muskrats. This what is fun about trapping - you learn different animal habits and learning how to catch them. I mean, we got a rat to swim in a 6"x 6" x 24" box.
