I couldn't help myself. That's one of my favorites. Along with "Every mink runs tight against the bridge wall." "You can't catch another mink where you have already caught one if he lets off some of his musk." "I can catch more mink faster in blind sets than in pocket sets." "You can't catch mink in bodygrippers with any regularity." And on and on and on. LOL
Randy ... thanks for that input ... Like I said earlier in the post ... "I am making an effort to teach the young people coming up through the ranks." I can't help what others have said before me and I really don't care. I am not trying to be argumentative just state the facts as I know them, as plainly as I can and what works for me. I also believe that in most cases where similar habitat and other factors are near to what I have, the same ways will work.
At my age, I never know how many more years I have left to trap. I have a heritage that I believe should be passed on and a little knowledge about what I am writing about. The Good Lord has made trapping enjoyable, and at times profitable for me and I believe I should give back and teach others that may not have a mentor close at hand.
This is why I am writing the book on muskrats and muskrat trapping ... to state the facts as true as I know them. I am here to help.... if I can. ........ GArry-
