I personally like muskrat just cause it’s simple and fun. Other animals may be more valuable but unless you got a huge line you ain’t gonna make much so why not trap the simple fun thing.

Coyotes for the challenge of it.
Bobcat when our Midwest cats have enough value to be worth harvesting.
Those are the only 2 animals I've tried to trap other than some nuisance coons around the buildings.

Beaver and otter. The problem is in Indiana you can only take 2 otter.

Cats are by far my favorite thing to trap. We don't have much of them around here so sometimes it's an uphill battle. One of these years I'm heading where they are like possums just to say I did it.

I love to catch coons. We don’t have muskrats so coons are the fun and easy thing to catch around here.

I started out trapping rats and 55 years later their still my favorite. Cats are fun too as are otter. Trapping rats takes me back to when l was a kid.

Trapped everything when I was younger, now I pretty much just target yotes - trapping them gets me access to several farms to hunt.

Coyotes, then mink, then coon.

There is something pretty cool though about standing by a beaver dam and breaking open a big longspring to take beaver. Makes me feel like hundred years of trappers before me doing same thing.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Especially if they have nice fur!!!

Small young ones are nice too, better eating in my opinion.



Mark me down as red fox as a favorite.

Although skunk is nice too, smells like money to me.
