Mac, I like parsnips they stay white for a while, like to change bait every two days,the lure I use says it has rat glands in it, my dad used to rub glands on the boards, he said that’ll get em going.
Bryce, there are bites , I would call about 10% damaged, some others have some damage but it is expected in spring.

I know nothing about float trapping, but if you have a spot that has caught 3 doubles, why wouldn't you being another float or two and catch like 6 at once?

Carolina, I have tried that, and sometimes it's just more hassle than it's worth.

Just two rats and one small beaver today. Pulled the rest of traps today.77 rats and 3 beaver in 14 days, was it worth it, it was to me. I’m fortunate to be in the position not to have to put a dollar value on everything I do.Just glad I was able to do it,Thanks for riding along, sale day Saturday.
