If you could only use one trap to trap muskrats with, what would you choose??

#1 long spring set up on a drowning rig. IMO, a CS has too much power for the fine-boned legs of rats.
Wife: That's the 4th time you've gone back for dessert, doesn't that embarrass you? Me: No, I keep telling them it's for you.

A 1 1/2 coil spring. With the springs weakened. But a colony trap In the right situation would out shine all the above mentioned traps.

If you trap a place with a lot of rats,a couple funnel traps in the right places are deadly.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I've always had a hard time getting #1 longsprings to fit right in muskrat push ups, #1 shorties work ok but I only have a handful of them. Planning on trying some Duke #1 coilsprings this year.
Dog faced pony soldier and proud of it!

No doubt about it, a 160 body gripper.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.
