I was just wondering if anybody has sold any muskrat yet, and what you folks were averaging. My season best a few years ago was 80….I caught numbers 70,71,72, and 73 today,,, possibly I may tie and even surpass my previous record. All my muskrat are put up,,, just so easy to skin and finish. Just wondering if 3-4 dollar average is what you guys were seeing

Push yourself just a little and break 80.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Does the rat wagon come near you? Came by here early December and doesn’t come again till April. Used to come every week until around Christmas then every 2 to 3 weeks. Haven’t sold any yet, gonna hold on to them till they reach 8 bucks average lol

Youll probably be lucky to get a 50.00 bill for 80 rats right now. A guy sold some around here and said $2 was tops, so the average will be probably less than 2 bucks. I'd think you should average better than two bucks on a nice collection of rats. Maybe not a ton better, but better.

Haven’t sold any yet, gonna hold on to them till they reach 8 bucks average. It's quite possible the heirs to your estate upon your passing will have a very long wait to achieve that lofty average. !!!  w

It's quite possible the heirs to your estate upon your passing will have a very long wait to achieve that lofty average. !!!  w That's what I'm afraid of! Some people play the ponies. I play the rats. I've got a bunch and the kids and I added another 600+ between Christmas and new years. Luckily I have a day job and don't rely on fur money to make ends meet. Maybe I'll lose my hind end and have to buy a sewing machine and figure out how to make bed spreads! Still planning on heading back out to the marsh if we ever get good ice. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2024/01/full-6087-203285-1000001275.jpg)
