Good job.Looks like you might have a couple blacks in there.I used to get extra for them.If not,,I would skin out round like a beaver and tan them.

First muskrat I ever caught was in a cross-over for nutria. I wasn't even sure what a muskrat was back then.

Good to see you getting 'em. Looks like fun.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Oh man, you said the "ice " word. Lol. I'm heading up that way on the 13th. Was hoping it would stay open water by then. It's a pain breaking ice with an aluminum canoe and the whole world can hear you coming.
Guess I'll concentrate on beaver and get my marten boxes out. Looks like ya did good. Get them while the waters open!

Thanks for sharing your trapping time. I have enjoyed the thread. It brings back many memories as a youth trapping rats.


Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Good haul Bruce, any ice today? Do you ever catch any mink in your muskrat sets?


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.
