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.

You can keep the ice up there Bruce.lol We been dry all fall but it looks like it will start raining Wednesday and not shut off for a week. You just have to adjust to conditions. I also got 23 rats today. Can you use colony traps in Maine? Way to go.Yes you can use colony traps in Maine..I should make some more up.

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

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.
