ive read books about guys that will take muskrat legs and other meat from the muskrat and use it in pocket sets and dirthole sets for mink and coyote


PETA is stupid.

something real simple for predators is grind up some gutted rat carcasses. you can leave the livers in. add a couple of those sweet smelling male glands on the abdomen of male rats in the spring. then freeze it. thaw some out when you start trapping in the fall.
