Thanks guys. Was a fun season, learned a lot about open country trapping compared to the timber I have been for the lprevious 7 seasons or so.

Went out yesterday to scratch the itch and put in 8 muskrat sets in 2 different small sloughs. All were lured/baited sets which have become a favorite of mine for muskrats. Checked today. First spot 2 muskrats out of 3 traps. Second slough I had made 5 sets all within probably 30 yards of each other. The slough is not much bigger than that. I had a live buck mink that didn't drown in the Victor 1.5 long spring and was waiting on the bank for me. He had stunk up the area bad. Guessing that is why no muskrats in the other 4 sets. He will get tanned along with the muskrats.

Awesome!!!!

Good looking dog, congrats on the catches.

Thanks, as a German Shorthair she specializes in birds but fills in nicely as a trap line dog. Although on the water line she's more of a hindrance than anything but she has fun!

Nice, nothing gets me pumped more than seeing a mink in a trap
