One muskrat, nice sized and had a good layer of fat on. "in the midst of a savage wilderness to depend entirely upon their unassisted strength and hardihood"

Its barely 20 yards from the back door, makes for easy checking. "in the midst of a savage wilderness to depend entirely upon their unassisted strength and hardihood"

Last year I took 4 buck mink in a 50 yard stretch. I add a few traps up and downstream every day. Its fun to play on. I've caught a fair number of otter in there also.

k snow OP trapper Joined: Oct 2009 east central WI	Originally Posted by Muskratwalt Nice ! You got any trout in that creek Kyle? I have only seen two in 8 years. Used to have quite a few more, before they rebuilt the state fish hatchery at the headwaters. Neighbors tell me there was really good trout fishing 10-15 years ago, before they rebuilt the highway and put in a box culvert also. We are a class II stream.

Plenty of natural points for BE sets, no need to carry big rocks in. Work smarter, not harder. "in the midst of a savage wilderness to depend entirely upon their unassisted strength and hardihood"

You could catch more mink there then you realize. That it is. Frogs everywhere. I will be setting it heavier, and further up and down stream, this year.
