The spoils of trapping!

I have eaten several Muskrats over the years. They are actually very good eating.

How are you going to get enough bait to trap cats if you keep eating it all?

Thankfully there is still enough trimmings and other random parts from fleshing beaver that I think I think I have enough bait for the season. I just have a hard time letting that much good meat go to waste considering how good eating beaver is. The tail doesnt seem too appetizing so that is getting used for bait as well considering they arent worth anything.

I don't know, "overcooked duck" isn't all that tasty.     I'd try one though. I've wanted to try guinea pig too.

I really want to try guinea pig.  I have watched a few tv shows where they eat them in Mexico and say they are amazing.

Muskrat AKA Marsh Rabbit are very clean animals, vegetarians and they are good eating.  Back when I was trapping I used to eat them along with Nutria, and beaver.

song dog I thought muskrats were vegetarian also but they aren't. Best bait for rats is a rat leg, they also eat clams. I have also seen rats chase ducks and they weren't doing it for fun they were trying to catch them so they could eat them.
