floating muskrat traps (cage)??
« on: March 05, 2012, 11:03:15 AM »
I'm still having fun with the colony traps for m'rats.  But I need to find a way to get them into a cage trap on large or deep bodies of water where colony traps don't seem to be of much use?  Does anyone have any suggestions or plans for construction of such a trap.

Thanks for the Youtube clip.  I've been experimenting some myself.  I've found a couple  of things that don't work, and one that works good for single catches.  I'd really like to find something that makes multiple catches.  I'm working on a barrel trap right now.
