Messing around with making a floating muskrat colony trap that can be very discrete in public areas.

Its out soaking right now. I will update when I can get back out there. Im going to make another one and see if I can figure out the balance of the flotation so it sit better in the water.

I like your design :tup:
I'm not positive, but I thought I heard or read that the rats are caught in the trap dont cause a bunch of weight. They are buoyant.
Can't wait for the update.

That would be great. I have it tied to a tree in case its sinks but hopefully that wont happen. Unless its soo full that it does then that wont be bad. :tung: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
