Title: floating muskrat traps (cage)??
Post by: wags 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.

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.
