Colony traps are becoming very popular for muskrats because they have the ability to trap more than one muskrat at a time. Even though colony traps take up some space (there is a foldable version you can make also) they give you a great opportunity if you are in an area with many muskrats. Colony traps work best in around 1-2ft of water. If you find a commonly used run push the trap right down snug in the run( you shouldn't even need to stake it if it is snug down in the bottom of a run).
!NOTE COLONY TRAPS MAY BE ILLEGAL WHERE YOU ARE TRAPPING, MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS! |
