Trapping Season 2025-2026

Muskrat trapping is a lot of fun! Pretty sweet skinning too

I wish every critter was as easy to skin and flesh as muskrats!

What are they going for this year?

What are they going for this year?

Not exactly sure yet, but I’ll be happy if I average $2.50 for them. I’ve also got a buyer for the carcasses at $1.50 each… So a $4.00 average would be respectable I think. Still a far cry from $10-12 from a decade or so ago, though. There’s an OSTA auction coming up in a couple of weeks. That will be pretty enlightening I think.

Fruit loops?

I don't have to worry about catching my land owner's barn cats with fruit loops. It's a working house farm and they have some cats that live in the morning hay barns. Two boars and two sows this morning

The two in the trap next to each other gave me a mental image

Fruit loops work great! Nice catch! I sometimes put a lifesavers gummy on the trigger at the bottom of my DPs… seems to make the raccoons dig a little harder to try and work it off the trigger.
