I trapped one in buddys pond a few years back and the next day we caught a bluejay in it! Not sure how that happened!
I think Im going to start trapping wolverines. I know a great spot.

I managed to catch a mallard drake in a muskrat trap last fall.

Hooked a rat with my jig yesterday, battled it for a second then cut my line, not wanting to fight with it if I got it in.  |

I knew it was a matter of time before you would chime in JD about eating them! I know some trappers that eat their catch, but mostly beaver. I have a copy of a MI recipe book that was originally publish sometime during the depression that has some various recipes. |

Very popular south of Detroit in the downriver area. When I fish down there for eyes and perch you see the signs at vfw halls and such for muskrat dinner. Them rats are everywhere around the Banana Dike and Point Moulee.  |

Yeah, Andy, they are everywhere down there. You always see signs for rat dinners. Speaking of downriver, it is almost time to get out there. They were getting some perch in your one spot recently, not sure if it is still going.

They were getting some perch in your one spot recently, not sure if it is still going. Ive confirmed the perch through a friend. Theyll be there for a couple more weeks tops so if ya get a chance run down there. Plenty of shorefishing opportunities. Best spot is southeast of the bridge at the bend. |
