Any of you ever run a trap line? I am thinking about taking it up this season as something to do different..

I've never run my own but have gone on a few with buds. Remember you have to check them everyday, that can be a daunting task. It's pretty cool though.

Ask Dr. Speckler, didn't he get into it last season?

i started running traps for muskrats down the drainage ditches around the house.i dont really know much about it but the trapping part is easy for rats just have to find their active trails and holes and lay a 110 rat trap in the path.i started last year a few weeks before the season ended but i skinned and stretched 7 rats.i hear you can get almost the same price for whole frozen muskrats because the buyer can see all the imperfections when skinned and stretched wrong.pretty cheap hobby to get into and my first muskrats will be sewn into a fur hat for icefishing.

Thinking the same thing swamp. If we have another pathetic winter like last year, I will need something to do to pass the time. Been many years since ive really been exposed to the sport so im just going to ease back into it. Just need to get some traps and scout out some areas prior to the season.

What's the going rate for mink? Some friends of mine used to get them while trapping rats in the creek right behind their house.
