    Traps are soaking

    Well just got home from setting 9 doz traps for muskrats. My body is killing me and I can't feel my legs. SHould have a few rats tomorrow seemed to me that theres a few around. Will try and take some pictures out on the marsh and as well as the after math of what we got.

    Pictures to come tomorrow night around this time maybe alittle later due to tides

    AHHH,
    I remember those days well! Middle of the winter feet were well so numb I couldn't feel my knees! Back then @ $5 a rat I made a lot of money!
    Good Luck John!
