Muskrat bait or lure
« Thread Started on Nov 7, 2009, 9:07pm »

I just found an excellent spot where there are tons of muskrats running around and I don't know much about trapping muskrats other than they aren't that hard to trap. But my question is, what do you guys use to bait them or lure them in to a set? I have found one den, and can't seem to find the others, but see them everywhere. Would i be ok to just use fresh fruit or vegatables?

Fresh fruit and veggies will work. Instead of locating their dens find their feed beds and set those. Sorry I can't offer more not much of a rat trapper.

i prefer rat runs and den sets unless i find feed beds the the fun is on.a drop of popular bud oil on a feed bed will keep you up late at night skinning rats if your population is there
