A funny and very successful way to trap muskrats is to take a 2x4 or larger board, and chisel a small “den” out, according to the size of a small trap (I use number 1), and place the trap securely in the excavation, covering both the trap and plank with light earth. Then place the plank across the stream where the rats come. They love to run over the plank, and on being caught plunge headlong into the water and drown in short order, so that they will have not time to bruise or twist their legs.
