About This Book

A practical manual for amateur trappers presents natural history of the muskrat—habits, habitat, diet, reproductive biology, and predators—then translates that knowledge into field techniques for locating and capturing animals in varied water and marsh conditions. It describes muskrat houses and burrows, seasonal behavior, and the animal's value as a fur bearer, and offers hands-on instruction on trap placement, handling, skinning, and the assorting and grading of raw pelts to improve harvest efficiency.
