mrcobaltblue trapper Registered: 12/22/06 Posts: 270 Loc: Central IL	Muskrat - Victor #1 longspring den run in a small pond. The muskrat got caught and then drowned trying to get back in the hole. Approached the set to see its back feet and tail sticking out of the hole. My best friend was with me - we couldn't believe it. That was like 37 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday.

Ole Hawkeye trapper Registered: 12/25/06 Posts: 6558 Loc: Oregon	Catching coyotes and cats with my grandpa doesn't count, so a coon in a beaver set. My next catch was a beaver in a coon set. Then I went and asked a water trapper to teach me how. Edited by Ole Hawkeye (11/03/09 08:36 PM) _________________________ I'll hang on to my freedom, guns, and money. You can keep the change
