I'm getting ready for our MN trapping season which starts on the 22 or 29 depending on what and where you trap. Who else here traps and what do you run a line for? I mainly focus on muskrat, mink, and coons. I will end up catching skunks and grinners also. I'll trap open water and then through the ice once it freezes here. I also want to start doing a bit of beaver trapping this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Beaver and mink for me, once everything freezes it's yote time. I run a line just because it's something to do in the afternoons with the kids and wife. And it give me a good reason to go scout for ducks. |

I agree, I've learned more by being out in the woods trapping than doing anything else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm a trapper. I trap about everything as the season rolls on. I will lay off trapping if fur prices bottom out. I use trapping to gain access to property. Beavers have been my best avenue. |

I used to go with my grand paw we trapped for nutra, muskrat, otter, mink, and rabbits from when I was a kid till he passed. This thread brings back many good memories! I learned alot about the outdoors from him! |

Been getting out some on the weekends. Still WARM here. Muskrats and beavers is all I've spent time on lately. I picked up an otter last weekend too which was a welcomed surprise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

60# 53# and a young'un that got in the way. Since the market is down I only chase the big ones. Last year's average was 53 lbs with 15 beaver. This warm weather has made for a slow start. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk |

Big beavers. Some friends of mine cooked one at the camp one night, they said it stunk while cooking but that it tasted good. Not as good as nutria |

Brine the meat in salt water for 24 hrs, changed half way to draw out the blood. Crockpot them with favorite bbq sauce for an awesome pulled beaver samitch. |
