so R9's method is tried and true  dead on |
I've caught 100's of them that way.... almost any varmit can be caught in a blind set... all animals ( and fish) are creatures of habit.... with a little study and careful placement of said capturing devise.. they all can be caught.. rather easily...
and I have eaten them before... they are rather tasty ...slightly/mildly gamey.. but not unpleasant...very simular to muskrat...
