Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Muskrats!

Conibear 110's are pretty easy to set for a grownup - open, set the trigger, and place on the ground (underwater works fine) in front of an active hole; easier IMHO than muckrat sized legholds. The classic third option is a boxtrap. 110's can be set at pretty much any depth, the other two are supposed to be under enough water so the 'rats drown.

110 knock-offs go for about $5 here.

Check Nebraska's trapping regs to ensure legality (for instance, trap tagging, trapline check frequency, and staking requirements). Here in Ohio, no license is needed for lnadowners on their own property, if the muskrats are taken during regular trapping season. Some states have nuisance permits that allow trapping them at any time, IIRC.

P.S. Sorry TJ, I thought Bski's link covered the actual trapping info.
