One moment please.
I don't see anything wrong with snaring muskrats. Newt has given a good description for anyone who would like to try.
However, I'm going to be, devil's advocate here, and suggest that snaring is probably not the most efficient way to catch muskrats.
Newt has concentrated here on catching muskrats on dry land. The snare may be a good tool for that, but how many muskrats do you actually want (or need) to catch on dry land? Newt mentioned the avoidance problems with bodygrip traps, but frankly I can't see that as being a
big problem. (Circle triggers will help that a lot.)
Also, please note that, as he has mentioned, Newt can't use foothold traps. Is necessity the mother of invention?
As I said, I see nothing wrong with snaring muskrats, if you want to, but I can't see this as an highly efficient or economical (cost of the snare) way to take muskrats.
