Muskrat trapping in New York marshes by Frank Miller
In vast inland marshes near New York, trapper Frank Miller and two assistants manage about 400 traps daily. They expect roughly 4,000 muskrats for the season from November to April, with catches varying nightly. They use long stakes, house and trail sets, and winter ice methods, pursuing skunks and occasional mink for added value.
