Nice video and check. It would sure help if there was an actual monetary payback for the work involved in trapping. Nonetheless, I envy your tenacity and love for the outdoors. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Hi Chris and Kenny!!😀😀 If it wasn't for the fun and tradition of rat trapping. It sure isn't worth the monetary return for the work that it is. Take care my friends!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al
Yup, that's fine if your just sitting there, we need to paddle, set traps, put in steaks, reaching into icy water all day so maybe no hand warmers for the trappers.
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching you guys run your line. Have you ever trapped for fisher and/or had any success? I'm starting to gather info and gear for when I get a tag.
The glands are used for lure making, the fur is used for garments...mostly lining, and the meat feeds cats, dogs and is used for bait for other animals...some people eat it too.
This canoe may have been tippy but Ken didnt seem quite as miserable as the last trip. I don't know if it is just the camera but they all look so small compared to rats around here. Like half the size...I heard Kenny comment on them being smaller on this line or do you think we might have bigger ones because of the climate down here? I have never done the float sets but have only trapped creeks for rats in the past. Thanks again for bringing us along to see the hardest possible way to ever earn 33 bucks a piece!👍👍
I have a couple that have been busy outside our back door the last several weeks hauling plants back to their den. I will see if I can get some video this week so you can see the size we have around here. I even had one on a deer trail cam a month ago. What it was doing in the middle of the woods. I have no idea...Hope you both have a great holiday weekend!
All I know is it seems you guys enjoy every second of life whether it's work, razzing each other, hunting near and far that will keep you together and Young forever. Kenny from Western North Carolina enjoyed a great outdoors.
The rats in this lake are smaller that the others in this area. We are close to the Horicon marsh area which produces the biggest and best rats in the world...I am told. I have caught a lot that I had to stretch on raccoon stretchers because they are longer than the stretcher frame without pulling.
We get rich selling them! Haaaa! They are sold to buyers for the fur market, most get used in Russia and other countries that wear it a lot....coats, hats, lining, mitts...
Lewis and Clark at their best. Thanks for taking us along.
Yup! Thanks!
Couple of days late watching!! Great video!! Thanks for taking us along!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks for coming back!
You guys are amazing, all the hard work you put in and you have fun doing it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You gotta be doing something all the time, might as well make it fun!
You guys are amazing two hard working men. God bless.
Thank you!
I enjoy being outdoors. Thanks for taking us along 😉👍
Thanks for coming along for the ride!
Hello from Chicago! A good show idea would be to show us how all these different traps work.
Will do! Thanks!
That was a lot of work but fun to watch! Thank you for sharing my friends!
Thanks for visiting, lots more to come!

Agreed! But it still pays better than hunting and fishing!
Awesome Chris and Kenny we lost our Muskat to the minks in the 709 . Taste the same as organic black ducks 🦆 Muskat in Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪. 😊
Yup, mink can smack them down!
You do it for the love not the money😁
Yes but some money helps!

You got that right! Kinda like cutting firewood!
Na,,,, but It don’t matter
Cold hands versus #10 coffee can with a roll of toilet paper for a wick and 90 percent alcohol=
That's what my cousin uses in his tree stand.
Yup, that's fine if your just sitting there, we need to paddle, set traps, put in steaks, reaching into icy water all day so maybe no hand warmers for the trappers.
Ya them work good, 😢till it’s out 🤣

Yup, Ken has caught a lot of them.
Hi Chris and Ken good work love the video keep it up ( Ty Ron
Thanks, will do!
Good morning guys can you tell me what the end product for the muskrats is ? is it the fur or meat
The glands are used for lure making, the fur is used for garments...mostly lining, and the meat feeds cats, dogs and is used for bait for other animals...some people eat it too.
22 pint off bottle Muskat meat 🥩 with turnip and carrot 🥕. 😊
It is very eatable!
What’s that, havin a beer with ur meal
Take a bottle of rooster 🐔 foot 🦶 100 proof Tks Kenny . 😊
Haaaa!
I've caught lots of fisher in the past
This canoe may have been tippy but Ken didnt seem quite as miserable as the last trip.

Rats cross open ground a lot in the spring especially ....looking for love and new habitat.
Yup, we do love to trap hunt and even fish as much as possible...out is better than in and with some one is WAY better than alone.
What do you do with the muskrats
We get rich selling them! Haaaa! They are sold to buyers for the fur market, most get used in Russia and other countries that wear it a lot....coats, hats, lining, mitts...
