Spring Trapping

Trapping in the spring is a hole differ method and game as trapping in the fall and winter. Spring trapping only involves 3 species in this area which are beaver, muskrat, and mink. The reason it is different is becasue this is prime mating season for these species. Your approch had to be different then the fall for example the use of floats to trap muskrats that swim up on logs to mate. The most important part is not even out in the lakes or ponds but in your fur shed. You have to pay attention to your furs because once you start seeing holes in your fur its time to pull your traps. This is due to teritorial and mateing fights that cause wounds and makes you fur almost worthless.
