Oh yeah and Mink $3.00 to $6.00, White or Tan Weasels avg $1.25 and they were the absolute easiest to trap, skin and dry (only thing needed was a coat hanger to dry them) ... didn’t even need to set a trap, just a pipe set in the ground with about 6” of water in the bottom cause them fellers go down every hole they find (specially with a little muskrat scent) and drown when they can’t back out ... but if they aren’t drowned you earn your money sticking your arm down there to retrieve them.

Now that is one heck of an idea! I have tons of 4” ABS, glue a cap on one end, fill it with water scent it with musk oh and either make it easy to remove like having that pipe inside a larger one or tie some fishing line to a treble hook in the bottom so you can pull your prize out of the pipe, love it!
