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!

***** “Now that is one heck of an idea!” *****

Old School, set them in the Summer or Fall put a Rock on top and mark them then when Trapping Season rolls around and you are setting for Muskrat, Beaver and Otter as you go by just knock the rock off and every time you run your line just rub a little more Musk ...

If you set it right you will probably not need the treble hook (we never thought of that, we just reached in and grabbed them) Weasels are small enough to turn around in the pipe so a good leather glove down the hole and they will latch on to you and you can pull them out easy, the Mink just drown, so it’s more like picking than trapping.

All we thought of is not damaging the skin / fur, the treble hook may cost you money (and just something else to carry). We tried to make everything a drown set, it is more humane, marginals are in the bag not escapees, it is harder for Bobcats and Racoons to dig and pull your stakes and the skin / fur is not damaged.
