Got the itch and had to set a few traps in an effort to get a little into water trapping this year. Wife and I had a good time trapping 'rats in huts back in college, so I figured I'd give it a got in open water. I've only got 7 traps out, and two of them are on a float. Have read on tman about floats not working for everyone, and it seems most people don't have much luck with them. Seems to me like the float is the way to go, it's been my best producing set. Have picked up 11 'rats since Sunday, one check per day.
Has anyone else been noticing a lot of bite marks on your 'rats? Wondering if I need to sew them up or just put them up as-is?
