How about the wooden box flipped upside down over a hole in the ice baited with a carrot. You insulate the box with snow and keeps the hole from freezing. I can't tell you how many boxes I dragged out on the ice when I was a kid. I did actually catch a few rats, and my second otter ever in that set... It still wasn't worth the effort.

any of you remember the little trapping pamphlet s stanley hawbaker use to put out also called the trapper,use to be a lot of decent info in that... my father had a small stack of them i use to raid... fit perfect right inside of a school text book... make the hour of study time each night seem a hair more bearable and kept you safe from the surprise door openings to check and see if your nose was still in the book... jim

Yes, I remember Stanley Hawbakers tips.
I have Daileys trapline tips. Pretty good information.

yup they sure were ... see bill kasten still hands out russ's... but other than that... hardly see them, from anyone these days... the trapper was a little quarterly hawbaker was editor of and put out... he would have the market reports, buy fur if i remember right and always had adds in there for buying old pistols.. for ten bucks or so a piece... remember reading a few mink articles by shelton one of the contributors to his trapping north american fur bearers... cw curtis, think i have the initials right, an old goverment trapper from out west and a few others in there... jim
