Trapping is a necessity. We used to trap Muskrats and Foxes when I was young. The muskrats tear up the shoreline and do a ton of damage. The conibears are very lethal, almost instantaniously. The way you do it is set up your trap line during the day and check them at first light. The animals you're trapping travel at night and if you check it first thing in the morning you'll have a fresh animal. We would eat the muskrats and sell their pelts so nothing of the animal was wasted.
