Muskrat trapping is said to be
less profitable than for several
years of the past, due primarily to
the severe freezes a year ago. One
trapper said that while he caught
an average of 40 rats a day last
season, his best results so far, have
been from s to IL in his daily visits
to the marshes. Other trappers,
too, are reporting a sharp decline
in the business which, if extended
through the season, is bound to
make surprising loss to the many
residents who are compelled to
brave all sorts of rough conditions,
but never heard to complain. In
this area several new trappers are
pushing the work where the older
men worked for years, and they
either retired or moved to more
suitable locations.
