The muskrat builds, swims, and multiplies in every marsh, and Arno Schmidt shows how to trap it in open water and under winter ice. He covers its habits, the methods that work, and even the idea of ranching it for fur. A focused, practical guide for the marshland trapper. Everything the fur-taker needs to know about a humble, valuable animal.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
