When the days are short and the prairies are snow covered, somewhere in some state, you will find Rich Kaspar trapping muskrats. He has the frozen sloughs and marshes to himself, as the “open water boys” are long gone. Rich lives on his own terms and his own schedule. He traps for a living. “I’m not trapping to make a video. I’m trapping to put beans on the table.”
1000 Muskrats in 10 days. Rich Kasper is on a muskrat marathon chasing high dollar rats. Rich uses a system that includes floats, bank sets, colony traps and body-grip type traps. On a working trapline, Rich gives instruction as he piles up muskrats in huge numbers. Filmed in Nebraska and South Dakota.
