Muskrat Trapper

Muskrat Trapper

Delmarva History

Muskrat season opens the first of January. This trapper, Stanley Bennett of Mardela, works the marsh of the Nanticoke River. Trapping muskrats is dangerous business - it is easy to step in an unseen hole. Despite this hazard, most trappers work alone.
