If it's a low water area with chances of the rats being froze out then I would catch them so they just don't die and waste,other than that it is better to wait until spring or if possible under ice trapping to give you the optimum fur and the best the animal has to offer,muskrats don't prime fully until the spring and with the market the way it is this will bring your most money and especially on the biggest rats of the year,hope this helps cheers Peter
