I bought my first boat with money earned from muskrat pelts.  They were fetching a good buck, back in the early 80’s.  It didn’t take too many to pay for the used 14 ft Starcraft super-duty rowboat and 9.5 Evinrude that my neighbor sold me.  
 

I had one conibear set, in the ditch that drained a swamp into the creek behind our house,  that produced a muskrat each day of the season, except for the one when it caught a hen mallard (which wasn’t bad eating).
