By victor barn trap--do you mean a rat trap? If that is what you men,nope never used one .To many real muskrat traps out there to mess with a wooden trap ,that wontl last long once it is wet .
I also catch a lot of mink, coon and beaver in the #1 stop loss traps I use for muskrats--you ain't going to get any of them in the wooden rat trap.
