In the zone that I'm trapping it opened yesterday. South of here it opens on October 15th.
No, they won't start being prime until February so 2 weeks doesn't make a difference. You will only lose about $2 less per pelt before then but you can make up for that by catching them in big numbers during the Fall. Also, a lot of the rats that you catch in the Fall will have already died if you wait until they are prime. In one location that I'm trapping they wouldn't even make it until then before dying.
