I'm sure most all of us have heard of the spring muskrat mix. That's the time of year that mother nature makes the muskrats go nuts.

They wander around kind of aimlessly looking for new homes and can end up a long way from water, often in window wells. Today I got

a call from one of my commercial accounts to come and pick up a woodchuck. It turned out to be a muskrat that got caught in a cage

that was set for raccoons. I couldn't even figure out where the closest water was. The reason for the spring muskrat mix is to

prevent inbreeding. ( There is also a fall muskrat mix ) On an added note, I got four muskrat jobs yesterday. Four in a week is a

lot; four in a day is a first!

P.S. 34 degrees yesterday and my hip boots had a tear, and my waders and arm length gloves both leaked. Ahchoo!

I've sent 200 mailers for muskrats to lake house owners and no calls yet. I was sure there would be some seawall damage out there


Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!

If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

I didn't know that about muskrats. I just noticed that it is hard to find a given stretch of road by me without a very flat muskrat on it lately. I don't think I got 4 muskrat calls all last year but did have two muskrat in window well calls last week.
