Because I am new to trapping and this is the only area I have access to so far, I want to be sure that I "strike" at the right time so as to get the best quality furs in the end and not waste the resource. We are having an abnormally warm winter here in VA with high temperatures of 55-65 most days. It is about to get much colder, with highs of 35-40 most days, gradually decreasing after that. How long will it take before the muskrats "react" to this change by growing more fur? Thanks! -Isaac It's a question of whether we're going to go forward into the future, or past to the... to the back. -Dan Quayle
