Muskrats are the biggest curse of owning a WRP tract. They will turn any levee they can find into swiss cheese, in time.

The ONLY reprieve/solution is to find somebody willing to go in and trap the bastages out.

Last winter before freeze up, we had an agent that trapped 329 rats in a 60-acre marsh next to mine. He did it in just 2-3 trips. The marsh froze before he could get to mine, but taking out that many rats in our bottoms is like letting air out of a ballon.

I only pray he gets back down there again and traps as many rats as he can. I can't thank the dude enough for his efforts.

Like dog or somebody said, most of the guys in the field are good folks. It's the idots in Jeff City I don't have any use for at all.
