Good to read, I find very few theories about the drop in population of these two furbearers and even fewer people who seem to care   :yike:

This is actually a nationwide thing and this theory holds water at first glance  :tup:  it is too bad that muskrats don't have wings like a bat because then the WDFW would be falling over themselves trying to correct the problem

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
