Muskrat, Nutria or Something Else?
« on: November 17, 2015, 08:53:41 PM »
Here is a good one guys and gals.
I got an email from a guy about a week ago and he ask me what I thought the critter was that is doing this.
He ask me if it was a muskrat or a nutria or could it be something else.
Before I gave him a answer off of the hip, I made an appointment with him and we went out today to checked it out.
What do you think the critter is?

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Are those turds? If so, small black bear or vegetarian otter.
