Muskrat



This post needs a late pass from the hall supervisor, but regardless, here it is. We did not successfully harvest any beavers, but we did get a muskrat. It is possible that the beaver moved on from what looked like an active lodge. Muskrats seem to have filled the void where our friend from the nickel once played. There will be more lodges to try out though, in fact I stumbled upon one in the quarter section north of where I am living, I just need to try to get permission from the owner. This one is certainly active, so active in fact that the ice above a run was only an inch thick.

If all goes well I will get to try my hand at fleshing and tanning this month.
