Hav-a-Hart. we just lent ours to our nephew, so i can't set it back out, but i hadn't seen any critters for a few weeks and the bean patches have been left alone since i plinked one good with the air rifle. then the other day one was at the front of the bean patch eating the clover. i'd never seen one run so fast as when i opened the patio door to plink at it again. never was able to get a shot off. they may not see very good, but they can hear. i think it must be a groundhog because i don't think muskrats get as big as this. what do you do with them when you catch them? are they good eating? songbird I've eaten groundhog and it tasted somewhat like chicken but not quite as good. I had bagged it with a bow and arrow while at a friends hunting camp. I was the only one that ate it and the rest were eating fried chicken. |
