WANTED: Fur Hunters
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 4:29 am
Here's a new one,at least for me.Just had a call from a township supervisor saying the Warden would be out later today to issue my special hunting permit.For a second my mind processed all sorts of juicy,dreamy thoughts then I asked,'what kind of special license'? 'Well,for muskrats of course' was the answer.
Muskrats?Yes.I had been busy and gone a lot cause of illness in the family and wasn't aware of the serious problem the very high water is causing with rats.I knew they were all over-in the yard,on the roads etc but had missed the headlines in the local paper,the emergency township and county highway meetings,the Game,Fish,Parks state meetings etc.Turns out that in serious high water they get displaced like other flood victims.Unfortunately many then burrow into road banks and that is causing failures all over.Strange but true.
Anyway,I'm one of our township designated shooters I guess.A waste and a shame but.....????
