[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 172913, member: 1305"] Well the cause off the drop in the area my cousins trap a few years ago was very obvious and it wasn't disease or at least just disease. When rat populations boom shortly there after so will the mink population. By the second year the mink were getting more of their trapped rats then they were. Mink just swim up into the hut and catch them by cornering them in there. Then add in periods of shrinking water that always cause a fair few of them to be in to shallow of a pond to survive winter and you end up with a lot less muskrats for a while. [/QUOTE]
