[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 125227, member: 1305"] The tats go through a cycle and their population explode every time we get a big flush of new water and soon after the population of the predators that eat rats explodes. In ND that predator tends to be mink and it only takes them about a year to clear out most of the rats then their population drops and we reset the board to play the game again. We will likely see another rat boom over the next year or so when all the potholes that were dry refill and soon after the trappers will start finding rats in their traps that have been eaten by mink.
