Saw the first rat huts of the season on Monday. They better get a move on the way the forecast looks.

I have an area that is normally loaded and there is a one in sight yet. I am sure they will show soon.
Wish I had more time to trap....

They have been building for a couple three weeks in the fertile farm ground areas. They will ramp it up after.this front moves through

We have so much water here the rats will have to rent out their current digs to their less fortunate cousins when the water drops a month from now and they have to rebuild.

Rats seem to be more scarce here this year. I checked 5 smaller ponds, that I usually can between 5 and 10 rats a year from each pond and still leave a couple for seed. Walked them a few days ago and saw NO sign what-so-ever... All that was there was sky carp.
