No huts yet but seen them swimming along the banks.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I have never trapped muskrats where they build houses. This may sound like a dumb question, but from the sounds of it they only live in huts in the winter, then where do the live the rest of the year?

I think they just use natural cover in the cattails and reeds. Just like a rabbit would. The rats around here don't get in a hurry so they start building a couple weeks before hard freeze-up.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.
