I found this on a log on edge of Beaver swamp we have been trapping. Any body know what animal it may be from? It was about size of large peanut. Thanks

From the color, I would guess canine. I think beaver crap in the water. Take a sniff, that should tell you.

It looks pretty small I'm thinking muskrat droppings.

Muskrat poo log. Looks like a bunch mashed in a groove by the center circle. That's where I catch most of my swamp rats. A number 1 to 2 sized foot hold placed right on top should work. If the trap sits funny and ya need to make the rats move over it some Dobbins #1 or Hudson seal oil smeared on the other side of the trap will get the job done. I have 6 feet of cable on my rat traps & can usually loop it to the log at the set. If not cut a pole & the pole & lure can be place to make the rats go over the trap too.

Definitely muskrat. Put a #1 long spring in that log and put the poop on the pan. Make sure you wire it to something.


If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

A medium size muskrat!


The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

No muskrats yet. We put out more sets today like you guys said. Also found a whole in bank with a bunch of green stems of grass sticking out of it. Set a 110 in front of it to see what happens.
