The hole is just above normal pool level, water line is about 4 feet lower now. There is active beaver bank dens and looks like older muskrat runs and bank dens. I did see a muskrat swim out of the beaver den this morning. Is this muskrat scat or mink, not sure if there is any mink in North East, KS Last edited by bowhunterks; 03/15/22 01:37 PM.

Dont try trapping there though. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
