I came across this muskrat a couple of days ago. My guess is a mink did it but I figured I would ask to see what you guys think.

I'm still a newbie but trying to learn as much as I can. Why would you guess weasel? My first catch trapping was a weasel up in Montana and I know they are around down here but I haven't actually came across one yet.

Not much eaten just around the neck area.Have seen weasels do that.When I had mink do that they ate more.Have caught quite a few weasels around muskrat sets as well.

Owls used to get a few from me. Now I make sure I set so they get under water fast.

Weasels are vampires. Mink often goes through the neck and eat the heart, leaving you with a pelt with an extra large mouth hole.
Raccoons leave you with a flat skinned pelt.
