I haven't seen any obvious areas of where they like to be right now. In the middle of winter the rats make their huts in the middle of the lake. Which end or where should I start to set traps? Thanks for the advice. Ya can't miss fur if yur traps are out somewhere. Or so I've been told.

I would be looking around the williows and grasses for signs of cutting. On willows rats just snip small, pencil width or less twigs off and it's hard to see without getting right up to the willows. In the grass you should see floating cuttings in ar d around the grasses Last edited by SNIPERBBB; 10/19/26 02:07 PM.
