Buzzbomb that's just toooo funny!

Hookset, Ol' Bob's in my right hand alright. He was quite hung for an ol' swamp gopher.

In the "prime" of his life. Sick to think Bob and Larrisa were using my shack as a Motel 6!
Well after the "Wack a mole er' rat" incident, the ice was thick and no signs of additional rats... as of yet.

Do we have any songsters amongst us? Mabey we could come up with a muskrat original and get it onto the next American Idol. Mabey something along the lines of "Musksplat Shanty"

I have a 76 Lb black lab that hates muskrats after a fight she had with one. One was nesting in the seats of a row boat that I overturned to use for some duck hunting. Then the Dog vs rat smackdown started. That rat would not leave the boat. You would be suprised how much damage those little buggers can do to a dog. But the dog was toying with it, so if she just would have crunched it she wouldn't have gotten 2 holes in her leg and a one inch hole through her cheek, NOW THATS A PAIRCED CHEEK. Now she hates muskrat. If she gets a wiff of them out duck hunting she is hard to get her back on to hunting ducks.

Ya, i had one pop up the hole on me the first time out this year. wasn't expecting it, scared the S#!* out of me! He was just sitting in the hole looking at me for about 10 seconds. I had the ice scoop in my hand, didnt know weather to club him on not,(not a lot of swinging room in the portable) I thought it might just P!$$ him off if i didnt get him hard enough to take em out!

Well the deed is done! Decided to fish after work and lay out a couple traps in the shack. Opened the shanty door, and lifted the hole boards to find a fat little muskrat staring up at me. He bolted for a hole he kept open, so I decided to fish a couple hours..... The hours passed and the rat didn't come back. I set the traps and readied them in the hole, when UP COMES A RAT RIGHT IN THE HOLE I'M SETTING THE TRAP IN! Hey, it was my lucky day. I dispatched him with the ice spud, and prepared the traps again... Well DEJA VU! ANOTHER RAT! This time he's to quick for me and bolts back into the depths. So I wait a minute, feeling like one of those PBS polar bears on a seal hole. He makes the wrong move and comes up again. Like his compadra, he, (or she) is dispatched humanly with a blow from the spud. Muskrats - 0 Fat guy - 2 Didn't think I'd get them this way, but what the heck! I still layed 3 sets in the holes.... Probably a nest of them under my shack. A regular muskrat commune eh?

I believe I remember reading about a fisherman spearing thru the ice with his black lab in the shanty when a big northern swam by the dog went thru the hole after it and got trapped under the ice. Swimming around he found another fishermans hole. When he came up thru that hole the guy didnt try the door- he exited thru the side of the shanty

Well, you all know I was against killing them and it still bothers me. Sometimes I go visit them where they slumber and wonder about how things might have been.

Avalanche,

That did happen up in Minnesota. I've got a book around somewhere that has funny and weird documented things that have happened to fisherman. The other guy's iceshanty was really close to where the lab dived in. I seem to recall the lab was polite and shook himself once he popped out of the hole.

One of my favorite ones is where two friends stopped fishing together because everything they got together on the ice it rained. One day they decided to meet and there was no way it was going to rain as it was below zero. When the friend showed up -- you guessed it -- a warmfront came through and it rained.

BTW I have had a muskrat come up in my hole to several years ago on the Barbee Lake Chain in a channel.

I had one come up one of the holes in my shanty years ago. He just sat n the corner chewing on a cattail or reed or something and after a few minutes he went back down and never came back. It was fun to watch.

how funny, would have been a great fight on the jig line!!! Wonder what kind of bait to use for them.

No doubt now you'll have to take up trapping......LOL

crappie98 · « **Reply #84 on:** Jan 09, 2006, 09:27 PM »

Depends on the trapping season but if you have more than one hole put a conibear over one and then a foot hold right by the feed bunk or put it under the feed bunk. It always works well for me while trapping.

Barleydog · « **Reply #85 on:** Jan 10, 2006, 07:49 PM »

No fun Crappie98! I trap, but it's just not the same! Ya feel like a polar bear sitting atop of a seal air hole... You wait......and wait..... then WHAM! your prey comes through the hole. Gets the adrenaline going.
