Derek,
Thanks for taking the time to help! Can you go to google and their image search and type muskrat trap and maybe you will recognize your trap there? Then you can find the link online and post picture or post back what you found? Did you put the trap in the water at the opening of their 'run'? Did you bait it or disguise it somehow?
We did see just this week a pair of mallard ducks in the early mornings. The dog wants to chase them but they keep coming back. I agree a flopping duck would get me an urgent call from my wife
I do think it is possible the muskrat are not there now but I need to be sure. I haven't seen any activity in the water unless it is only when it is pitch dark.
My banks are a mess by the holes!
