I see in the next issue of Pond Boss the topic of muscrats will be discussed. This is good timing as I shot one yesterday in my new pond. Could you all chime in and tell me how they negatively effect a pond. I assume that they will root into the banks ect. I have a liner in my pond with a foot of topsoil on top of the liner and the sides. Could they get to the liner easily. It was easy to shoot as i just had to wait for it to come up, can i expect many more of these, the pond site is pretty active with fishing and the kids swimming in the summer so hopefully the activity will encourage them to leave?
