Just seen three small beaver lodges on a walk earlier,and a few muskrat swimming. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoy watching muskrats.They have a tough life.The other night I was out and seen 4 baby coons that appeared orphaned. As I approached them in my kayak,their mama appeared over the dirt bank and began growling.I speak fluent coon so began making the fighting noises of 2 big boar coons.knowing the sow and babies would run.It worked lol. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Forest of Dean has a few about, I,m sure there are others on here that remember them being walked about on leads at every country show you went to years ago, I think it was a change in law again that saw them being released, something to do with the scent glands being removed I think and no one wanted them after that which was when they started popping up in the wild 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
