Time's running out for ice fishing down south of the province so I thought that I'd offer up an idea for you fellas until you can fish open water. GOPHER FISHING!!!

Releasing a muskrat, now there's something that I'd pay money to watch!

I'm going to try it this summer out at the lake just for the fun/laugh factor.....lol! I think that the kids out there would love doing it in between chasing butterflies and catching frogs. It'd be fun watching them do it too.

Wear leather gloves just in case you catch an aggresive one.

You have a bigger set of balls then me. I seen what a muskrat could do to a german sheppard, I don't want anything to do with that.

x2 My brittany lost a good chunk out of his nose to one.....lol. He cornered the muskrat and when he went in after it it reared up on its hind legs and lunged at him. They're mean little buggers and I wouldn't be trying to grab one even with gloves.

glad to see i'm not the only one. my cousins and i used to work together in teams. one pair on the ground setting the snares around the holes and the other pair up on top a grain bin closing the deal once our quarry surfaced. two rods, caught twice as many critters. much better vantage point in taller grass when you're perched up higher. kinda like a hawk in the sky we figured. all when we were too young to carry a .22 on our own. never would i have thought i'd even see a video of this. good clean fun for sure.
