If you are wondering what the stakes are around our ponds and ditches, it is to mark out traps that have been installed by licensed trappers to remove muskrats. Each stake marks a trap that has been set near a muskrat tunnel. The muskrats burrow into pond and stream banks and cause them to collapse and eventually we experience significant erosion problems. In our new ditch on the 17th hole, muskrats already destabilized the banks and we now have to repair it. All trapping must end by March 15th per the law and all traps will be removed.
