Is it legal to shoot Muskrats in Minnesota this time of year? I have checked various govt. web-sites and I can only find trapping seasons. |

From the Hunting booklet......
Furbearers • A person may not disturb the burrow or den of any wild animal between November 1 and April 1, without a permit. • A person may not take pine marten, fisher, mink, muskrat, beaver, or otter by firearms or archery hunting. However, a firearm may be used to dispatch an animal already taken in a trap. |

Quoted:
If they are a nuisance , the DNR will let you shoot them I told the person who invited me that if they were to contact the DNR they may be able to get permission to shoot them. Their responce was, "there is a gray area in the law".  I said their may be a "gray area" but I would still call first.
When it comes to hunting/firearms, I try to follow the law the best I can. I'm sure I have broken a law somewhere. |

Try grabbing one by the tail...;) My son recently finished his rabies shots. This one time (not in band camp), I tried to sneek up on one thinking I could step on it's tail and whack it with an axe handle. Needless to say, things did not work out as planned. Them little buggers are MEAN, and don't take mess from nobody regardless of size. Like a shrunk up badger....
