Muskrat spent his formative years knee deep in the muck of every swamp
he could find, hunting possums, raccoons and wild pigs. He
learned
every trick in the book of swamp survival and evasion before he learned
to
drive a car, from sprinkling cayenne pepper in his tracks to
throw off his
scent and laying false trails into water moccasin layers, to setting
snares
and rigging deadfalls. Being chased through a swamp is nothing more to
Muskrat than a good time.
“The swamps in Louisiana are a dangerous place, infested not only
with every
type of poisonous reptile you could imagine but such ilk as poachers,
gator
skinners, moonshiners, smugglers and chain gang escapees. Muskrat has
held
his own against them all. Ranger School and JWTC*
were like summer camp to
him. As far as Muskrat was concerned he wasn't learning anything exotic
at
all.”
