Warren Township, St. Croix County, Wisconsin

Willow River Wildlife Area

muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) -

Favored fur for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police winter hat.
Under pressure from animal rights groups, they considered phasing out its fur hats, but found muskrat is best for cold, wet conditions.
Two to three pelts are required.
