This guy would climb up on your lap, but he was cautious, always on the look out, but comfortable enough to hang out with you if you sat on the step. He would gently take food from you, knew your finger from the food. At first I was gloved, but he never was like that at all, no problem if you wanted to pet him, he'd stay half under the porch but totally enjoy the attention.
By the same token, when I was a kid, I used to spy one at the edge of the field, so I'd put on thick welder gloves, and or another pair under them, just in case, then I would flank him, get close enough, but between him and his hole, he'd stop right in front of me, I'd pounce on him, rodents you have to pin from the back, but when I picked him up, those vice grip chompers bore right down, he was not a happy camper, smart@ss that I was, bet I could do it again, caught him 3x like that.
I spotted a muskrat near my culvert and he'd undermined one side, had him trapped in there, he'd come out, I'd scare him out, cat and mouse, so I rammed the other end, that got him out and making a run for it, up stream, planted my foot, and instantly reached in and clenched onto him from the back, never let up, tight grip like a snake would use, over quickly, no more undermining at the culvert, been nice if I had a firearm, but you make use with what you have, prior to that was walking down the hill, one of those slapped the water and was treading quickly across, had my M1A(M14 civilian version) springfield with me, .308 tossed him like a burger end over end landing on the bank, was always good on the draw with that heavy ole rifle, fit me well and just love shooting it, rarely miss anything with it. Overkill but you use what you have, and was better than fixing that culvert, again LOL.
