Here are some pics of what to look for when scouting for otter. There are also pictures of there latrine sights as well. The pics also show what types of areas to look for the latrine sights. I hope this helps.











I hope this helps DH

nice pics..we have a few but its illegal to trap them here.

nice

DH, great pics. Something tells me you already have a trap picked out for that spot come nov. 15th.

You know thats right. The guy wants me to get rid of them now but i told him i will have to wait until season if he wants it done for free. And now he's all for waiting till season.

I think ypur post of locations, sets, and sign are great. It is teaching me a lot.
Thanks

looks great man !!! if ya dont mind ill try to get a few pix on here to add to ya otter sign thread .... i have shots of fresh otter droppings, as well as older like in ya pix ... i also have sum shots of otter tracks ... and weed twists (where otter roll in weeds and twist em up)

here is a toilet on the lake, they were using a open hole in the ice. when I saw it, I rode back 30 miles to the cabin, got some 220's and rode back to set em..

I've also found fish heads at these holes in the ice along with droppings.

thanx for the tips

thanks guys gary add away this way the kids have some knowledge of what to look for when they are doing there scouting. this and your pics will increase there chances of connecting. On these otters. I really appreciate all you do for the little guys gary. You are one of the best.

Here's a pic of an otter toilet on top of an abandoned beaver house. He is going in and out of the hole to the left. MB 750 prior to covering. He was able to exit the house into the river below the ice and catch fish. Then he camped in the beaver house for quite a few weeks.

thanx deer ... i appreciate the nice comment .... i see alot of people on here such as yaself that go out of their way to help trappers out on the right foot !!! here ya go ... not sure of the quality since they are digi pics of 35 mm pics ... hope they help otter tracks, fresh droppings, old droppings

Great set up white. Did ya ever get him. Gary that will give them the best chance of trapping otter if they know the sign thanks for the added pics they will help.

ya welcome deer ...sorry i couldnt find any other ones ... ill look for more and add em as i find em ....when i get time

Thanks gary! I really appreciate it when you guys pull together to help the guys reduce the learning curve. It means alot to me if we can get and keep the young trappers. It will save us in the end. Our trapping heritage means alot to me. Thanks a million

White 17 can you say 220 laid right on top of the hole I think I described the set to you when we met in ANC. That is my classic set and the conis do real well on them see
before


After

Great shots. Thanks Otterman

Actually Todd I don't own a 220 but will this season. I had an otter get dinged by a 330 just down river from this location. I think we talked about that in ANC also.

In this set I kept catching foxes so I pulled it as they destroyed the set-up. I was really trying to take a wolverine that had investigated the set-up just before I set it.

Otterman, that thing is beautiful! nice dark fur contrasting the snow.
