Just a set I got off of Amazon. I think they are Annke or something like that.
Gettem Law dog!!!

When I lived in Idaho, I found an otter toilet. With no defined slide to set a coni, I put a foothold near the toilet, with a short chain so it couldn't mess up the toilet. I just did a dirthole with a fishy bait, and fish oil making a trail to the dirt hole over the trap. My thinking behind the fish oil was it would be a trailing scent to get the otter to go over my trap. Caught a big male on the first check, remade the set again doing the same thing, and 2 checks later I had a female. The limit in that area was only 2 at the time so I pulled, but left a trail cam. After 2 weeks I pulled the cam and had otters every 2 or 3 days. So that showed me that I did miss otters with this method, but was still able to get my limit.

I came close to dropping one through the ice last weekend but I drilled a 1" hole and pounded a bolt through instead. Bolt was through the last link on a 12'ish chain, drag was clipped on at ice level just in case. I was worried about the cable fraying on the edge of the ice. Buddies going to check tomorrow. If it hooked up I'll get him to take pics.

Congratulations on a 5 cat run. I’ve had a couple 4 cat days in Kansas, 24 hour checks, but never 5+; that’s awesome, again congratulations.
