Yup, I searched as well but couldn’t find anything so I used memory and cobbled a set together that just happened to work.
I think the principle of the set Houndone was to spud the ice open in fast water in the shape of an inverted “V”. I placed the trap(s) back under the ice right at the point of the “V” and the larger hole helped keeped it from freezing so quickly. I wanted to see open water & hear water moving. I did this where I found weak ice always due to a heavier current AND it helped I'm sure, where I would find where an otter used a hole in the weak/thinner ice. I’d open the hole in the form of a “V” on the upstream side and set the trap as I previously described. I also used some fencing in the outline of the shape of the “V” shaped hole I’d cut. Whether it was Boco’s set as he described or just my memory of what I thought his set was, it worked beyond my expectations and I certainly look forward to trapping otter next season.

China can consume a lot of fur. We will see.

Nice, are you doing the work? Mounted or carved?

We got an old bob sled like that in the pasture. Not much left of the wood.

Half dozen very nice Victor new style traps for sale or trade. These have the V in the pan not cut out like others. Complete with crunch proof swivels and chains. $50.00 a dozen plus shipping or I will trade for Sterlings, Jakes, MB's. silver coins, bars, bullion, rounds or old US paper currency.

Thanks for looking.

I tried those on top of DP'S
Didn't like them

Get well soon. Prayers on the way.

My two kids split it with the exception of whomever gets the dogs gets $25,000 apiece. I didnt want to leave anything to the grandkids because they are too young yet to know if they are going to be a lost cause

Congratulations folks! I'm happy people are getting on some birds. Thank you all for sharing.
