We can keep 2 a year until the 600 quota is reached. I caught 4 few years back and had to turn them all in
Pretty excited he weighs 22 pounds and is 44 inches long. Fun day! grin

I also slipped on a muddy hill and fell in the lake and snapped an MB 750 on my hand, so if you had a video it would look like the 3 stooges. I was so glad I had a set of one handed setters, it was a bare left hand and I couldn't get that off quick enough, hurt a lot. Answered the age old question, does a trapper yell and maybe even cuss if there is nobody around to hear him? Yup!! grin

Nice Otter Flipper.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Way to go! Otter are fun! Looks like there are some shiny new traps and snares in the bed of the truck that need to be set.

Yes that is a very nice otter. The largest one I have ever seen weighed 25 lbs. They sure can get far into those traps before they get grabbed!
