Was lucky enough today to get another nice big otter that was my second of an Indiana two otter limit and my wife and trapping partner got a good laugh as well. I tripped on the beaver dam and fell flat off the back and landed in the cattails and the roots held me up. If I would have gone off the front I would have gone clear under for sure. I was very excited to get another otter, what a great day!!

Your gettin'r done. That's awesome Jeff!


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Perhaps Trapstickman will commemorate the event with an artful recreation of the dive! Nice otter!

Your wife is not the only one who found your mishap funny. Trapstickman found it hilarious.

Well, you at least didn't lite on your face like I did. I think our age might have something to do with very poor balance.
