(Out my way not only green grass, but sheep with their newborn lambs are grazing it). Last edited by beaverpeeler; 01/13/20 09:20 PM. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Clark trapper C Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,580 Duluth, MN	I always find otter toilets very difficult to set. When the water is soft I most often find them on low, wide banks of creeks with no obvious pinch point. When the water tightens up the otter run everywhere which makes them tough to narrow down. I would have set the dam break also and maybe tried to funnel them down for a bit afterwards and set another conibear there. Good luck!

Just felt like trying Ive trapped otter since 86 but always 280s 330s and my own 660 Belisles under Water or ice Also 22os on trails between swamps. The otters didn't come through again today.
