I have caught 4 before but has been 3 years since I connected. Used to be only about 200 a year harvested but they did just open the season state wide so I am sure the catch is higher. Caught in Licking County which is in the zone where I can only tag one. Season is over for me now. Last edited by VermillionCoon; 02/10/20 10:33 PM.

Yeah this is my fifth “keeper” and I have had to let 3 go caught in early season pocket sets is ver the last 8 years or so. Much tougher releasing an otter in knee deep water than a bobcat on dry land.

With regards to the put up I would suggest, for presentation, that on future otter you trim the belly side leg tags off and pin the entire leg to the tail side of the board. The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
