Congratulations . Caught one at thanksgiving & had to turn it loose. 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.

Good job of fleshing and put up. 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.
