Very nice ! Thanks for sharing

Impressive with your staking setup that the otter was only above water a few seconds and then down the slide. Yes I was wondering the significance of the one otter marking the mound etc. They stayed around longer than one would imagine when we hear about how fast they are and how much area they cover. The late coming beaver sure did not spend much time at the set.

Cool video. Was that all one night?

Cool video. Thanks for sharing.

Was that place full of otter sign when you set the trap and caught a beaver? I am amazed a beaver was able to beat those otter to the trap the first time based on how much time they spent around there.

Its a Browning Spec Ops, yes IR. The only critter it seams to bother on occasion is coyotes.

That was 24hrs yes. It went from 60 degrees in the morning I remade the set to snowing/30's the next morning.

No there really wasn't otter sign that I noticed. There is an active beaver lodge on the other side of the small river just out of frame of the video. The dam is 100+ yards away. I had some homemade castor lure on the mud pile at the takeout/trap is all I did here. (also had that dead beaver laying on shore there too he probably left scent)

Cool video and great quality too!
