Have any of y'all have to send in the jaw of your otter?

For the DNR.

Registered my first yesterday, nothing about sending it in.

Well I got a letter from the DNR saying if your successful in getting a otter you have to send in the jaw of the otter like bobcat.

That's what the message sounded like to me when I registered, if you got a letter, they want your jaw(s). I did not receive a letter.

lucky, I wonted the hole skull.

Nice catches and pictures.Thanks for sharing.

That does suck. My first otter was when they still collected a lower jaw from everyone. That was a big otter, wish I had the entire lower jaw to go with the skull.

Hey k snow what is your favorite otter set?

I am a novice when it comes to otter trapping. Of the 4 I have caught, 3 have been in classic bottom edge sets, an undercut point in a small creek set with a 330. The other was in the fast part of a channel, blocked down pretty heavy, in an area with a ton of sign. All in 330s, tuned to be pretty fast.

Thanks I am going to use that bottom edge set, I am from Texas and never had a chance to trap otter.

Came close to my 2nd otter today. Had a pair play around my deep current sets. They ran all over the ice, couldn't find where they went in the water. I'll look more tomorrow.

I don’t know why they call these bodygrippers.The second one was caught upside down.Had one trap snapped with a 6ft limb halfway through.Strange day.

I tagged out on otter today. Number 2 is a 46 inch male

Three dummies on the ice today two in a trap and the other holding a spud.Hard to beat fresh air and sunshine.

Nice catches, Mad. Sure is a nice day to be outside.

Another beautiful day on the ice.

Way to pile them up Mad.. people going to love you saving all the trees.

Maybe we should start a go fund me page.

I pulled 2 more raccoons out of a place I get to turkey hunt in return for raccoon trapping. Seems last night's warm up got them moving a bit.

Good deal k.I haven’t seen a coon track in 6 weeks.
