I use my driver to punch in a hole first, his way I don't need to carry along any additional weight.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Nice otters. I can't believe the numbers you guys have down there. We are allowed 2 a year. Otters are literally everywhere in most of Georgia and Florida. We are blessed for sure.

Landowner says just a few weeks ago a coyote track was somewhat rare on this place...then last week some of the roads looked like a pack of dogs had walked them. Unusual deal 4 sure. Sounds like a hot female made a drive-by with a host of suitors in tow, or a surplus of fresh meat hit the ground. I would guess the off and on traffic was probably rut related since it was some time in January. Keep up the good work SW.

Fantastic otter location. Narrow stream blocked. Two 330s. One nice male today at this spot. There will be others here. Perfect spot. This is the time when otter love is in the air, and they're traveling many miles to find it.

Good deal. I don’t mind seeing an otter in a trap at all, unless I was planning on cooking what I caught I’ve tried otter, even cooked in bacon grease they didn’t last the taste test

Gettem swamp! Dang yotes. The best advice I got from an old trapper when I was starting out was “ You can’t catch what isn’t there” I think your catching what you have access to. Hopefully more will move in. Looks like you got your beaver back straps. Yum.
I'm itchin' to see a coyote twitchin'.
More trappin' and less yappin'.

I'll try to post a few terrain pics next few days so yall can see some of what I see. Bottom pic is what the sand ridge roads look like. There is a flat set in bottom center of pic. Top pic is the drainage into the river on opposite side of road where I blocked stream with Belisles. This is draining a large swampy wetland. See other pic of me in water with otter posted yesterday.
