On the February 2023 cover, the painting of the otter does not appear to have the correct feet. The feet look like they belong to a rodent like a muskrat.

Show a pic of it.

That's funny because I noticed that right away when I got the magazine. B o c o if I could post a picture I would. you will just have to use your imagination.

I googled it-I agree with your observation.

When I got my magazine I was also wondering what I was looking at. Feet were wrong for otter. Looked like muskrat feet also. Then thought mink but unlike any I caught. Thank for clearing that up.

Those sure aren't otter feet.

It says "Southern Otter" which must be a sub-species!

Does look like Muskrat feet. I took a pic next to a Goodman print I have. Either way Fur Fish Game always has the coolest covers.

Probably, doesn't have many teeth either.

Now that is funny right there!!!

Looks like the hind foot of a muskrat. Hmm.

Thanks Chris. I probably shouldn't be encouraged though. lol

The missing link.

That remark seems prejudiced toward people without
access to proper dental care.

Whats next, a wise crack about how this
southern otter mated with his sister to
produce a genetic mutation ?

Yes. A crosslink. A hybrid. A new species.
Kinda like a Chupacabra.

Must be a female cause it's a "Motter"

Maybe Hal is the cover artist too?

Andrew Hutchinson is the artist. Looks like he lives in UK. Also looks like FFG uses a lot of his pics for cover art.
