Didn't replace the snare that snagged the otter as there is another snare on opposite side. Also not sure if Im at the main dam as there is so much tree damage from the last hurricane in this cypress swamp that I can't walk thru there to see....so its catch'em at this easy spot or not. Tore a hole in this dam today...we'll see soon if they're partial to that water level at this dam. Last edited by Swamp Wolf; 05/01/25 12:01 PM. Reason: Spelling error Thank God For Your Blessings!

Why i always went to them in the summer months as well as not have to fool with the 2 million snapping turtles at every spot. Not my circus, not my clowns.

I miss 99% of the otters in 9" or 10" loops, but other than loops size, I may need more tips. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

Put your lock at the 2 or 10 o'clock position, makes it less 'sensitive'. Otter usually slink on through pulling them down stretched out. Dang! I was hoping for some Earth-shattering info. I've been hanging beaver snares with lock at 2 or 10 for decades. That's probably why I've only snared 3 or 4 in 40 plus years. Thanks anyway! Also load my snares for a round loop....but that load will make the snare jump when its bumped at the bottom. Last edited by Swamp Wolf; 05/01/25 08:49 PM. Thank God For Your Blessings!
