Sturg Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I saw this otter the third weekend of the deer season near Hibbing. How do you trap an animal that seems to be here one day gone tomorrow? They are superb at catching fish, I don't think they go hungry.

RangerJack Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 How do you catch them? I'm sitting at 3 out of 4 this year so far, and I'm not even trying to catch them! Set a conibear in cricks leading to and from lakes or rivers, and you will catch otter. Most beaver sets are capable of catching otter as well, because they share the same habitat. I'm in central Minnesota, and we have otters all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random guy Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Otter tend to be a creature of habit. Once they return as they always do, they will use the same "toilets", same slides and use the smae beaver runs they did before. Basicaly Otter is either a waiting game or a deal of chance when trapping beaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapperdirk Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Just to add to what Johnny said . Always set abandoned beaver houses too . One year I pulled 11 otter out of one house and it continues to still produce . I named it the crack house . LOLTD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
