Joey: It is hard to beat a 220 type killer trap. The Belisle is the best version of these in my opinion. If you do a search, you can find your state's regulations, you can also find a trapper's association, and possibly a trapper who could help you. Even if the state doesn't have a trapping season for otter, they may allow you or someone else to take one via permit. May be worth checking out. May not be if you are certain they won't.
