I have a deal with my wife to leave the otters alone and let them destroy what's left of the existing fish population that was there from before we bought the property. It's almost completely decimated at this point any way. I figure when there are no fish left they will move on. In exchange, when I do get the pond stocked, the moment an otter shows himself I can take care of it as I see fit(12ga, 20ga, .357 air rifle, etc) with no questions asked.

I'm just wondering if it would be safe in your guy's opinion to go ahead and stock FHM and if there would be any danger posed by the otters still being there. I don't figure the buggers would waste their time with minnows but thought I would ask the experts.
