Saw another otter yesterday morning but was in a rush so didn't have time to fetch a rifle. This otter swam differently - head popped out of water briefly then reappeared about 75 yards away. No real chance of a shot with my pistol.

Staked the pond out this morning and saw no sign of otter.

I figure the otters must have a circuit of ponds they hit. Saw some prints in the little runoff creek that my outflow goes into and that feeds a larger creek. Set several 330s today and will see if I can catch one of these interlopers.
