There’s a trapping season here in MO. I talked to my agent. He made it clear I “do not” want any otters near my pond. When the first five left they went to where all otters go in the afterlife. They are cute, but I dislike them immensely.
I'll make sure and say a prayer for them. I wonder if five of them is enough to make a shawl out of? You wife might like that. LOL
Thx, not so upset anymore. Disappointed and resigned. I remember a guy here a few years ago that was fighting otters down in Arkansas. All I could think of then, was I’m glad I do t have to fight that. Well… If the LMB can’t make a go of it, with the added cedar trees, I’ve still got a great swimming pond. Ha
Don't give up. Just feed the otters a high-velocity lead diet and they'll go away. :-D Then you'll have a nice LMB fishery.
On a side note, I have a 30-40lb beaver in the creek behind my house. My son and I see it nearly every day when we're down there fishing. It doesn't eat the fish but it has wreaked havoc with my willow trees. The little bugger seems to let them grown to about 20 feet and then in one night chews the things down. If I still lived in Idaho, I could make a beaver hat out of the thing but here in TN they're protected. I'm considering getting a bow and taking it fishing with me...............
