Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Predator managed

Noticed this river otter while on the treadmill last week, in the morning. Bad timing for the otter. Hunting and trapping season are open in Iowa right now, and I hold licenses! I was going to set a trap (for the experience) but decided not to wait, after watching her catch and eat several fish while I watched. The .22 magnum sorted her out. And yes, I was in my workout gear (including shorts) but didn't want to wait..



I have a size 12 shoe, for comparison...

As long as it's not camo, Sunil doesn't have to critique your wardrobe.

I feel like this is one case where camo is highly recommended, vs. just wearing it as your every-day casual wear.....which we (I) know you do....

One of the few predators who will catch fish, eat half and go catch more. Rinse and repeat. A big waste of fish.

Most predators are NOT wasteful.

I suspect that reflects how little effort, energy, and risk an otter must generate to catch a fish!

No wonder the pond owners that have them hate the cute little b*stards.
