Great pictures of great catches! Lots of good memories there. Otters are my favorite furbearer to trap, and I have caught a few over the years using 220, 280, 330, snares, and foot traps.

Thanks for the pics.

TJ-You have to be the Otter KING! I wish we could unleash you on our ever increasing (CRAB EATING! ) sea otters down here. Furry water locusts. Decimating the crab,urchin,and abolone stocks. But that's a topic for another day. Nice job. Impressive production.

I hear you on that one. The sound is crawling with the dang suckers also. They need to do at least a drawing hunt on them. The current system is pretty ridiculous.

Trapperjoe, you obviously know what you are doing with the otter. Looks like not all of your sets are blind, what are you using for bait/lure to get them to come in?


5. Oppose unscientific and inappropriate legislation pertaining to the management of furbearing animals.

Ok... Wierd. I put this on the main forum because I figured there might be a few people there who would like to see the pics, but don't visit this board. So, was there a problem with that or something? Are Alaskan Trappers only allowed to post on this board now?

Most of these pictures are allready here in this board.

While I doubt anyone who asked questions while it was on the main board will actually find it over here, I'll answer them anyways.

All sets are blind sets. Once in a while I might put a little bit of lure here or there, but I personally doubt that does much. The vast majority of the sets are made right on sign where it is apparent otter are traveling. Often I have to fence it down a fair amount. Occasionally I make a set in an "ottery" looking spt where there is no tracks or evidence at a the specific location, but I can tell they are in the area.

I thought the snare pictures were pretty cool myself...

That is very odd. I would ask. Maybe they didn't know that you had posted info for us here too.

I think it was moved because some complained the pictures were too graphic I guess. Whatever.

Anyways, I'll let it sit for a few days, and then once it drops down I'll delete it to get rid of the duplication.
