Otters

[XP 590]

I forgot to mention in my last post about the otters I saw. When I was fishing down at Barclay I saw at least a half dozen otters. Since they are moving around it's hard to say exactly how many I saw, but I did see 3 pop up at once all together, then a few on the other side, and they all looked fat and happy. That's got to be having an impact on the fish population in the Niangua. Mike from Riverfront shuttled me that day and he said he's seen lots of otters in there too.

Any comments and information?

, there seems to be a few down there helping to "manage" the fish population too.. Couple or three bald eagles as well..

Just curious, is there much of a market for pelts nowadays? I was a Fish and Wildlife biology major at Mizzou back in the 1970s and had classmates who trapped. They got decent $$ for their pelts, but, of course. it depended on what they caught. For instance, what would a prime otter pelt fetch these days?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure on the price but I'm thinking Otters,Beaver and Bobcats are your top 3.
