Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted August 4, 2007 Root Admin Posted August 4, 2007 Someone asked me about trapping a neusance animal(s) on their dock on lower Taneycomo. Does anyone do that? They don't want to just shoot 'em.
vonreed Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Hey Phil, What do they want caught? Do they want it relocated or what?
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted August 6, 2007 Author Root Admin Posted August 6, 2007 I think it's an otter. They don't care what's done with it.
vonreed Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I might be able to help even though it is quite a drive for me. Is it coming back night after night? If they can't wait till trapping season they'll probably need permission from a game warden before anyone can attempt to catch it.
zander Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I would think it is probably a mink. Taneycomo has more minks than any other place I've seen, there have only been a time or two I've been to Taneycomo and not seen one, on the other hand I have never seen an otter there although I'm sure there are a few in there. Minks eat the same stuff otters do. Just my guess.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted August 7, 2007 Author Root Admin Posted August 7, 2007 It's a guy who lives at the end of T Highway. The animal is getting into everything and digging in the dock foam. It's either a otter or possibly they have a beaver and otters. They have talked to MDC and they said to shoot them. But they don't want to do that- would rather have them trapped. I'll be back next Monday- will get info from you and then get you in contact with the people at that time. Thanks

Thanks That's pretty good...the MDC knows best...just shoot em, that's one heck of an answer, lol. My friends say I'm a douche bag ?? Avatar...mister brownie bm <><
