fishinwrench Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I'm thinking that her and her friends are leaving out the part of the story explaining how they were either playing, feeding, or trying to cuddle with the otter. Either that or they don't know the difference between a Honey badger and an Otter. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmidwest Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I am sure glad they brought them back from almost extinction. Such a valuable species.

When I am asked to get rid of them by a neighbor I do it with killer conibear traps. here is a 56 inch one.

tjm Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Isn't it unusual for there to have been a single otter? all that I have ever seen here or in the east were in groups. Mitch f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Males of breeding age are pretty solitary. Article said one or two. In all that excitement I'm not so sure I could tell if surprised. I can only imagine. I have seen them fishing on clear creek. Two mothers showing the young how to fish. I sat against a tree and watched them catch carp. It was a ravenous fight amongst them to who go the carp. I would not want one after me. They are fast and I am slow. I was turkey hunting in the fall and was armed. nomolites, Mitch f and tjm 3 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

tjm Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I guess I'm lucky that I never got attacked when sharing a mill pond with a group of otters and two pairs of swans, my rowed jon boat couldn't have raced either of them, and at the time I didn't have any idea how dangerous they were.
