So yesterday checking my water line I noticed a new spot that finally thawed out a little. So I went to check it out and about twenty feet from the waters edge I noticed a hole roughly 8" in diameter with otter tracks going in and out all over the place so I went to the waters edge to find any submerged entrances. I found two and started poking around with my stick to check water depth and if it was a big enough run to set one of my swim throughs in, while poking around I heard something inside and immediately looked to the whole on land and wouldn't ya know it an otter come shooting out of that 8" hole and made a mad dash for the water, he dove into the water not more then three feet from one of my traps. Even if he had dove into my trap I suppose he'd of gone clean through it as fast as he was moving. Pretty cool experience though.

This little guy makes four beaver so far this year. On the last two checks I've had one trap tripped with nothing in it. It must be a big boy,well that's my story any way and I'm sticking to it!lol.

Well yet again today had a trap that was tripped with nothing in it. However it was not the one that has been getting hit and runs but rather my top producer this trap alone in the same location has produced 1-muskrat, 2-beaver and an otter and today tripped and empty. Im contributing the problem to the 16" double doors folding in to the trap, minimizing the empty space between doors. My steel order finally showed up so I'm gonna get started on building a few more swim throughs but the doors will be hinged on the sides which will give an additional 8" inside the trap. Once I get a plan drawn up I will make them so the doors swing from the outside to the inside.

So yesterday me and a friend ran my lines only to find that I had two cat set tripped and three water traps tripped.  I decided I wanted to scout out some new area that I spotted on google turned out to be full of beaver and otter sign. It's quite a pack in so we each grabbed one swim through a piece and got them set out. Cool thing was is I was working the bank in about waist deep water when I spotted something sticking out of the bank. This Is what I dug up. They've definetly been there a while. I cleaned most the rust off of them.
