I was wondering how an otter would do in a cage, I had my suspicions it would be a battle just based on the rats I have caught. It seems if they can see daylight like a shallow water set with no cover I find they have bitten the cage a lot and they usually have there teeth locked around a wire and I have to pry them out of the trap. All my sets with cover like grass on the trap or tree cover they expire in one place and I can simply open the door and they fall out. My thoughts were if I catch an otter with that same behavior pattern I better have a stout built cage or some good cover over the trap maybe over time when I get to trap some ill make a log of their behavior once caught and how the trap was set. My buddy got one otter so far this year in a comstock set at a pinch point no tree cover no grass or anything over the trap and that thing TRASHED his trap! Broke the trigger wires bent the trigger rod bowed the doors so hard they were jammed shut he pulled the trap took it to the truck and pryed it open with a hatchet to get his prize catch out! How was yours set just curiose?
