Nah, not going to post a picture but thought I would mention I caught another male otter in the same set as the otter above got into. That was on Monday.

Nice !!! Were they in swim throughs ? I got my traps in a couple channels in between damned up ponds and there's otter crap on the banks and I n spots of the channel the bottom is clean from their bellies rubbing so I put them there with dive sticks and alls I got so far is one beaver so I'm still hoping for one   :tup:

I figured as much I was surprised with the beaver it weighed right at 58 lbs and it bent the cage up like a banana and took awhile to get it out of the trap which is a 10x12x42 swim through
