I didn't plan on trapping for bobcat until a little later, but a friend of mine had a bobcat wipe out all her chickens. So I put a trap out yesturday afternoon, and got this little female today.

I don't have a good scale. I tried our bathroom scale, but It is some kind of digital thing, and I couldn't figure it out. :chuckle: ... im guessing all of 50 pounds. I'm going to get myself a scale, so I can quit guessing.Got my first otter of the year today. Little guy.....what do you figure that beaver weighed?

Weigh yourself, then get back on scale holding the beaver, and then we'll you know do the math it will get you within a couple pounds.

Did you step on it then it comes on, wait till it zeros out then get on it? That's how our digital one works.

Post by: Turner89 on February 08, 2016, 10:04:04 PM
He did some impressive damage, but after a closer look I could see where some of the wire intersections were rusted. That made it easier to break through.wow he did tear that up. Must have been quick too. ImpressiveWhat a bummer. Was that a dry set?no it was a water set. About a foot under water.

I do find it very unusual that an otter could do that much damage to a trap unless it could get air someway.
Post by: Turner89 on February 11, 2016, 08:48:56 PM
I have never had an otter damage a trap if it was underwater. If they can get air, yes they can do a number on a trap and 1x2 wire in a land set is asking for trouble.well this trap was at least a foot under water. I don't know for a fact it was an otter :dunno: by the size of the hole I assume it were an otter. Maybe a smaller size beaver......I don't know :dunno:.
I do find it very unusual that an otter could do that much damage to a trap unless it could get air someway.
Like I said previously......the wires had some rust. Regardless a beaver, or an otter, and some rust damage......it was impressive.
