This is strictly dry land. I have caught one otter so far, there is one more and they are very trap shy. I have blocked off all around the building and left one entrance with the traps in place. hopefully i catch the second otter. I am always trying to glean the wisdom from the more experienced trappers, so any tips for dry trapping otter is greatly appreciated.
Small cage in front of the tunnel opening and bait with half a apple , be prepared to catch a rat or squirrel tooYou can’t prevent them from showing up again and the tunnel repair ehhh that’s the homeowner problem
If you have the Permit, I wouldn't use this set up where the Kids or a Cocker Spaniel could get caught, but a place like under a House Boat where Otters are tearing up the Styrofoam, safe and out of sight it should work out nice. A little bit of "Mink Musk" will help an Otter get mad enough to take his mind off getting caught.
