I no sooner get rid of a bunch of beaver and muskrat and the otters show back up! Shot 3 tonight. That last one was huge. Hopefully, they'll be floating tomorrow or Tuesday and I can remove their carcasses. On the brighter side, there's nothing like target practice with live targets to keep you in practice. Anything within 200 yards is dead meat!
Nope, but animals that are nuisances to land owners may be dealt with, just cannot harvest their hides (per local DNR officer).
They beavers and muskrats I understand. Do Otter's do anything that's a nuisance other than eat fish?
approximately 20 lbs a day per otter, they can decimate the fish population in no time flat. With those three alone, this 7 acre pond could be totally void of fish by the fall.
