Any pics of the otter?  Only seen one in the wild, and that was in Maine.

Cool. Must be snow isn't belly high there yet. Lol

Saw a huge one 2 years ago cross the road by a swamp culvert.  

One of my favorite days trout fishing years ago I watched three of them playing in a stream along a mud bank. Cool animals.

A river otter is one animal that I have never seen, in all of my travels hunting and fishing on the North American  continent...I have seen fresh tracks on local trout streams, and one day while trout fishing my partner, who was a couple of hundred yards upstream of me, had one swim right past him...I have seen fishers, martens, wolverines, and wolves  in the wild, but never an otter..

My Sister owned a house in Westchester that had a pretty decent pond that was river fed. A family of River Otters took home in it. They were super fun to watch but ate most of the fish and moved on.

I saw an otter on a front lawn in Clarence Center, almost drove off the road. Theres a creek nearby that runs into Tonawanda Creek

We've had otters on the farm for years. There is a large creek fed swamp, with some fairly deep holes. That is where we always see them. Got a couple stands in that area, and seeing them out there, usually in early bow season, is always a highlight of the day! Otters are in my opinion, the coolest critters we have around here.

Otters are cool animals.  Ive seen a few over the years while trout fishing. One time, one kept swimming past me , back and forth, over and over--I think-- to see what I was doing .  Cute little shit but screwed up my fishing cuz I'm sure he scared the fish away!!  Theyre inquisitive creatures, for sure.

No photos but I had a couple mounted years ago. They usually travel in groups so it’s best to gang set for them.... unless you only want to trap one. Their fun to trap. Very cool critters but bobcats are still my favorite .

Neat critters.   The one I seen in Maine was sliding down a snowbank into a creek. 

[SpacemanSpiff]

I have seen them up on the St. Lawrence while small mouth fishing. Very neat animals

Got a group of 4 living near one of my stands. Got a cool video of them swimming together in the creek. Took another video of one breaking through the ice and coming back up with a fish. Love watching them
