Should Hoosiers be allowed to trap river otters for their fur? http://indy.st/1sEHhVu Personally I say no....

the reality is they are being unintentionally trapped now and turned loose or often the carcasses being handed over to DNR when and otter is caught in a drowning rig set for beaver or a body grip trap. The same set that will catch a beaver or coon will catch an otter. I support the regulated trapping of otter.

Done as well. i"m in the support category on a limited basis. Probably like most on here, I know of several places that have otters.

They are another "success" story. I have a buddy that lives in SE Indiana, and has had problems with them in his little pond for years. He finally got some dogs that would keep them out. He has several beavers on his property also, and they got several acres of his corn, and his neighbors corn. We talked about trapping them, but decided to hold off till next year to prevent accidental otter catches…..a year before we are legally allowed to catch them. We don't want to catch them all, or even try. We just each want one to have to mount. If our new fur bearer biologist didn't think they could take a limited or quota type trapping, he wouldn't do it. Like Chevy said, people been catching them for years by accident and it has in no way affected them. My feeling is trappers will have to check in their otters like we do deer. That would give the DNR a good idea of how many are in an area, and being caught. Full support from this old trapper!
