wambamboo 1 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yes, I`ve put a couple of cage traps down baited with fish . Quote Link to post
woodga 170 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yes, I`ve put a couple of cage traps down baited with fish . your trap will be empty and the bait gone as the otter will turn your cage and they are very powerful predators iv seen them wreck traps before dont forget an otter is sometimes over three feet long a bit much for an ordinary mink cage Quote Link to post
