For a newbie I was quite pleased to pick this up on Sunday. Got her tagged this AM at the DEC office. Weighed a hair under 15 pounds. Pics doesn't show it, but the fur is full and nice and thick. Didn't measure the length. Will get her skinned out and put in the freezer tonight. Got to buy an otter board too!

2labs.... and others, I try to be an honest and forthright guy but....sometimes the devil gets the best of me... :-O
If you notice....."to pick this up on Sunday"......that is literally what happened. I picked him up on the side of the road. Only damage was to the head and very little at that. I was passing through a zone where otters are legal so I whipped around and picked her up. I was still happy as a kid in a candy store. People driving by must have thought I was starving and grabbing something for the pot. LOL DEC tagged it without any problem because of the area and me having a trapping license.
