    Hope the spray foam keeps your hunting shack cooler for you and possibly even warmer when it gets cooler.
    I agree with you about the otters. They will definitely clean out the creek of the crawdads and little fish and then will head to the pond when that supply runs out. They are definitely something that needs to be dealt with soon.

    Wow Daniel your helpless against the Otters using traps, etc, as you have dogs and other animals, even deer roaming the creek plus the pond area. I used spring traps for otters, and they worked awesome, but placing them where you must is dangerous to your pets and deer population. Take them out the fast way, BOOM! They will empty your creek and pond in just a few weeks. They don't hibernate, so that's not helpful. Blessings to you all!

    We always called those grass things "grass burrs". 😊

    Dispatch the otters and just tell about it later. Don't let them get to the pond!

      Or just do it and maybe not mention it at all. If he's out in the area on a video again, he can just say that they don't have any issues with the otters any longer. People can then fill in the blanks however it makes them happy.

    FYI, River otter season is December 1, 2023 until February 29, 2024. It applies to hunting and trapping. Tagging of taken animals is required.
