Otter control laws

[RonG]

I had a racoon try hopping in the back of my kayak last fall in the dark. This grandma kayak-er got mauled by an otter.

I read the article as well. Growing up I was really into windsurfing. I took a trip to San Fransisco one summer with my windsurfing friend. While we were there he got chased by a big mama sea lion after getting too close to her cub. It was probably a fall and die situation. Fortunately he didn't fall.

Hopefully I don't need to start beating the IL muskrat off my kayak.

Those guys have been friendly to me. I've been aggressively harassed by beavers in the kayak. One guy liked to swim right up to my yak, in my blind spot, and do big tail slaps and splash me. Scares the crap out of you when you don't even know the buck-toothed freak is even there.

Wow, pretty intense. Though I am always amazed by their work on the rivers/lakes. That, in my opinion, is some of the best part of kayaking, is getting to view all the wildlife. The muskrat, the heron, snakes, turtles, deer, etc. Of course it helps when they're not a'holes to you~

You would like deer hunting. I've seen otters beat the absolute shit out of each other while i watched in stealth from a tree.

I've deer hunted. Used to go in Iowa for a number of years, but that was typically group hunting with a number of people pushing sections to others waiting. Didn't do any tree stand stalking. I want to get back into it, but have no IL connections. Maybe I'll just follow you up your tree haha

[catchafew]

but have no IL connections.

PM me, I did a ton of scouting on some fairly decent public land and got a 130bc 8 pointer once... Granted it's been years but I'd know exactly where to go if I got back into it in IL? Scouting is 70% of the work.
