[from old catalog]; Game laws. 362 Andersch Bros/ Hunters and Trappers Guide. sliding down a small maple pole, which was lying partly in the water and partly out. I set a No. 3 trap where he had been coming out of the water, being very careful not to disturb any- thing or leave any scent behind. Three days after I had set my trap I caught my otter. I had caught him by the left hind leg, pretty well up. I killed him with a small stick, hardly big enough, I thought, to kill him, but I found out my mistake, for he was very easy to kill. I skinned him, and sold his hide for ten ; Trapping the Otter. The otter is a wary animal and the trap should be carefully secreted and placed on the side of the runway or otter slide at the highest point; the aim being to catch the animal by the legs which are located on the side of the animal, and are very short. A. SLIDING WIRE OR ROPE. Take a telegraph wire (some take a %-inch rope), fasten to some heavy object, which sink 15 to 25 feet from shore in deep water. Pass the other end through ring on trap and fasten to some tree or stake. The steel trap should be set at the edge of the shore or under water. Cover trap in the usual way. Good for otter, beaver, mink, etc. small cavity should be made in the earth, and the trap inserted so as to be about level with the path under the pan. Around the jaws and springs make a light packing of leaves or moss; cover the trap carefully with rotten wood pulverized very fine, brush off smooth to give it a natural appearance. Cut a small tree the size of the chain ring; set upright near the path to guide the game into the trap, fastening it and securing the trap and game.
