It was crazy There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world: 1. All Politicians Are Liars 2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement 3. Taxation Is Theft

Area before daylight waiting to shoot wood-ducks. All of a sudden he screamed like a little girl and jumped back. An Otter had bumped into him!! That was the first one I had ever seen in Alabama. He said it raced through his mind as it happened that he had encountered the Lockness Monster.....I about fell over laughing!!

Now they are everywhere. Little did we know as they ran down the hallways we were experiencing killers on the loose.

I never gave otters a thought. I floated around a curve in a creek in my kayak last year and came face to face with a beaver at about 6 feet. He was asleep but my little dog was on the front of the boat. Mr. Beaver ended up catching a 40 caliber round from my M&P Shield because I figured it'd be on if he woke up.

Some bobcats would growl and act tough, and sometimes a big coon would, but an otter always let me know that he would attack instantly if he could only get out of the trap. They were also the hardest thing to hold once I caught one. More than half of them managed to get away before I got to them. All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
