I have seen them use beaver dens. I know they do fight with beavers. They definitely clean a pond out of all the fish.

Saw an otter in Missouri once. Wife and I were fishing one night on a wooden dock and decided to head back. The critter jumped on the dock between us and the land and just about scared my wife out of her skin. I had a good laugh. It was just curious at us and went back in the water. Fun to watch.

I’ve never seen one in person that I can recall but we had 4 on a trail cam over a mile from the river last week. I thought that was pretty cool,

I've had fishing guides tell me that if you see an otter in the river, you may as well pack up and head 2 miles downstream in order to find any fish.

Have seen several along Sabine river @ Gladewater, Kilgore, Marshall and roadways close to it. 2 on highway due to being run over, another one near Carthage same. Guess blinded by headlights crossing roads since pretty agile.

I was driving thru Cameron, Tx (just south maybe 3-5 miles) about 1 am when I jammed on the brakes and hit one in the road.

Wife woke up and said WTH was that and I said I think I just ran over an otter

She didn't believe me so we did a U-Turn and by God I did run over an otter

I'm from North Tx and I have never saw one outside of a zoo

I've seen road kill otter. Might as well take the pelt if you just killed it. A few years back the Buddhist monks over in China were buying otter for turbans they wear but they got into a thing with the government that put an embargo on and the market dropped. At the top I think a couple of guys were getting about $140 per otter.

The crappie house in Graham has a couple that have run off the crappie and eaten fish that people had on stringers. Tore up a couple of fish baskets too. They need someone to trap them or shoot them. You can’t hardly catch a crappie since they showed up.

Forgot to mention I saw one last weekend crossing a powerline easement I was watching while hog hunting. I think it was heading for my uncle's pond, hungry for bass.

They sure cleaned out my Uncles pond in a hurry. Luckily he mostly built it for Wood ducks, but he had stocked it with bluegill and sunfish for his grandkids to catch. 2 otters rolled in and that was the end of the fishing for my little cousins.

My buddy caught one in a snare he set for coyotes near Franklin, and me and my boy found a roadkill one between Franklin and Calvert in Robertson county.

Got a report from my son in Snook they have an otter that’s taken up residence under one of their sheds. He’s setting the trap this evening.

Hit one with a truck once in VA. Game warden gave me a roadkill permit for it. Had it tanned and gave it to my nephew when he was about 10. He wore it out using ut as a cape.
