Not sure if I would have been able to avoid that bite eitherMe and a friend caught a young otter years ago while out in middle of pine timber with no water for miles. Figured I’d relocate him to the amite river. Was in my dad’s 74 1 ton truck that had the tool box on the side of the bed behind the cab. Chased it down an pinned it with a forked stick and we quickly put in the tool box. Fetched up a fish net and got to the river and developed a plan that my friend would open the door and I’d have the net ready to catch it , kids being kids having to handle it a bit more. Door came open, caught the thing in the net, and that thing chewed thru the net instantly and latched itself to my inner leg and the dance was on. It bit thru my jeans, drew blood and hauled butt
You're lucky it wasn't after any trouser trout?Me and a friend caught a young otter years ago while out in middle of pine timber with no water for miles. Figured I’d relocate him to the amite river.

Best I remember my junk was shrinking at a rapid pace, it was a little nip and tuck fer a spell. My friend was having a large time laughing at my delima…You're lucky it wasn't after any trouser trout?
Would that make it a Notter?My otter identifies as a Labrador
