    Need help--River otter in boat house

    Need some help!
    ive got a river otter or otters living around my boathouse at Pickwick.
    Chewing things, and leading really nasty feces on the decks.

    Pantone ever dealt with these things?

    Can you trap in a live trap? Any repellents?

    Y'all clowns are a ton of help.
    Otter crap STINKS, and yeah, I've got a ton of guns, but I'm not here except on weekends, and they are mostly nocturnal.

    have No problem trapping or killing, just not sure how.

    You can legally trap otters (if I am reading the regs right) in Tennessee. Season starts Nov. 20. If you don't want to do it yourself, I bet you could find a trapper who would, for a fee. You might be able to contact TN F&G and see if they'll let you remove it out of season if it's a nuisance. http://www.tfhaonline.net/lawsandregulations.htm

    Set a 220 conibear that will get him. I wouldn't worry about the season if he's a nuisance just don't tell anyone

    I fish Pickwick several times a year there are a good many otters around the lake.
    See them most trips. Not likely you can remove 1 or 2 and end problem.
    Suggest you make your place unattractive to them. Lights, wire and other barriers.
    Seek online!
