really the way I see it is we control the number of fish in the lake when it is stocked, so we therefore should control the population of the otters.
 I am sure a few families of them are good for the lake but if their numbers get out of control then it is a big problem rather than relocate a few otters every couple of years we could be forced to wipe out a lot at once if they are left unchecked with a endless food supply that we put in there.

what I am saying is there has to be a balance... the lake is artificially supplemented buy us for our benefit... we are that lakes problem.

BBQ them. I get the hind leg. Maybe make some slippers from the fur. There so many now some are going to starve and that's when they head for Lafarge. I really like them and all wildlife (except seals) but when they have no natural predators to keep there numbers down, you have nature out of balance. Not that I,m an authority on these maters just expressing my feelings.

Roekid gets the fur. He needs a new hat  ;D .

hahah I agree!  I did purchase another coon skin hat the other day though!!!!!

Leave them alone it's not a big deal for now.Not stocking is not a good option we all pay fees so we can go fish, and lafarge is good close place to go when you just want go fish for a couple hours or so.Trap and relocate the plastic bucketers.
