Try this mixtu


Ill have to try it on beach rotted crab. Wonder how it will do on
Coyote poop and Otter slick? Otter slick, that goo they grease their
runs with, is about the most obnoxious stuff in nature. Around here
one of the worse things that can happen is to have some otters move
under your house.
Thanx

I don't know, Dave. That mixture is specifically designed to neutralize
skunk odor. Who knows how it will work on other nasty stuff.

Otter slick?

Cut "to the chase" for my email address.


The otters seem to rub **** and fishy guts on the "slides" leading to
water. This seems to help keep the mud from drying out, and makes them
slippery. Ive also seen it on rocks leading down from the den area to
the water. Once you smell it you always know what it is. Sometimes
they use culverts as part of their regular trails to deeper water,
food, dens etc. The scat often will have lots of crushed shell bits in
it. What Im describing is from observation and conjecture; don't know
how it squares with more science based descripts.

You score much on the Clearwater this year?
