OUTDOOR NEWS: The 2016 River Otto and Fisher harvest
information is now available. Trappers harvested 1,474 river otters and 546
fishers according to the preliminary harvest data for the 2016-17 season. River
Otters were taken in 72 counties and fishers were taken in 42 counties during
the season. Tribal harvest accounted for 22 fisher and 13 otter. River otter
and fisher are both members of the weasel family. The DNR rely on detailed
harvest records, track surveys, and available information gained by examining
the ages of animals that are trapped. Due to their generally secretive nature,
the DNR really rely on information gained through highly-regulated and
monitored trapping seasons.
