River otter harvest quota met Tuesday

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has announced that the river otter harvest quota of 15 otters for the Panhandle Region was reached at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

The otter season for the entire region closes 72 hours after the harvest quota has been met, which will be 10 a.m. Friday.

Trappers will be allowed to keep otters trapped within this period provided their personal quota of two has not been reached.

Any otters trapped in the Panhandle Region after 10 a.m. Friday must be surrendered to the IDFG for a $10 reward.
