On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Pierce is joined by Damon Zito of Vortex Optics to cover everything you need to know about water trapping in Wisconsin! Damon shares the story of how he got into trapping through a co-worker at Vortex, and how the fascination of lesser-seen critters like muskrat, mink, beaver, and even river otters sparked his desire to get into water trapping. Be prepared to learn a TON in this episode about these strange semi-aquatic animals from what beaver, otter, and mink sign looks like, how widely these animals range, how to determine what critter you're seeing in a given area, how prevalent river otters really are in Wisconsin, what a safe and legal trap setup looks like, and last but not least, what may quite possibly be the greatest turkey hunting story ever told on The Wisconsin Sportsman. All that and more in this week's episode!
