I'm far from a anti. But 5 yrs. ago in northern B.C. I was listening and watching when the trapper was showing his otter to the First Nations guy and his son. They called him on it.
The otter's teets were full of milk. First week of May.
The First nations fellow also said how his grandfather use to loose all his wolverine to grizzly's. Then I assume leg hold traps only? A easy meal for a bear.
2 yrs. later same time of year I didn't see either of the trapper's. Animals probably all gone...
