14th April 2012: A few people have asked me lately, what otter spraint looks like. Well, this is what otter spraint looks like. If you are not sure, break the spraint up in the palm of your hand. If it smells sweet, perhaps a like lavender, it is otter spraint. If it smells awful, it is mink spraint.

Maybe a faint aroma of lavender. It depends on how well you grind it up in the palm of your hand to allow the air to get to it. 🙂

I do carry rubber gloves, but I rarely use them. I wash my hands when I get home: usually before I eat my dinner. 🙂

Good to know. Next time I come across something like this, I’ll just pick it up, crush it between my fingers, smell it, determine it’s most likely skunk since we don’t have otters or mink running around the streets in Indianapolis, go home, wash my hands, and eat dinner.
