I took it upone myself to eliminate on of these bastards for y'all.
On way home from work, one was dumbe enough to try crossing the street in front of me. Bad move on his part, because I crushed that lil fucker.

Of course I'll have to pay for the mailboxes, fencepost, and birdbath in that lady's front yard, and she'll probably want me to fix all them ruts, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Sure it wasn't a quick view of Buckyle's beard as he crawled across the road?

Down here guys will get together and lease some land to deer, duck and hog hunt. They work the lease by building and maintaining roads, stands, food plots and feeders. I work with one guy that is in a 25 person lease, they lease 1000 acres. Over several work weekends they shot some 90 nutria. One guy took the tails in for the bounty. They bought beer and supplies for the lease. I think he said he paid $700 a year to be part of that lease.

He said there was one guy that shot a majority of those and that was the guy that took in the tails. He hunted the canals and sloughs in the lease early in the AM and late in the evening and shot them with a .22. They used the carcasses as bait for crab traps and to lure coyotes. Cycle of life.

Ohio and Louisiana used to be top fur bearing states when I was a kid trapping. The pelts may also have some value but that is a slow hard way to make a living. I can find a price of $2 for nutria in 2003. 90 nutria would get you $630 before the lease payment, gas and ammo.

For some it is fun and you can't kill them fast enough. Kind of like Thump and groundhogs.

Can you use a ball bat? I'm not trying to cut into profits buying bullets an' shit.

you probably could get away with that one.
Me and my dad went half and half on some really fucking cheap .22 bullets. We bought a case of cases for like $15 (yeah they're probably smuggled in od some illegal shit). These things don't fly in anything that remotely resembles a straight line.
But the cool thing about Nutrias is that they're too dumb to stay underwater. They keep popping back up to see what's happening/who's shooting at them. So we keep knocking them off.
The may not even go under if you're swingin' a bat at them.

I'm gonna have to figure out if they're as fast as armadillos. I've hit them with bats before, but they haul ass pretty quickly afterwards. And them things is FAST. I'm thinking I could prolly catch a nutria from behind though.
