Question about the legality killing nutria; not selling

So one of my good friends has been working diligently with the Lion Fish removal from reefs in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

He is teaming up with a chef who wants to do an invasive species thing. This would ideally promote the killing of lionfish and nutria even more than we currently do.

My question is, with a regular hunting license, can I go and shoot a few nutria and bring them home. I have ZERO intention of selling them; nor does the chef.

Nuisance Animals

Landowners or their designees may remove beaver and nutria causing damage to their property without a special permit. Water set traps and firearms may be used to remove beaver; nutria may be removed by any means EXCEPT that nutria cannot be taken by the use of headlight and gun between the hours of sunset and sunrise. With a special permit issued by LDWF, beavers may be taken between one-half hour after official sunset to one-half hour before official sunrise for a period of three consecutive calendar evenings from the effective date of the permit. For specific details contact a regional office near you. Any nuisance beaver or nutria trapped or shot outside open trapping season cannot be pelted or sold. A trapping license is required to sell or pelt nuisance beavers or nutria taken during open trapping season. Squirrel found destroying commercial crops of pecans may be taken year-round by permit issued by LDWF. This permit shall be valid for 30 days from the date of issuance. Contact the local regional office or details.

the question that arises from this is that I would likely go to a public lake that is loaded with them, just pop 3-5 and call it a day

I imagine that no game warden would say anything but I'm just curious if any of yall have experience
