Bounty hunters have made significant progress in getting rid of one of the biggest culprits blamed for Louisiana's rapidly eroding coastline: the nutria. During the 2012-13 hunting season, hunters used rifles, shotguns and traps to kill 388,160 of the four-legged, orange-toothed critters that love to eat wetland grasses down to the roots, according to a report delivered to a federal-state coastal restoration task force on Thursday.

I was gonna go on a rampage when they started that program, but I remember you needed a special trapping license or something. If they didn't have that, I'd happily kill every one I saw

I usually kill about 10-15 on my farm every duck season.
Those bastards have ruined the levee, multiple spots have sunk in and we cant even ride ATVs down it anymore, much less a tractor to bushhog it.
I get most of them when the ditch freezes and they are sliding around on the ice...too easy.

You're welcome. 
And I don't even collect the tails. I just do it for the joy of killing nutria.

I'm definitely doing my part.

They are good target practice with a pistol. From what i've heard at least . I may or may not have shot a few.

Wow. That's quite a population decrease.
Someone must have told the cajuns it's illegal to kill nutria.

I know that the nutria cause a metric shite ton of damage, but couldn't you put a few of those bastards on the lakes that are choked up with giant salvinia and take care of that problem?

A lot of it has to do with the fact that there's not as much marsh left to damage

How do i go about getting a license? I have a bunch of these bastards on my property.
Eta: guess I should have finished reading the thread.
Can I shoot them year round?
