someone explain to me this Coastwide Nutria Control Program
Posted on 8/9/17 at 11:08 am
Posted on 8/9/17 at 11:08 am
heres the story from the advocate this morning:
heres the text from the link at DWF site:
so, this appears to be applicable only on PRIVATE land, unless i'm reading this wrong. what about public land (WMA's, etc)? i'd shoot them for free on the WMA where we hunt, forget the $5.00. why is this not open on public land if they are such a nuisance?
can anyone speak to this?

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries said Wednesday that it's seeking more help in its fight against nutria, requesting that interested hunters and trappers join the department's program.
The Coastwide Nutria Control Program is incentive-based, meaning that registered helpers can receive $5 per "nutria harvested" from Nov. 20-March 31.
Those interested in the program can sign up here. For landowners to enroll, their property must be located south of I-10 from the Texas-Louisiana border to Baton Rouge, south of I-12 from Baton Rouge to Slidell and south of I-10 from Slidell to the Mississippi-Louisiana border, LDWF said.
heres the text from the link at DWF site:
quote:
If you are a landowner who would like nutria harvested from your property, email your name, phone number, and the parish where the property is located and we can connect you with CNCP hunters and trappers. Nighttime hunting through entire CNCP season now allowed on private land. Requires written permission from landowner and a permit. You can read more and apply for permit by clicking here. Or contact us for additional information.

they dont want a bunch of baws running around in surface drives doing more damage to the land than the nutrias are doing.

I think you can turn in tails for $5 each, but you can also sign up as a landowner authorizing others or yourself to do night hunting.
Catch is preserving the tails - need like a 5 gallon bucket of salt to toss them in or a ice chest then freeze. They only pay for properly preserved tails.

surface drives are already illegal on Atch WMA except in deep channels

Liability.

like i said, i'd dhoot them for free, frick the tails and the $5.00. the requirement to retrieve and remove the carcasses is asinine

you have to have a trappers license to turn them into the property owner and get your bounty...you dont have to have a trappers license to shoot them though

tell me how this makes any sense, if the goal is to get rid of nutria...
re: surface drives, etc, its no different than duck season. nothing would change. you cant shoot anything legally out of a boat anyway, regardless

at the risk of getting a call from greenjeans, here's what me and my friends/family have been doing for years. we have a houseboat near the atchafalaya WMA next to belle isle. after duck and the extended snow/blue season, we go out in feb/mar once a year and have a nutria shoot.
basically its pull up to the bank, get out and walk and shoot the ones we see. i'll pick up and clean a dozen or so to make sauce piquant, but we otherwise leave the carcasses.
so we are clearly breaking the law as written, but we are killing hundreds of nutria
isnt that the goal here?

We go every year on private land.....we hunt in the marsh out of surface drives...it's the only way you're going to kill 700 nutria in one day...you have to be in the marsh where you can kill a whole family walking on the marsh land.
Drive your surface drive right up to them, clip the tails off and throw the bodies back in the marsh. They usually sink or the gators eat them as soon as the hit the marsh.
ETA: we arent riding around shooting them...we stop the boat and wait for them to cross our line of fire..then move around and set up in different spots of the marsh

Is this a precaution for lead consumption?

we dont use lead shot

I'm not asking about you. I'm asking about the intentions of the policy.

Probably same reason hog hunting is limited on public land vs private here in LA - concerned with poachers and lack of manpower to police would be my thought.

can you still eat them?
Posted on 8/9/17 at 11:48 am to upgrayedd
then I dont know.....I just know what we do

we eat them, most people dont
like i said we pick up a few to eat but 99% we leave them where shot or dump them in the water
i guess the requirement for picking them up is lead-based, but as to how a 22 or 17 cal bullet will poison a bald eagle i have no idea. steel shot is required if you use a shotgun anyway

I eat the heck out of them. They are good ground up in spaghetti

Trappers license is like $35. After you turn in $6 tails it's all gas money after that.
