Nutria Rat Knockout Video

[Delta Duckman]

Usually near the end of duck season here in SE Louisiana nutria come out on cold days to warm up in the sun.  When the water is low is a good time to hunt them.  Somehow nutria seem to know alligators who love to eat them are dormant during this time of year.  Nutria are considered a nuisance animal that can be taken all year.  Duck hunting has been really slow for us this year so if we are going to get up early for a duck hunt we hunt nutria after the ducks.  We give the nutria to a camp caretaker who eats them and shares them with his family members.  We have fun and he gets to eat.  Video shows some of the action.

They were bigger than I thought they would be.  Fun.

It is a lot of fun riding in the marsh shooting them.  They taste similar to wild rabbit.  Many people eat them down here.

I don't know... they look like a cross between a rat and a beaver.  And I ain't eatin' either one of those.

Too bad they don't have a cute bushy tail like a squirrel or chipmunk.  It might make them seem more palatable.

I would gladly give them to others to eat.
