A lot of Nutria destroying the banks on a nearby Creek/marsh and I was asked to help thin them out. I've picked off a few but haven't tried hunting them in a serious way.
I went out this morning looking to try out my new Ruger Mrk 4 with a holo sight. Scouted Nutria burrows. Found half a dozen slides from the burrow into the creek. Hoping to bag enough Nutria pelts to make the effort worthwhile, I usually figure the first of February for the better pelts on most animals.
Does anybody have any tips on hunting Nutria? I'm thinking maybe a compost pile might be productive? I can already see I'm going to need a net or hook with an extendable pole or find somebody with a retriever to help me out.
What kind of dog safe trap might work?
