Nutria control program...

Go there and click on experience wildlife. There is a nutria control button. They list some of the regs but, some of them, to me, are a little confusing. The part of land owner/manager signatures is kinda confusing. I don't know if that means that you can't take em on state waters or wma's... Also, some of the info recording is somewhat cloudy to me.

I guess I need to catch a day when work is slow and go to the WLF office to get some more details. If anyone knows the ins and outs on this program, let's here it!

It is somewhat like obtaining the alligator license. You need to have valid proof that you can take nutria from a certain parcel of land. You can't just go out on the river and shoot up everyone you see and collect for them.

As for the recording, I don't know about that.

i take part in it all the tim on the lease...5 bucks a tail..

5 bucks a tail 7in ( i think) wanted to get the land owner's permission that owns the big marsh behind my house....never asked... but i look at it on the bright side, they clear so many trails for me back there, its unreal! kinda help...

Pretty cool. Thanks for the input fellas. Too bad bout the no taking on state waters cuz I would see dozens of them on most days in the spillway!

it should be in state waters. there is not one beneficial aspect to these things. their fur isnt worth anything anymore, and the destroy our wetlands/

we are having a problem at our test ponds right now where they have completely cleared 20 foot squares of spartina alterniflora (smooth cord grass). its amazing what they can do in a few hours
