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.

Whew! Reminds me of my teenage years mucking through the marshes around Port Arthur & Orange.
We used to sometimes shoot nutria from a boat. We we just kids with no money so we used .22 rifles. We'd have to catch 'em in the water. If they were on land we usually couldn't get close enough to shoot from a moving boat.

Nice video!

Looks like fun.

Glad y'all liked the video. It is a lot of fun riding around in the marsh shooting them. We will get more of them the next few weeks.

Looks like a blast!
