Nutria hunting/trapping/killing them all!!!!

[Poopshooter]

There is a big ditch right behind my house in walker. The nutria are coming out of the ditch and getting in my
garden. My garden is done for this year due to them getting in it. I have been shooting them in my yard, but now I want to take it to them. The ditch is on public land. Do I need a trappers permit or just a small game? Can I just kill the hell outta them without a permit? 5 bucks a tail and there being 100 or more I'd like to get paid if I could, where do you turn the tails in at close to walker?
Any help is welcome. Thanks.

I would love to come out and donate some lead to the cause when my .223 can comes in, I don't care about the $$$. I think wildlife and fisheries actually put in a nutria season this year. I thought the goal was eradication, not management.

I looked this up the other day...

nutria
On WMAs and private property, nutria may be taken recreationally by licensed hunters from Sept. 1 - Feb. 29, during legal shooting hours by any legal hunting method with a daily limit of five, EXCEPT nutria may be taken on Atchafalaya Delta, Salvador/
Timken, Pointe Aux Chenes, and Pass a Loutre WMAs from Sept. 1 to March 31.

When taken with a shotgun, steel shot must be used. On WMAs during waterfowl seasons, nutria may be taken only by the use of shotguns with shot not larger than F steel; during gun deer seasons on WMAs, anyone taking nutria must display 400 square inches of “Hunter Orange” and wear a “Hunter Orange” cap or hat. Recreational nutria hunters must remove each nutria carcass in whole condition from the hunting area, EXCEPT that nutria may be gutted.

Possession of detached nutria parts, including nutria tails, by recreational hunters is illegal. Nutria harvested recreationally may not be pelted nor may such nutria or any nutria parts from recreationally
taken nutria be sold, including the tail.

Trespassing upon private property for the purpose of taking nutria or other fur bearing animals is punishable by fines and
possible jail time (R.S. 56.265). The Coastwide Nutria Control Program is a separate program and is in no way related to the nutria recreational season. For questions on the Coastwide Nutria Control Program call the New Iberia office: 337-373-0032

Somebodies brother in law learned how to make money of of rats! Goal should be total eradication, and if you can shoot it, kill it. Even if you are just walking in the woods with your CCW and see one in a ditch, pop that sucker. "Harvest" and "Control" should not be the goal, eradication!

So now you gotta have a permit. I guess I'll just wait for them to come into my yard and bust them. Might even have a killing contest of some kind.

I think its called shoot, shovel, shuddup about it.
The tail bounty is valid in the coastal parishes.

I'm gonna set fire to the ditch and shoot them as they run out.
