Depends on the current bounty and if you have a place to get a bunch. My cousin used to go, but the time I was going he sunk his airboat the day before.

Sounded like loads of fun, but gas, ammo, whatever, all adds up.

I've done it. It wasn't profitable, actually I probably ended up in the hole. It was fun though! I think it's $5 a tail if I remember right.

well cane bayou is only a few miles away, got a canoe and a bunch of 22 already. so gas/ammo isnt much of a factor right now

ive seen nutria out there

Also, I'm not sure, but isn't there some special license required? Basic trapping or something like that?

 

[kcinnick]

I'll shoot em for free, anybody got a boat, you can keep the tails! I'll even give you the .22lr if you need some.

Cane bayou is state park on one side and national wildlife refuge on the other. You are going to need private property (with permission) to be able to shoot nutria from it.

Might want to check this out before you go.

If not in the nutria control program and just in possesion of a hunting (not trapping) license, you can only hunt during the day and cannot sell any part of the nutria.

 

[Mr_Willson]

so i need one of them trapping licenses

 

[themcfarland]

if you end up killing them, cut the tail turn it in for the bounty of 5 then I will give 2.50 for adults and 1.00 for younger ones so I can feed my hawks.

 

[Mr_Willson]
