Bear kills a couple rats
« on: August 29, 2010, 07:03:00 AM »
Had to get in the grove for deer season. Figured taking out a couple rodents was a close as I could get. Nutria are non native and have no season or bag limit. As close as I could come to ground hogs on the outerbanks.
Used a tracking string since they would go into the water after the shot. 15 yd shot 2 yd recovery. 55# bear takedown.

According to some folks they are very edible. I cannot vouch for that myself, but I would be more than willing to try just about anything at least twice.

They kind of look like a big muskrat and they are suppose to be really good.

We Are trying to eradicate them on the Delmarva peninsula. They can tear up some marsh. Have cooked up a few. Brined, pressure cooked, then BBQ'd and they are pretty good. Deep fried like a turkey? Nasty!
