Great story, I'd like to chase some Nutria someday!

Yeah, it looks a little silly Kathy. It' s some mini boonie style hat that has a built in facemask. The mask annoys me unless I'm sitting still, so I use the chin strap to hold the sides and mask out of my way until I need to sit or stalk a hog. Figured I wasn't  gonna 'blend' into my surroundings in this case with the mask down, so I kept it up.

Thanks Pat. I thought it was either a tricorn or a mostly-eaten salad hat.
Googling up nutria, I say eat 'em all!

Good story. I am a bit surprised though, I thought they would taste like chicken.

If I ever get the spare time, yours is the first place I would beat feet to... unless it were Oregon. I gotta meet that trophy wife you keep braggin' on. She sounds like an A-number-one first class human bean, able to conquer anything that the f-up fairy throws her way!

Nice pics!  They tried to get us Louisianians to eat them since they were busting up rice and crawfish levees and marshland.  They pay $5 a tail for em (although I don't know if the program is still going), and they had a big ad campaign, with Chef Paul Prudhomme trying to promote it - but I believe it was a flop. If we don't eat em, I'm surprised anybody eats em.    :p  

Here's an article on the vermin:

Guys at camp were talking about Nutria, so I thought I would bump this to the top.

Pat, Darren (Hackbow) is going to be upset. That was one of his target species in Boeuf.

Lol.  Originally from PA, but I am pretty open to new good, as long as it is not raw.

Kudos on getting it done Pat.  I've been hoping to encounter a Nutria along the rivers where I hunt here in N. FL, I know we have them.  What's this I hear about a diamondback Centaur?? Hehe..
