Not sure I'd ever be hungry enough to eat a oversized rat......... I've seen them in North Bay of the Skagit Flats.

I've had it once, my buddy made it in a stir fry...wasn't great but wasn't terrible. Just try not to think about what your eating. I'll send you a pm, I shoot a lot every year and maybe we could work something out, I'd like to have one tanned

I like my nutria sliced quick fried served over egg noodles with a side of some kind of greens.

If you have ever skinned a few it will probably cure you of the thought of eating one. Certainly cured me of that thought. Plainly spoken, they stink, a very musky smell and not a good musky smell.
They generally bring around $3 at Oregon Territorial Council fur auctions. There are indications the price may improve but I think they will still be a low priced fur for a while. Back in the early 80s western nutria were bringing in the mid teens. I'd like to see those prices again.
Nutria have a pretty coarse outer fur and don't look that great but if sheared they have a wonderfully fine and dark under fur. WSTA had a vest made for Miss Rodeo WA one year that way and it looked stupendous.

Just saw an article today that was explaining how they're destroying the Louisiana swamp

Right... theres tons in the south. You get a bounty of $5 a tail in Louisiana.

I had  roasted and bbq'd Nutria in Rosario, Argentina, they are served in some restaurants, I asked if they were hunted and they said the ones sold in restaurants came from the fur factories over there, by the way they were delicious, no musky smell, may be because they were kept in cages ??

 I'll take a zero on the river rat.

Check out Willows Run Golf Course.  I've seen them everytime.

I'd whack one in a min if i saw one... where abouts? North Fork? I've never seen them on the river or N skagit bay And i like to duck hunt that area... Muskrats but not nutria..

[ADAMS]

I might be out around Vancouver Lake tomorrow for rabbit.  I'll keep a lookout.

I'm not sure I'd eat the vermin rodents unless food was scarce.

Down below Milltown. Thought it was a beaver at first.

I've shot about 10 or so on my relatives farm near Longview. Those suckers are fun to blast at, but ugly as heck.
