I saw one last August on the south shore of Lake Washington. They're around.  :bash:

I just got back from Louisiana and there is a $5 bounty for their tails. They were everywhere in the swamps.
May you have a target rich environment!

Capital Lake here in Oly has them.  There were a ton in Eugene.  I used to shoot a few while duck hunting, and my dogs got a few.  2 dogs and a nutria make one hell of a racket while battling it out the bushes!

They didn't, but I didn't let them fight if possible.  Dogs will mess up a nutria though.

They won't try to drown a dog but in the water they are more than a match for any breed. They will flat tear up a dog or human if cornered....contrary to belief, they are vegetarian.

I always get plenty of opportunity to get a few during duck season.  Just make sure you can learn to identify them, so you don't shoot a beaver instead.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I'd try it - I think


can't say for sure but if it didn't stink too bad while cleaning it, that's what would get me.




but hell, if they were tasty off the grill....free meat baby!

I'll have to check it out the next time I'm in Ellensburg. Are they on the main river, or in side ponds near the river? Seems like the river would run a little fast. Think I could just walk the train tracks and jump shoot 'em?
Thanks,
Chris
