Man, I had a FIELD of Nutria the other day. I was out on the ole John
Deere, mowing the eastern two, and every time I'd make a pass through
the waist high grass, rodents were running. I tried chasing a few
down, but they were faster (just barely) than the tractor. I DID hear
a few CHA-THUNKs as I was mowing and the Bearded Guy assured me that I
was indeed a vicious deadly killer.
I was just glad that I was upwind...I really didn't want Nutria chunks
flying back at me.

NutriaSleet?

Sound like you are wasting much potential amusement there. Try to find
an old Thompson-Center pistol chambered for a .410 shotshell. They're
expensive new, but sometimes you can pick up a rusty one at a gun show
for cheap. They're great for snap shots at rats while mowing and
bushhogging and such. Just be careful about hitting bumps or being
drunk when you are doing so because the guy down the the road wasn't
and blew the top of his radiator off, but he was using a .357, I
think, and never hit any rats anyway. Would be damn near impossible.

Nutria ain't exactly rat. Is a rodent right enough, but not exactly a
rat. Lots bigger and meatier. Haven't eaten them or any four legged
beaver either. I've eaten rats. Brown ones, anyways, back when I was
doing the live offa the land number. They taste like squirrel and are
a little easier to skin. If you have a few people and a big meadow you
can dig a bottle pit and have a field rat roundup (walk around the
field in decreasing circles). Getting 'em outa the pit is the fun
part. We used one barbed tine or whatever you call it off of a frog
gig lashed to a green maple stick, Poke Poke SQUEAL...yank... haw look
at them legs GO!...hey thass cruel, smush his head or something. Shit,
hold it still I'll do it! damn!...and so on. Sticking your hand in the
pit is a bad idea, cause things besides rats will run in there
(scorpions, sometimes snakes, but I always check with a flashlight for
them cause I don't want to hurt any reptiles) and the rats themselves
will bite pretty good, too. Then you gut 'em, skin 'em, shish-kaboob
'em and cook over the fire. Never tried the big grey and black rats,
but I would imagine they wouldn't taste as good, as they aren't very
picky eaters. Coon and possum aren't either and they are sorta nasty
and greasy and smell bad while they are cooking, so I won't eat them
anymore or dump rats at all unless I have to for real. In the
meantime I will continue to feel free to use ammo that don't leave
much more than soup fixin's and not bother to make soup out of it. Not
the kind that is for eating, anyways.
