Blackwater is a refuge. Indeed, in many areas of LA and South TX, nutria are trapped and shot. Inside of large cities, like New Orleans and Houston, any firearms usage is just not feasible. The bayous run right smack dab through the middle of neighborhoods. But you are absolutely correct, in sparsely populated areas trapping and so forth would likely result in more nutria despatched. A mixed bag approach of trapping, shooting, and dogging would probably yield the best results. Again, thanks for replying to me and posting the article originally. Any attention brought to our nutria problem is a good thing.<br /><br />Sean KotchSean Kotchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995867978461188028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-42854758595476171442010-03-30T14:36:31.485-04:002010-03-30T14:36:31.485-04:00Go to the links Sean, and you will see that floati...Go to the links Sean, and you will see that floating traps and floating bait boards are not a problem with the setups as shown. We have a lot of nutria at Blackwater in MD (about 50,000) and they are trapping them out and shooting them some as well. A .22 gun into the water is not a bullet going anywhere.<br /><br />P.PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-35112914219513472862010-03-30T13:12:05.711-04:002010-03-30T13:12:05.711-04:00Mr. Burns,

The levees and bayous nutria are burrowing into surround residential areas. The use of firearms in these areas is not a good idea at all. Likely not even legal and probably not acceptablee to the residents if it were. While the residents of that neighborhood may not be getting their money's worth by hiring this guy, firing guns into and across the levees is probably not practical or safe. Personally I am jealous of the fellow, myself. Anyway, these are just my opinions and by no means am I an experienced terrierman. My jagds are too big to do much digging, but they have managed to send a few nutria we have found on the bayou behind my house to the promised land.<br /><br />Sean Kotch<br />Spring TX<br />machine73@msn.comSean Kotchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995867978461188028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-54835021789487835102010-03-20T20:37:24.478-04:002010-03-20T20:37:24.478-04:00I keep trying to find a way to get people to pay t...I keep trying to find a way to get people to pay to fly the hawks - but no luck so far.<br /><br />I didn't know nutria burrowed so extensively.<br />D.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779996988877260226noreply@blogger.com
