Had to get in the grove for deer season. Figured taking out a couple rodents was a close as I could get. Nutria are non native and have no season or bag limit. As close as I could come to ground hogs on the outerbanks.
Used a tracking string since they would go into the water after the shot. 15 yd shot 2 yd recovery. 55# bear takedown.

what does nutria taste like?
i am not sure if i would want to taste it, if offered. ;)
are they edible at all?
nice bow and arrows btw, look great.
According to some folks they are very edible. I cannot vouch for that myself, but I would be more than willing to try just about anything at least twice.
tastes like a lighter version of Beaver (like Hare and jackrabbit)

That is one big rate...never knew they had nutria in NC.
Nice shooting. They don't look to good but then nether does a gator. :dunno:
They kind of look like a big muskrat and they are suppose to be really good.
We Are trying to eradicate them on the Delmarva peninsula. They can tear up some marsh. Have cooked up a few. Brined, pressure cooked, then BBQ'd and they are pretty good. Deep fried like a turkey? Nasty!
