I knew a guy in the Navy from Louisiana, he worked in the shop next to ours. I was going down the freeway one day and I recognized his truck, pulled over on the shoulder. Thinking he may need assistance, I pulled over. He emerged from the tree line. I asked if he was okay.

He said he was checking his traps. Apparently folks in New York City were paying enough for Nutria pelts to make it worth his time. I didn’t inquire what he did with the meat.

Fwiw, the local retention ponds used to be rife with Nutria. I no longer see them, don’t know if nature took its course or if they were exterminated.

They’re still here. Despite several attempts, no one’s been able to convince Louisiana diners that nutria is good to eat. They are after all, a rodent.

Nutria tastes good too.
