Time for an oldstyle solution:

Give a $50 bounty on each Nutria turned in. Allow leghold traps (very effective on nutria, and humane, the trap drags them underwater and drowns them), and snares. Allow them to be hunted without limit.

California will not do that, because it would be politically incorrect. Better the state be overrun with vermin than allow the common man a hand in eradicating them.

$50 each would be cheap compared to what they are paying the six man “eradication” team.

Six people, full time, six months. Figure $25 an hour minimum in California, with benefits. That is six thousand hours or $150,000 dollars.

They got 200 nutria. That is equivalent to $750 bounty for each!

In Mississippi they pay a $25 Bounty for Feral Hogs, or so I was told. I’m not sure who pays the $25 though.

Give a $50 bounty on each Nutria turned in.

My Canadian wife told me a story about how her uncle went out camping with another fellow years ago. The fellow built a campfire, and told him whenever you see two little yellow lights, shoot at them. The next morning, they were surrounded by wolf carcasses, and turned in the ears for a $25 bounty.

Actually I think the CA hunting regs could be understood as allowing unlimited taking of nutria by firearm. (Where hunting is allowed.)

But ask a game warden to be sure ...
