Bounty on Nutria

[JDgator]

Somebody told me there is a seven dollar bounty on each nutria harvested in Louisiana. Any truth to that?

Another question: If there is a bounty on nutria and they are edible and very plentiful, then why are cajuns sitting after duck season like there is nothing to to?

That's probably just the going price the coonazzes are paying. Similar to the 'Coons for Coons' program in north Mississippi.

you will not find a buyer for $2 down here i don't think even stretched and dried. You can get a permit for $5 tails but you have to own some land.

What y'all need is a nutria commander. A knockoff of a knockoff of the duck commander. Another overweight dude in a beard and shaggy hair pushing a line of plastic nutria hunting products that were cheaply made in china. That would take the sport to a new level.

You mean Bolton? Best place to unload coons, crows, and deer dogs (live)........as I have been told.

You don't have to own the land, but you have to have the landowner / manager's signature on the application to register the property into the program. When I looked into this, it was $4 a tail too. I do know you get a list of fur and meat buyers when you enter into the program. I'm unsure what is being paid out for fur and meat. In the 10-11 season, there were 13,622 nutria used for fur and 17,156 use for meat. The other 326,949 nutria harvest were abandoned.

No value. You register the property your taking the nutria on into the program that is a LA program.
