Wildlife officials want you to eat this rodent

Nutrias, an invasive rodent, is causing major erosion to the banks of ditches, lakes and other bodies of water in Florida.

Anyone got a good recipe for water rat? I'm sure @WildWill could make it palatable with enough time on the smoker.

I like the "They have to be unalive" part.

Oh they'll make sausage at least.

Feel like Uncle Randy's beaver barbacoa would work pretty well with nutria:

Dear hunting influencers,

Can you all focus on nutria for a year or so and lay off western elk and deer?

Thanks

In Maryland we have hunted the hell out of the nutria. They are not eradicated but enough have been killed you don't hear nearly as much about the issue. I cant say they were all eaten but in this case...I don't care much either.
