Nutria Problem???

Will nutria cut down trees? I have no beaver lodge just holes in the banks... but something is building a dam.

I shot a Nutria one time with a .30-06. Nothing left on the bank but a greasy spot. Normally I use a .22 on them

They are not known for cutting, but they are notorious for digging up along shorelines.

Well I guess it could be a beaver but no lodge and I've never seen either but something is living burrowed into the shore line.

my in laws had a bad beaver problem last year and their lodge was in the bank. knock a hole in the dam right before dark and get a chair and wait for dark and the running water sound will drive them nuts that they have to fix it before they can do anything else... got 3 in one night, shot them as they were swimming up to the dam. might wanna sit at least 40 or 50yds off bc those suckers can tell when your there! its a lot of fun but take care of them before they destroy your place bc they will!

They can't stand the sound of running water

Nutria won't really chew on trees. Sounds like beaver with a bank den. Down here the majority don't build lodges.

hmmmmm sounds alot like my kids!

Dont know but it could be either one. I kill every nutria I see withou any hesitation, those suckers are bad news. Usually dont shoot the beavers unless somebody asked me to.
