Keeper-
I live in La. and have hunted nutria. They are easily dispatched with a .22 on up. Although they are a nuisance and a destructive pest, there is still a season on them. You can check on the internet with La. Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries for further info about that and a hunting license. Keep in mind that there are game wardens around (although I've never been stopped by any). Nutria usually move primarily in early AM and evening and night. You will also see them during day some. According to a friend of mine, they supposedly have some type of awful bacteria or fungus on them that you want to avoid so you may want to use latex or rubber gloves if you handle them.

I hope you're going to fish also. The marsh is hard to beat for drum and speckled trout. Bring a fly rod for them as well as standard tackle. In Delacroix Island area, you can also catch bass.

Have fun, cher! Drink some coffee and eat some beignets in New Orleans.
